• Segregation of Beaufort Sea beluga whales during the open-water season (2006, unknown): “Some studies have found sexual segregation to be driven by body size dimorphism (Ruckstuhl and Neuhaus 2002; Bowyer 2004 ), where males and females within a species have different resource demands related to size.”
• Males in the shade: habitat use and sexual segregation in the Galápagos sea lion (Zalophus californianus wollebaeki) (2005, background): “For polygynous, dimorphic ungulate species several hypotheses have been put forward about the underlying mechanisms (Main et al. 1996; Ruckstuhl and Neuhaus 2000; Bowyer 2004).”
• Space use of moose in relation to food availability (2005, background): “, food quality and quantity) and predator avoidance strategies of females accompanied by calves (Bowyer 2004).”
• Roads and supplemental feeding affect home-range size of Slovenian red deer more than natural factors (2012, background): “Several studies have shown that habitat use in ungulates is sex specific (e.g., Bowyer 2004); therefore, I also tested effects of sex and interactions between sex and all environmental variables.”
• A review of the population dynamics of mule deer and black‐tailed deer Odocoileus hemionus in North America (2013, background): “Furthermore, mule deer sexes segregate outside the mating season (Bowyer 2004).”
• Life-History Characteristics of Mule Deer: Effects of Nutrition in a Variable Environment (2014, background): “We included estimated number of females rather than a population estimate because males and females partition use of resources throughout much of the year (McCullough 1979; Bowyer 1984, 2004; Kie and Bowyer 1999).”
• Sex-specific foraging behaviour in northern gannets Morus bassanus: incidence and implications (2012, background): “Many marine and terrestrial animals exhibit clear sex-related differences in foraging behaviour and distribution (e.g. Main et al. 1996, Conradt 1998, González-Solís et al. 2000, Bowyer 2004, Bearhop et al. 2006, Paredes & Insley 2010).”
• Effects of scale on interpreting life‐history characteristics of ungulates and carnivores (2006, methodology): “This lifehistory characteristic of ruminants has its underpinnings in allometric differences between dimorphic sexes (Barboza & Bowyer, 2000, 2001), but also can be affected by risk of predation (Bleich et al., 1997; Corti & Shackelton, 2002; Bowyer, 2004).”
