Red colobus monkeys display alternative behavioral responses to the costs of scramble competition (2008, unknown): “…this apparent lack of feeding competition, it is paradoxical that these monkeys do not typically form larger groups (Janson and Goldsmith 1995; Crockett and Janson 2000; Steenbeek and van Schaik 2001; Koenig and Borries 2002), particularly because larger groups are thought to provide better…”
Socioecological influences on the reproductive success of female mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) (2007, background): “Group type (one-male versus multimale) In the absence of strong feeding competition, the FRS of some species may be more sensitive to male reproductive strategies such as infanticide (Sterck 1997; Crockett and Janson 2000; Steenbeek and van Schaik 2001).”
Activity and Ranging Patterns of Colobus angolensis ruwenzorii in Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda: Possible Costs of Large Group Size (2007, background): “Few empirical studies have attempted to explain the folivore paradox, though researchers have suggested that social factors such as infanticide risk may limit group size for some populations (Chapman and Pavelka, 2005; Crockett and Janson, 2000; Steenbeek and van Schaik, 2001), while food competitio”
Towards an ecological solution to the folivore paradox: patch depletion as an indicator of within-group scramble competition in red colobus monkeys (Piliocolobus tephrosceles) (2005, background): “But many folivores, despite this assumed reduction of within-group feeding competition, often live in relatively small groups (Janson and Goldsmith 1995; Crockett and Janson 2000; Steenbeek and van Schaik 2001; Koenig and Borries 2002).”
To breed or not to breed—food competition and other factors involved in female breeding decisions in the pair-living nocturnal fork-marked lemur (Phaner furcifer) (2003, background): “First, confounding variables (e.g. infanticide by males) may influence the relationship between group size, dominance rank and birth rates (Isbell 1991, Alouatta seniculus: Crockett and Janson 2000).”
Ecological models of female social relationships in primates: similarities, disparities, and some directions for future clarity (2002, background): “…by van Schaik (1983) of fewer infants per female in larger groups of primates and interpreted as evidence of food competition could have well been caused instead by higher rates of infanticide in larger singlemale groups of such time-constrained species (Isbell, 1991; Crockett & Janson, 2000).”
Evolution of Primate Social Systems (2002, background): “Third, infanticide risk provides a selective force that reduces group size under certain conditions (Crockett and Janson, 2000; Steenbeek and van Schaik, 2001).”
Small folivorous primate groups exhibit behavioral and physiological effects of food scarcity (2010, background): “It has been suggested that greater infanticide risk in large groups may explain these primates’ small groups (Janson and Goldsmith 1995; Crockett and Janson 2000; Steenbeek and van Schaik 2001), but it is unclear whether this applies to a select group of species or if it is widespread.”
