• Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “…ecology and foraging models Human behavioral ecology is a style of evolutionary thought that examines how environmental and ecological factors influence variability in human behavior (e.g., Cronk 1991; Kelly 1995, 2000; Smith and Winterhalder 1992; Smith et al. 2001; Winterhalder and Smith 2000).”
• THE EVOLUTION OF HUMAN PHYSICAL ATTRACTIVENESS (2005, background): “Adaptationists often use quantitative optimization models to try to understand how selection operates on phenotypes, given trade-offs (e.g., Seger & Stubblefield 1996, Winterhalder & Smith 2000).”
• To give and to give not: The behavioral ecology of human food transfers (2004, background): “As his account demonstrates, this is an area characterized by unusually diligent quantitative research, sophisticated theory, and active debate over competing explanations – hallmarks of the relatively small but active field of human behavioral ecology (Winterhalder & Smith 2000).”
• Dietary evenness, prey choice, and human–environment interactions (2004, unknown): “Given the increasing popularity of optimal foraging theory-based studies of archaeological subsistence [42], and the sometimes dramatic results achieved by authors already making use of evenness [19,21,36], an examination of what evenness actually measures is essential.”
• The benefits of costly signaling: Meriam turtle hunters (2003, background): “R esearchers in the field of human behavioral ecology have made considerable progress in explaining variation in human foraging strategies, life history, and related topics (Borgerhoff Mulder, 1991; Smith and Winterhalder, 1992; Voland, 1998; Winterhalder and Smith, 2000).”
• The hunting handicap: costly signaling in human foraging strategies (2001, background): “…that CST has the potential to account for many puzzling aspects of human foraging strategies, and to substantially modify received views about optimal foraging, food sharing, and other phenomena central to studies of human behavioral ecology in small-scale societies (Winterhalder and Smith 2000).”
• When bigger is not better: The economics of hunting megafauna and its implications for Plio-Pleistocene hunter-gatherers (2016, methodology): “Models derived from Human Behavioral Ecology (HBE) are described in great detail elsewhere (e.g., Smith, 1983; Winterhalder and Smith, 2000) and here we only provide details as related to the costs of prey acquisition for the PreyCM (e.”
• Feminism and the Evolution of Sex Differences and Similarities (2011, background): “Contemporary science features numerous debates about human evolution, with contenders such as gene-culture coevolutionary models (Richerson and Boyd 2005) and human behavioral ecology (Winterhalder and Smith 2000), along with sociobiology and evolutionary psychology.”
