Higher temperature extremes exacerbate negative disease effects in a social mammal
Primate socioecology at the crossroads
Attempts to explain differences in the size and structure of primate groups have argued that they are a consequence of variation in the intensity of feeding competition caused by contrasts in food distribution. However, although feeding competition can limit the size of female groups, many other factors affect the costs and the benefits of sociality to females and contribute to differences in group size. Moreover, interspecific differences in soc…
Cooperation between non-kin in animal societies
Punishment in animal societies
Life History Variation in Primates
Extensive variation in life-history patterns is documented across primate species. Variables included are gestation length, neonatal weight, litter size, age at weaning, age at sexual maturity, age at first breeding, longevity, and length of the estrous cycle. Species within genera and genera within subfamilies tend to be very similar on most measures, and about 85% of the variation remains when the subfamily is used as the level for statistical …

Sexual dimorphism in primate teeth
A new measure of sexual dimorphism in tooth size (Relative Male Tooth Size) is estimated for a sample of 39 primate species and is used to test predictions concerning the adaptive significance of sexual dimorphism in primate tooth size. It is concluded that both sexual selection and predator defence are important selective forces producing marked sexual dimorphism in the teeth used for fighting.
Primate ecology and social organization
Estimates of body weight, group size, home range size, day range length, socionomic sex ratio and sexual dimorphism are compared between 100 primate species, allocated to seven ecological categories. As would be predicted on energetic grounds, home range size and day range length are positively related to group weight and are greater in frugivores than in folivores; population density is negatively related to body weight; and group size is positi…
