Trade-offs between time, predation risk and life history, and their implications for biogeography: a systems modelling approach with a primate case study
Group sizes are often considered to be the result of a trade-off between predation risk and the costs of feeding competition. We develop a model to explore the interaction between different ecological constraints on group sizes, using a primate (baboons) case study. The model uses climatic correlate...
