- Title
Cost-Benefit Approaches to Territoriality: A Test with Forest Primates.
- Authors
Waser, Peter M.; Homewood, Katherine
- Abstract
Defense of an area has often been suggested to be more likely when the area contains critical resources which are available more continuously, more reliably, or in greater concentration. We report a case in which field experiments and observations of two closely related primate species do not support these expectations. Among other possibilities, the results may indicate conflicting strategies of spacing between males and females.
