Living fast and dying young: A comparative analysis of life‐history variation among mammals

Daniel Promislow, Paul Harvey · 1 Mar 1990

Recent comparative studies point to the importance of mortality schedules as determinants in the evolution of life‐history characteristics. In this paper, we compare patterns of mortality from natural populations of mammals with a variety of life histories. We find that, after removing the effects of body weight, mortality is the best predictor of variation in…

Primate ecology and social organization

Tim Clutton‐Brock, Paul Harvey · 1 Sep 1977

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…

Big city life: carnivores in urban environments

Philip W. Bateman, Patricia A. Fleming · 19 Apr 2012

Abstract Cities may represent one of the most challenging environments for carnivorous mammals. For example, cities have a dearth of vegetation and other natural resources, coupled with increased habitat fragmentation and an abundance of roads as well as altered climate (e.g. temperature, light, rainfall and water runoff). It is therefore intriguing that several carnivore species…

A dynamic similarity hypothesis for the gaits of quadrupedal mammals

R. McN. Alexander, A. S. Jayes · 1 Sep 1983

The dynamic similarity hypothesis postulates that different mammals move in a dynamically similar fashion whenever they travel at speeds that give them equal values of a dimensionless parameter, the Froude number. Thus, given information about one species, it could be possible to predict for others relationships between size, speed and features of gait such as…

Prey preferences of the leopard (<i>Panthera pardus</i>)

Matt W. Hayward, Philipp Henschel, John O’Brien et al. · 1 Jun 2006

Abstract Leopards Panthera pardus have a catholic diet and are generally thought to prey on medium‐sized ungulates; however, knowledge on which species are actually preferred and avoided is lacking, along with an understanding of why such preferences arise. Twenty‐nine published and four unpublished studies of leopard diet that had relative prey abundance estimates associated with…
