Primate home-range size and metabolic needs
Abstract
We test the hypothesis that cross-species variation in home range size across primates is determined by the metabolic needs of the animals occupying the home range and by their diet. Metabolic needs are calculated from published records of group structure, time spent in different activities and the metabolic costs of those activities. Data from 20 species demonstrate clear relationships between home range, diet and metabolic needs. Although...
