Group size, grooming and social cohesion in primates

TL;DR: For example, this paper found that grooming time is asymptotic when group size exceeds 40 individuals, indicating that time constraints resulting from ecological pressure force individuals to compromise on their grooming time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time as an ecological constraint.

TL;DR: The linear programming approach identifies the realizable niche space within which a species can maintain coherent groups that are larger than the minimum viable group size (or density) and allows us to understand better why a given taxon can survive in some habitats but not others.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fission–fusion social systems as a strategy for coping with ecological constraints: a primate case

TL;DR: A linear programming approach is used to build a time budget model that predicts the upper bound on group size in order to test the hypothesis that fission–fusion social systems are the outcome of time constraints and suggests that the costs of travel are limiting for chimpanzees.
