TLDR
It is suggested that rather than remembering the specific locations of thousands of individual feeding trees and their phenological schedules, spider and woolly monkeys could nonetheless forage efficiently by committing to memory a series of route segments that, when followed, bring them into contact with many potential feeding sources for monitoring or visitation.Citations

What wild primates know about resources: opening up the black box
TL;DR: A synthesis emphasizing what kinds of spatial movement data on unmanipulated primate populations in the wild are most useful in deciphering goal-oriented processes from random processes is concluded.

Integrating information about location and value of resources by white-faced saki monkeys (Pithecia pithecia).
TL;DR: Although the sakis’ foraging choices increased the distance they traveled overall, choosing more valued sites allowed the group to minimize intragroup feeding competition, maintain intergroup dominance over important resources, and monitor the state of resources throughout their home range.

Sophisticated Euclidean maps in forest chimpanzees
TL;DR: Examination of spatial orientation abilities of wild chimpanzees in Tai National Park, Cote d'Ivoire suggests that the chimpanzees knew precisely where they were going, travelled in a straight line to reach food resources, and were aware of the distance they wereGoing to walk.

Environmental Predictability as a Cause and Consequence of Animal Movement
TL;DR: The main strands of the literature on the feedbacks between environmental predictability and animal movement are synthesised and how they may react to anthropogenic disruption is discussed, leading to unexpected threats for wildlife and the environment.

Niche Construction: The Neglected Process in Evolution
TL;DR: This book extends evolutionary theory by formally including niche construction and ecological inheritance as additional evolutionary processes, and demonstrates how the theory can resolve long-standing problems in ecology, particularly by advancing the sorely needed synthesis of ecology and evolution.
