Habituation is not neutral or equal: Individual differences in tolerance suggest an overlooked personality trait (2020)
Journal Article
Allan, A., Bailey, A., & Hill, R. (2020). Habituation is not neutral or equal: Individual differences in tolerance suggest an overlooked personality trait. Science Advances, 6(28), Article eaaz0870. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aaz0870

In behavioral studies, observer effects can be substantial, even for habituated animals, but few studies account for potential observer-related phenomenon empirically. We used wild, habituated chacma baboons to explore two key assumptions of behavior...

Influence of food availability, plant productivity and indigenous forest use on ranging behavior of the endangered samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi), in the Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa (2020)
Journal Article
Parker, E., Hill, R. A., Allan, A. T. L., Howlett, C., & Koyama, N. F. (2020). Influence of food availability, plant productivity and indigenous forest use on ranging behavior of the endangered samango monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis schwarzi), in the Soutpansberg Mountains, South Africa. Integrative Zoology, 15(5), 385-400. https://doi.org/10.1111/1749-4877.12438

Understanding the determinants of ranging patterns in species susceptible to habitat fragmentation is fundamental for assessing their long‐term adaptability to an increasingly human‐dominated landscape. The aim of this study was to determine and comp...

Reactive and pre-emptive spatial cohesion in a social primate (2020)
Journal Article
LaBarge, L., Allan, A., Berman, C., Margulis, S., & Hill, R. (2020). Reactive and pre-emptive spatial cohesion in a social primate. Animal Behaviour, 163, 115-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.03.005

Spatial cohesion in group-living animals is assumed as a risk-sensitive characteristic. Few studies have explicitly investigated this assumption or asked whether risk-related changes in spatial cohesion operate over short or long-term scales. We expl...

Anthropogenic influences on primate antipredator behavior and implications for research and conservation (2020)
Journal Article
LaBarge, L. R., Hill, R. A., Berman, C. M., Margulis, S. W., & Allan, A. T. L. (2020). Anthropogenic influences on primate antipredator behavior and implications for research and conservation. American Journal of Primatology, 82(2), Article e23087. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23087

Predation risk affects prey species' behavior, even in the absence of a direct threat, but human‐induced environmental change may disturb ecologically significant predator–prey interactions. Here, we propose various ways in which knowledge of antipre... Read More about Anthropogenic influences on primate antipredator behavior and implications for research and conservation.
