This study examines factors influencing birth synchrony in Perissodactyla, finding environmental seasonality and latitude positively affect it, while productivity does not, and group size supports the swamping hypothesis.

This study examines factors influencing reproductive seasonality in primates, finding that productivity and behavioral strategies affect seasonality more than environmental constraints.

This study examines whether baboons avoid areas after predator encounters and finds no evidence of reactive avoidance.

This paper systematically reviews drivers of birth phenology in large herbivores, finding strong support for seasonality and predation hypotheses but highlighting gaps in Asian and South/Central American species.

The paper examines long-term effects of elephants and browsers on tree structure in a fenced reserve, finding reduced tree height for a given stem diameter but stable canopy area.

The paper examines whether MHC class IIB dissimilarity influences mate choice and divorce in black-legged kittiwakes, finding dissimilar pairing in males but not females and no link to divorce probability.
