Development and Disintegration of Maya Political Systems in Response to Climate Change
TLDR
A precisely dated subannual climate record for the past 2000 years from Yok Balum Cave, Belize is presented and it is proposed that anomalously high rainfall favored unprecedented population expansion and the proliferation of political centers between 440 and 660 C.E.

12. The Ideal Free Distribution, Food Production, and the Colonization of Oceania
TLDR
This chapter develops an integrative, multivariate approach to island colonization in Oceania based on a model from behavioral ecology known as the Ideal Free Distribution that provides a framework that considers the dynamic character of island suitability along with density-dependent and density-independent variables influencing migratory behavior.

Social foraging and the behavioral ecology of intragroup resource transfers
TLDR
New studies in the behavioral ecology of transfers show them to be more commonplace in nature, more complicated and variable, and more subject to comparative analysis than has been appreciated.
