Role assessment, reserve strategy, and acquisition of information in asymmetric animal conflicts
- G. A. Parker, D. Rubenstein
- Psychology
- Animal Behaviour
- 1 February 1981
It was formerly argued that alternative evolutionarily stable strategies (ESSs) are possible for animal contests characterized by some asymmetry that can be perceived with perfect accuracy. Where… Expand

Mortality risk of spatial positions in animal groups: The danger of being in the front
- D. Bumann, J. Krause, D. Rubenstein
- Biology
- 1997
We modified Hamilton's (1971) selfish herd model by introducing directional movement to the prey groups and the predators. The consequences of this modification with regards to differential predation… Expand
Network metrics reveal differences in social organization between two fission–fusion species, Grevy’s zebra and onager
- S. Sundaresan, Ilya R. Fischhoff, J. Dushoff, D. Rubenstein
- Biology, Medicine
- Oecologia
- 5 January 2007
For species in which group membership frequently changes, it has been a challenge to characterize variation in individual interactions and social structure. Quantifying this variation is necessary to… Expand
Social relationships and reproductive state influence leadership roles in movements of plains zebra, Equus burchellii
- Ilya R. Fischhoff, S. Sundaresan, J. Cordingley, Heather M. Larkin, D. Rubenstein
- Psychology

In animal groups, collective movements emerge from individual interactions. Biologists seek to identify how characteristics of actors in these groups, and their relationships, influence the… Expand
DNA metabarcoding illuminates dietary niche partitioning by African large herbivores
- Tyler R. Kartzinel, Patricia A Chen, +6 authors Robert M. Pringle
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 1 June 2015
Significance Theory holds that sympatric large mammalian herbivores (LMH) must partition food resources to coexist, and traditional frameworks categorize LMH along a spectrum from grass-eating… Expand
The Dynamics of Herds: From Individuals to Aggregations
- Shay Gueron, S. Levin, D. Rubenstein
- Biology
- 7 September 1996
Abstract The dynamic behavior of small herds is investigated by means of simulations of two-dimensional discrete-stochastic models. An individual-based approach is used to relate collective behavior… Expand
Leadership in fish shoals
- J. Krause, D. Hoare, S. Krause, C. Hemelrijk, D. Rubenstein
- Biology
- 1 March 2000
Leadership is not an inherent quality of animal groups that show directional locomotion. However, there are other factors that may be responsible for the occurrence of leadership in fish shoals, such… Expand
Sperm competition in the water strider, Gerris remigis
- D. Rubenstein
- Biology
- Animal Behaviour
- 1 October 1989
Abstract Sperm competition occurs in the giant water strider. In serial mating experiments using normal and sterilized males, the last male to mate was able to displace, on average, 65% of the sperm… Expand
The Mechanisms of Filter Feeding: Some Theoretical Considerations

- Biology
- The American Naturalist
- 1 September 1977
We enumerate the five basic mechanisms by which any biological or manmade filter can remove particles from a fluid. These mechanisms are: (1) direct interception, (2) inertial impaction, (3)… Expand
