The hypothesis that both sexes perceive significant antipredator benefits of group living is supported, as both sexes benefited from grouping by reducing the time invested in vigilance and increased foraging effort.

One of the advantages of living in groups is that individuals may need to be less vigilant, allowing them more time for other important activities, such as foraging. This relationship between group…

The results imply that the benefits for foraging obtained from the reduced vigilance level in larger groups may be constrained or offset by increased interaction (or competition) within larger groups even in a population that faces negligible predation risk.

The results showed that smaller males were more selective than larger ones, on account of their lower capability of digesting plant, and the effects of body mass per se on both foraging and anti-predator behaviours in herbivores, supporting the Jarman-Bell principle.
