The Primate Socioecological Model was developed in an attempt to explain variations in size and structure exhibited within primate groups through contrasts within food distributions across varying environments. The traditional model directly opposes the explanation of predation pressure as the driving force in the formation of social networks within primates,[1] although this has been reassessed by later researchers.[2][3] The approach differed from previous models in that it selected to examine strictly female distribution and behavior, under the assumption that variables in males are governed primarily by the distribution of available mating partners.[4][5][6][7] At its core, the primate socioecology model proposes that females form groups in order to defend unevenly distributed resources. The benefit of between-group competition then outweighs the costs of within-group competition. The selection for individuals who are willing to work cooperatively then promulgates the building of strong social and kin-ties.[8]
