We parameterize our social networks with data from wild baboons (Papio cynocephalus) and compare our simulated fissions with actual baboon fission events. (bvsalud.org)

Olive baboons6
chacma baboons in Okavango Delta, Botswana and olive baboons in Laikipia, Kenya. (rutgers.edu)
Currently, he directs "Project Papio, a study "friendships" in chacma baboons in Okavango Delta, Botswana and in olive baboons at his field site in Laikipia, Kenya. (rutgers.edu)
Dr. Palombit is currently conducting a long-term comparative study of chacma baboons ( Papio hamadryas ursinus ) in Botswana and olive baboons ( Papio hamadryas anubis ) in central Kenya. (rutgers.edu)
In East African olive baboons, however, male infanticide occurs rarely, and yet heterosexual friendships develop just as reliably. (rutgers.edu)
Patterson and their fellow researchers in the US and Kenya investigated 50 years' worth of historical data on three groups of wild female olive baboons ( Papio anubis ) in Kenya, all part of the Uaso Ngiro Baboon Project . (paperpanda.app)
The team also recorded more than 2600 hours of observations of 31 female olive baboons from the three groups, noting their activity, social interactions, social partners and their vocalisations. (paperpanda.app)
Anubis1
Male olive baboon ( Papio hamadryas anubis ) "followers" incur time, but not energetic costs. (rutgers.edu)
Chacma5
His data suggest that this social relationship functions as a deterrent to sexually selected infanticide in chacma baboons, which accounts for at least 37% of infant mortality. (rutgers.edu)
This difference is just one of numerous social features distinguishing chacma baboons from their East African cousins (e.g., lack of male-male coalitions, apparently greater sexual monopolization of estrus females by high-ranking males, enhanced territoriality). (rutgers.edu)
Female chacma baboons form strong, equitable, and enduring social bonds. (upenn.edu)
Male and female chacma baboons form friendships based on likelihood of paternity. (upenn.edu)
Chacma Baboons have been observed to use contact calls not only as identification tools and locators of members of the group, but also as a way of communicating messages with one another about their status with respect to the main group. (wikipedia.org)
Variation2
I am studying variation within and between both populations of baboons, collecting genetic, experimental, and observational data that will clarify the causal and functional bases of sexually selected infanticide and heterosexual bonds in a multi-male social setting. (rutgers.edu)
Variation in personality and fitness in wild female baboons. (upenn.edu)
Experimental3
Male baboon responses to experimental manipulations of loud 'wahoo calls': testing an honest signal of fighting ability. (upenn.edu)
Responses of four ungulate species to experimental playback of baboon loud calls. (upenn.edu)
This approach has undergone a resurgence in the last decade as a result of rapidly increasing knowledge from experimental and field studies of baboons and from archeological and paleontological studies of hominins. (bvsalud.org)
Adult1
I think getting a better understanding of that early social development and how it gets 'under the skin' and influences later adult outcomes will shed a lot of light on human experience… We need a lot more research on baboons, humans and other species to really disentangle all these pathways. (paperpanda.app)
Researchers3
For more than 70 y researchers have looked to baboons (monkeys of the genus Papio ) as a source of hypotheses about the ecology and behavior of early hominins (early human ancestors and their close relatives). (bvsalud.org)
The researchers found that baboons with a higher early life adversity score were less sociable, meaning they had fewer interactions with other baboons, says Patterson. (paperpanda.app)
And that, the researchers write, could make the baboon "less attractive" in a social environment. (paperpanda.app)
Social6
Social bonds in female baboons: The interaction between personality, kinship, and rank. (upenn.edu)
Strong and consistent social bonds enhance the longevity of female baboons. (upenn.edu)
Female baboons that had a harder life as youngsters tend to end up struggling in social situations as adults. (paperpanda.app)
These individuals often fail to give the friendly grunt that usually precedes social interactions between baboons, which might make them "socially awkward" and could lead to them being approached and groomed less by peers, says Sam Patterson at New York University. (paperpanda.app)
In particular, they were less likely to receive social attention, like grooming, from fellow baboons compared to those with lower early life adversity scores. (paperpanda.app)
The female baboons with a harder start in life were less likely to grunt when approaching another baboon, suggesting they were less adept at social communication. (paperpanda.app)

Long-term1
Paternity alone does not predict long-term investment in juveniles by male baboons. (upenn.edu)
Early2
The main intent here is to illustrate baboon perspectives on early hominins, with emphasis on recent developments. (bvsalud.org)
The conclusion is optimistic about the future of baboon perspectives on early hominins. (bvsalud.org)
