  • 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 Cercopithecinae are a subfamily of the Old World monkeys, which comprises roughly 71 species, including the baboons, the macaques, and the vervet monkeys. (wikipedia.org)
  • Primate behavioral ecology (3rd ed. (wikipedia.org)
  • The chacma baboon population in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa provides one of the best examples of primate commensalism with humans. (biomedcentral.com)
  • This begins with a discussion of baboons and hominins as we know them currently and explains the reasons for drawing comparisons between them. (bvsalud.org)
  • The resultant spatial competition between humans and baboons explains the high levels of human-baboon conflict and further erosion of the remaining land fragments is predicted to exacerbate competition. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In the midst of this, individuals may display behavioral traits: consistent differences in behaviors across time and/or context. (nature.com)
  • The body weight normalized total body clearance of inulin was similar in pigs and baboons despite differences in absolute clearances. (bvsalud.org)
  • The extent to which behavioral traits and their syndromes persist throughout ontogeny is still poorly understood, and no obvious patterns have emerged in the literature. (nature.com)
  • We use hurdle models to ascertain the key landscape features influencing baboon occurrence and abundance patterns on two hierarchical spatial scales. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The potential moderators and consequences of these power-related behavioral patterns are discussed. (studylib.net)
  • Based on 32 years of social behavioral data for 179 wild bottlenose dolphins, we show that social traits (associate number, time alone and in large groups) are stable from infancy to late adulthood. (nature.com)
  • We parameterize our social networks with data from wild baboons (Papio cynocephalus) and compare our simulated fissions with actual baboon fission events. (bvsalud.org)
  • Multivariate analysis revealed strong relationships between these stable metrics within individuals, suggesting a complex behavioral syndrome comparable to human extraversion. (nature.com)
  • We provide rare empirical evidence to demonstrate the persistence of social behavioral traits over decades in a non-human animal. (nature.com)
  • The study documented that pig kidneys support the physiologic needs of baboons and are likely to support human recipients as well. (bvsalud.org)
  • In the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, rapid human population growth, and the associated urban and rural land transformation, threatens the sustainability of the local chacma baboon population. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The models indicated that baboons were more likely to occur, and be more abundant, at low altitudes, on steep slopes and in human-modified habitats. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The model results indicate that land development in the Cape Peninsula has pushed baboons into increasingly marginal natural habitat while simultaneously providing them with predictable and easily accessible food sources in human-modified habitats. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The earliest records of baboon and human co-existence in the Cape Peninsula date back to the 15th century with the arrival of Dutch settlers in South Africa [ 13 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Table 1 Definitions for levels of behavioral measurements, as used in this paper. (nature.com)
  • 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)
  • Long-lived, social mammals have protracted dependency periods, extensive behavioral repertoires, and can experience environmental change over multiple years and seasons, providing an opportunity to test the limits of behavioral stability. (nature.com)
  • Our aims were (i) to compare inulin clearance after a short intravenous (IV) bolus with steady-state inulin IV infusion, (ii) to use this method to measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and (iii) to determine the tubular secretory function using cefoxitin in a pig-to-baboon renal transplant model. (bvsalud.org)
  • A short IV infusion of inulin and cefoxitin were followed by a maintenance IV infusion of inulin over 5 h in seven healthy baboons, three healthy pigs, and five baboons after bilateral native nephrectomy and intra-abdominal pig renal transplantation. (bvsalud.org)
  • 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)
  • The various species are adapted to the different terrains they inhabit. (wikipedia.org)
  • Limited publication on the resulting Haasgat Dumpsite faunal assemblage (HGD) described a large sample of extinct terminal Pliocene or early Pleistocene primates, including Papio angusticeps and a novel species of extinct Cercopithecoides , but an essentially modern sample of ungulates.
