Specifically, I studied the sexual behaviour of a large population (approximately 170 individuals) of wild olive baboons (Papio anubis), at Lake Manyara National Park (LMNP), in East Africa, Tanzania. (uni-goettingen.de)
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)
Male olive baboon ( Papio hamadryas anubis ) "followers" incur time, but not energetic costs. (rutgers.edu)
Recently, we documented T. pallidum infection in olive baboons ( Papio anubis ) at Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania ( 6 ). (cdc.gov)
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)
P. anubis (olive baboon) is found in central African savanna, and P. cynocephalus (yellow baboon) is found in Angola , Zambia , Malawi , Tanzania , Kenya , and Somalia. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
P.h. hamadyas (sacred baboons), P. h. cynocephalus (yellow baboons), P. h. ursinus (Chacma baboons), P. h. papio (red baboons or Guinea baboons), and P. H. anubis (olive baboons). (newworldencyclopedia.org)
On the savanna, large herds of impalas (Aepyceros melampus) and Grant's gazelles (Nanger granti) are grazing, accompanied by a troop of about a hundred olive baboons (Papio anubis) . (kajhalberg.dk)
Hamadryas8
Dunbar [1988], for example, suggested that the use of arid areas with low food densities might be responsible for the hamadryas baboon's unique social system, while the chacma baboon is also called the 'mountain' baboon for its use of the Drakensberg mountains [Henzi and Barrett, 2003]. (karger.com)
2001] of hamadryas habitats in Eritrea found that this taxon does indeed use more arid environments than neighbouring olive baboons, but also occupies moist coastal lowlands and makes use of a wide range of vegetation types. (karger.com)
P. hamadryas (Hamadryas baboon) is found in northeast Africa and into southwestern Arabia. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
The Hamadryas baboon was a sacred animal to the ancient Egyptians as the attendant of Thoth , and so, is also called the sacred baboon. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Many authors distinguish P. hamadryas as a full species, but regard all the others as subspecies of P. cynocephalus and refer to them collectively as "savanna baboons. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
However, while behaviorally and physically distinct from other baboon types, the Hamadryas baboon is known to hybridize with olive baboons, and recent phylogenetic studies of Papio show Hamadryas baboons to be more closely related to Guinea and olive baboons than to Chacmas (Newman et al. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Chacma baboons4
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)
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)
Primates3
Arnold, 2009], and the Papio baboons as a whole are amongst the most successful African primates [Barrett and Henzi, 2008]. (karger.com)
These tests have enabled us to learn more about the T. pallidum strains that infect wild nonhuman primates. (cdc.gov)
In the informal division of primates into the three groups of prosimians, monkeys of the New World, and monkeys and apes of the Old World, the baboons are considered Old World monkeys . (newworldencyclopedia.org)
The savannah baboons (genus Papio ) form a cluster of 6 closely related allotaxa, classified either as separate species (e.g. (karger.com)
Kunz and Linsenmair, 2008], although there is also evidence for some overarching patterning in baboon-environment relationships at the genus scale. (karger.com)
However, previously the closely related gelada (genus Theropithecus ) and two species of mandrill and drill (genus Mandrillus ) were grouped in the same genus, and these monkeys are still often referred to as baboons in everyday speech. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Africa4
During the 1960s, researchers reported that many baboons in West Africa were seropositive for treponemal infection ( 4 ). (cdc.gov)
In terms of genetic distance, studies thus far indicate that the organisms infecting baboons in West and East Africa closely resemble T. pallidum subsp. (cdc.gov)
Infection has been confirmed by serologic tests in a variety of nonhuman primate species in the yaws belt of Africa and by PCR in baboons from East and West Africa ( Figure ). (cdc.gov)
Baboons are terrestrial (ground dwelling) and are found in savanna, open woodland, and hills across Africa . (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Primate2
By contrast, compelling evidence suggests that yaws exists in wild nonhuman primate populations residing in regions where humans are also infected ( Figure ). (cdc.gov)
The long-term bacterial gut signature of a wild primate is associated with a timing effect of pre- and postnatal maternal glucocorticoid levels. (dpz.eu)
Humans6
2013] for the chacma baboon, for instance, suggested this species actually prefers cool, low-altitude habitats with moderate rainfall and may only use the marginal Drakensberg environments as a result of interactions with humans, and the study by Zinner et al. (karger.com)
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)
There are a number of genetic and physiological similarities between baboons and humans , including organ sizes, presence of menopause, and structures of major tissues . (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Like humans, baboons respond to stress through the release of stress hormones , and these two groups have about 91 percent genetic similarity. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Nonetheless, the gulf between humans and baboons is immense, as people exhibit complex languages , complex technologies , and complex social behaviors ( religions , politics, etc.), among numerous other differences. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Chimpanzees are extensively studied in the wild and in captivity and have been found to be closer to humans than any other creature as they share over 98% of our DNA. (wildlife-animals.com)
Females1
The post-copulatory behaviour of females was not altered in relation to visible signs of disease, which means TP does play role on a pre-copulatory level but not at a post-copulatory level.This dissertation sheds light on behavioural avoidance in wild NHPs in relation to STIs and contributes to a better understanding of host-pathogen interactions and pathogen-avoidance. (uni-goettingen.de)
Quantitative1
Quantitative studies of animals in the wild are also essential for comparing various types of social systems, which leads to an understanding of the proximate and ultimate factors that shape animal societies. (encyclopedia.pub)
Captivity1
Baboons in captivity have been known to live up to 45 years, while in the wild their life expectancy is about 30 years. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Guinea4
A recent survey in 2013 at Parc National du Niokolo-Koba, Senegal, revealed T. pallidum antibodies in Guinea baboons ( P. papio ) with no signs of infection (S. Knauf et al, unpub. (cdc.gov)
In fact, the genome sequence of a T. pallidum strain collected from a baboon in Guinea indicates that it should be considered a T. pallidum subsp. (cdc.gov)
The Chacma baboon can be 120 cm (47 inches) and weigh 40 kg (90 lb), while the biggest Guinea baboon is 50 cm (20 inches) and weighs only 14 kg (30 lb). (newworldencyclopedia.org)
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)

Monkeys3
He has studied monogamous pair bonds in wild white-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) and siamang (H.syndactylus) in northern Sumatra, Indonesia, and conducted short-term research on titi monkeys (Callicebus moloch) and red-bearded saki monkeys (Pithecia aequatorialis) in the upper Amazon of Ecuador. (rutgers.edu)
These calluses are nerveless, hairless pads of skin which provide for the sitting comfort of the baboon (and other Old World monkeys ). (newworldencyclopedia.org)
The country's promotion as a "paradise island", however, is tarnished by a dark side of which most holidaymakers are totally unaware: the country's cruel persecution of the wild monkeys who share the island with the human residents. (actionforprimates.org)
Species4
There have, however, been few systematic comparisons of the environments occupied by the 6 major Papio species, and how differences in range conditions and variability might affect their evolutionary ecology remains unknown. (karger.com)
In fact, the differences between the environments occupied by adjacent troops in well-known national parks may be as large or larger than the average differences in the ranges of different species, and this may have important implications for baboon biogeography. (karger.com)
Existing synthetic studies of individual baboon species' ranges and ecological niches, however, point to a complex relationship with the environment. (karger.com)
In all baboon species, there is pronounced sexual dimorphism, usually in size, but also sometimes in color or canine development. (newworldencyclopedia.org)
Comparative1
Additionally, it adds important data on baboon mating behaviour which is essential for comparative analyses. (uni-goettingen.de)
Recent advances in analysis and observation techniques, such as network analysis and global positioning system (GPS) tags/logger, have contributed to advances in the study of animal societies in the wild [ 1 ] . (encyclopedia.pub)
Social6
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)
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)
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)
And that, the researchers write, could make the baboon "less attractive" in a social environment. (paperpanda.app)
Found1
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)
Study1
Because of such traits, baboons have been used to study obesity, heart disease , epilepsy, and other human diseases . (newworldencyclopedia.org)
