Infant Mortality, Paternity Certainty, and Female Reproductive Strategies in Hamadryas Baboonssion toward infants are risks for hamadryas and other baboons and, as has been suggested for other primates, these risks may have played a role in shaping female baboon reproductive strategies. One way that females may reduce aggression toward (and promote protection of) infants is by increasing pat

Hybrid Baboons and the Origins of the Hamadryas Male Reproductive Strategy with other males for estrous females throughout the group. Hamadryas males also exhibit a sustained, intense interest in females, regardless of estrus condition, an interest manifested by stereotypical herding behaviors. In this chapter, I use the behavioral variation expressed by hybrid (olive × h

Population genetic theory predicts that the semiclosed, substructured social groupings exhibited by these taxa should result in increased relatedness among group members, possibly facilitating relatively rapid rates of evolution when compared to taxa without similarly subdivided popu

Reproduction, Mortality, and Female Reproductive Success in Chacma Baboons of the Okavango Delta, Boompetitive exclusion allows high-ranking females to gain priority of access to critical food resources. It may also exacerbate them, if low-ranking females are forced to feed or rest in marginal habitats where they are at increased risk. In this chapter, we present data on reproduction, mortality, a

Ontogeny, Life History, and Maternal Investment in Baboons life history. This viewpoint anticipates that life history variables are dissociable, or capable of responding to selection independent of one another. The result is diversity in how primate life histories unfold. . baboons provide excellent evidence for this view of life history, illustrating a mo
