Comparative ecology of Guinea baboons (<i>Papio papio</i>)

Dietmar Zinner, Matthias Klapproth, Andrea Schell et al. · 21 May 2021

Abstract. Thorough knowledge of the ecology of a species or population is an essential prerequisite for understanding the impact of ecology on the evolution of their respective social systems. Because of their diversity of social organizations, baboons (Papio spp.) are a useful model for comparative studies. Comparative ecological information was missing for Guinea baboons (Papio…

Meat sharing between male and female Guinea baboons (<i>Papio papio</i>)

Adeelia S. Goffe, Julia Fischer · 4 Feb 2016

Abstract. Meat sharing in non-human primates has been linked to a variety of functions, including harassment reduction, mate provisioning and status enhancement. We present observational data regarding male prey capture and male–female meat sharing in wild Guinea baboons. Guinea baboons live in a multilevel society that comprises units of males with associated females and, sometimes,…

Training laboratory primates – benefits and techniques

Karolina Westlund · 21 Dec 2015

Abstract. This review discusses the benefits of training in the effective management of laboratory-housed nonhuman primates, including improved welfare, facilitated husbandry, improved quality of data, and human–animal relationships. Training implies that the animals cooperate in aspects of their own care and is a type of enrichment. Some refined ways of using negative reinforcement are discussed,…

Genetic inference of group dynamics and female kin structure in a western lowland gorilla population (<i>Gorilla gorilla gorilla</i>)

Mimi Arandjelovic, Josephine Head, Christophe Boesch et al. · 15 Dec 2014

Abstract. Dispersal and grouping patterns form the foundations of social interactions in group-living mammals and are the outcomes of a complex interplay between inbreeding avoidance, kin cooperation and competition, predation pressure and food resource distribution. In species where both sexes disperse, the potential for kin-biased associations would seem limited. In one such species, the western…

Is <i>Colobus guereza gallarum</i> a valid endemic Ethiopian taxon?

Dietmar Zinner, Tesfaye Dereje, Nils Chr. Stenseth et al. · 18 Apr 2019

Abstract. Black-and-white colobus (Colobus guereza Rüppell, 1835) are arboreal Old World monkeys inhabiting large parts of the deciduous and evergreen forests of sub-Saharan Africa. Two of the eight subspecies of Colobus guereza are endemic to Ethiopia: C. g. gallarum and C. g. guereza. However, the validity of the Ethiopian taxa is debated and observed morphological…
