Female–female aggression around mating: an extra cost of sociality in a multimale primate society (2011, background): “In this case, the recent finding that young mothers might seek assistance from male friends to avoid harassment from other females (Lemasson et al. 2008; Nguyen et al. 2009), in conjunction with the natural attraction of females toward newborns (Seyfarth 1976; Silk et al. 2003), might together help…”
Numerical assessment and individual call discrimination by wild spotted hyaenas, Crocuta crocuta (2011, unknown): “Our methods follow those used in earlier playback experiments on hyaenas and olive baboons, Papio hamadryas anubis (Lemasson et al. 2008; Watts et al. 2010).”
More than friends? Behavioural and genetic aspects of heterosexual associations in wild chacma baboons (2010, methodology): “Furthermore, females were consistently responsible for maintaining proximity, confirming previous observations on chacma baboons (Seyfarth 1978; Palombit et al. 1997), but in contrast to olive baboons (Smuts 1985; Lemasson et al. 2008).”
Hedging their bets? Male and female chacma baboons form friendships based on likelihood of paternity (2010, background): “The primary function of friendships may differ across baboon subspecies (Smuts 1985; Palombit et al. 1997, 2000; Lemasson et al. 2008; Nguyen et al. 2009).”
All together now: behavioural synchrony in baboons. (2009, background): “In the case of lactating females, male–female ‘friendships’ in response to the threats presented by infanticidal males (Lemasson et al. 2008), together with female strategies for coping with energetic costs of lactation at different infant ages (Barrett et al.”
