The effect of new alpha males on female stress in free-ranging baboons (2005, background): “Perhaps in response to the threat of infanticide, lactating females often compete to form close, affiliative relationships, or ‘friendships’, with specific adult males (Busse 1984; Palombit et al. 1997, 2000, 2001; Palombit 1999; Weingrill 2000).”
Factors affecting individual participation in group-level aggression among non-human primates (2007, unknown): “Although only systematically examined in a few species, infant-defence explains some of the variation in male–male aggressive behaviour within and between groups (e.g., Hanuman langurs, Borries, 1997; chacma baboons, Palombit et al., 2000; Geoffroy's colobus, Saj & Sicotte, 2005).”
Factors Affecting Reproduction and Mortality Among Baboons in the Okavango Delta, Botswana (2004, background): “In the case of infanticide, we distinguished the following additional categories ( Palombit et al., 2000 ):”
Female hierarchy instability, male immigration and infanticide increase glucocorticoid levels in female chacma baboons (2006, background): “A single exception involved a recent immigrant who rose to alpha status soon after the attack (Palombit et al. 2000).”
Testosterone predicts future dominance rank and mating activity among male chacma baboons (2006, background): “These friendships appear to be a sexually selected strategy for protecting offspring against infanticidal attacks (Hamilton 1984; Palombit et al. 1997, 2000).”
The Guenons: Diversity and Adaptation in African Monkeys (2002, background): “…a male strategy against females, it becomes much easier to reconcile the occurrence of infanticide in species that were not originally expected to have infanticide, i.e., multimale species such as baboons (Papio ursinus: Palombit et al., 2000) and seasonally breeding species such as patas monkeys.”
Correlates of stress in free-ranging male chacma baboons, Papio hamadryas ursinus (2005, background): “Immigrant males that attain alpha status frequently commit infanticide (Palombit et al. 2000).”
Female–female competition for male ‘friends’ in wild chacma baboons (Papio cynocephalus ursinus) (2001, background): “Protection in this context may rely more on enhanced vigilance and early detection of the infanticidal alpha male rather than direct, aggressive defence of the kind provided by a male friend (although subadult or young adult sons are known to defend mothers under attack; Palombit et al. 2000).”
Baboon loud calls advertise male quality: acoustic features and their relation to rank, age, and exhaustion (2004, background): “Immigrant and young adult males also appear to be more willing to challenge other males and to escalate fights, perhaps not only because they are in better condition but also because they have not yet fathered offspring whom they need to protect against potentially infanticidal males (Hamilton and B”
