The benefits of social capital: close social bonds among female baboons enhance offspring survival (2009, background): “Members of high-ranking matrilines enjoy a competitive advantage over members of lower-ranking ones, but the magnitude of the effect of dominance rank on female reproductive success, as in most primate species, is generally modest (Altmann & Alberts 2003; Cheney et al. 2004).”
Seasonality in Primates: Seasonality and long-term change in a savanna environment (2005, background): “Their coping strategies have included decreasing the time devoted to socializing during hard times, modifying their diet as the habitat changed, and adaptively shifting their home range in the face of habitat deterioration (Bronikowski & Altmann 1996; Altmann & Alberts 2003).”
Social relationships among adult female baboons (Papio cynocephalus) II. Variation in the quality and stability of social bonds (2006, background): “Study population We studied the members of several wellhabituated savannah baboon groups that occupied overlapping home ranges in the Amboseli basin at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro (see Altmann and Alberts 2003 for more details about the study population).”
Social relationships among adult female baboons (papio cynocephalus) I. Variation in the strength of social bonds (2006, background): “…(Arnold 1990; Christal and Whitehead 2001; Dobson et al. 2000; Hackländer et al. 2003; König 1994; McComb et al. 2001), decreases the costs of maternal investment (Gerlach and Bartmann 2002; Hayes and Solomon 2004), and reduces the risk of infanticide (Boonstra and Hogg 1988; Dobson et al. 2000;…”
Rank differences in energy intake rates in white-faced capuchin monkeys, Cebus capucinus: the effects of contest competition (2005, background): “…Gobin et al. 2003; see Clutton-Brock 1988 for review), offspring survival (chacma baboons: Busse 1982; Bulger and Hamilton 1987; savannah baboons: Altmann and Alberts 2003b; meerkats: Russell et al. 2003), spatial positioning in the group (wedge-capped capuchin monkeys and Robinson 1981;…”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “Female reproductive success was measured as the proportion of infants that survive to 1 year, which is a major component of variation in lifetime fitness among baboon females in this population (Alberts & Altmann 2003; Altmann & Alberts 2003).”
Patterns of coalition formation by adult female baboons in Amboseli, Kenya (2004, background): “If the benefits of group membership are distributed unequally, and low-ranking individuals can leave the group, then high-ranking individuals may need to provide incentives, such as coalitionary support, for low-ranking females to stay (Altmann & Alberts 2003 and unpublished data).”
Juvenile survival and benefits of play behaviour in brown bears, Ursus arctos (2004, background): “It incorporates particular life-history characteristics of mammals and birds as well as previous theory (Pereira and Fairbanks, 1993; Wachter and Finch, 1997; Altmann and Alberts, 2003).”
Strong and consistent social bonds enhance the longevity of female baboons. (2010, background): “Among female baboons, variation in breeding lifespan accounts for approximately 50% of the variation in lifetime fitness [5, 6].”
Growth rates in a wild primate population: ecological influences and maternal effects (2005, background): “Annual survival rates for juveniles are over 90% in both of the very different foraging conditions (Alberts and Altmann 2003; Altmann and Alberts 2003).”
Sexual selection in wild baboons: from mating opportunities to paternity success (2006, background): “This study was part of ongoing research into the biology of baboons in the Amboseli basin at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro (e.g. Alberts & Altmann 1995a; Altmann & Alberts 2003b).”
The Cognitive Differentiation-Integration Effort Hypothesis: A Synthesis between the Fitness Indicator and Life History Models of Human Intelligence (2011, background): “…positively associated with higher-K traits (such as greater brain weight) between taxa, but is negatively correlated with slow life history between individuals within a species as it is associated with larger litters and higher reproductive rates (Altmann & Alberts, 2003; Sefcek & Figueredo, 2010).”
