Costs of group size: lower developmental and reproductive rates in larger groups of leaf monkeys (2008, background): “Similarly, during later infancy, nutrition might have influenced the speed of infant development because infants of the large group were weaned at a significantly older age (Figure 2). Although comparable measures have rarely been published for nonhuman primates (but see Altmann and Alberts 2005 ),”
The adaptive value of sociality in mammalian groups (2007, background): “However, significant effects of female dominance rank on all of the components of female reproductive success are not observed in all baboon populations (e.g. Packer et al. 1995; Cheney et al. 2004) or during all periods (Altmann & Alberts 2005).”
Life History and Reproductive Strategies of Khao Yai Hylobates lar: Implications for Social Evolution in Apes (2008, positive): “Hence circumstantial evidence suggests that Khao Yai gibbon females may display a typical onset of reproduction whereas captive females may be accelerated in the onset of reproduction, as noted also in other captive primates (Altmann and Alberts 2005; Knott 2001; Masters and Markham 1991).”
Sexual selection in wild baboons: from mating opportunities to paternity success (2006, background): “Male baboons experience rapid growth during subadulthood (Altmann & Alberts 1987, 2005; Strum 1991; Johnson 2003; see also Shea 1990; Leigh 1992, 1995 for comparative data across primate species).”
Plasticity in Human Life History Strategy (2012, background): “For instance, baboons that self-provisioned off of trash dumps were found to weigh 50% more than wild-fed baboons (Altmann et al. 1993).”
A Low-Cost Manipulation of Food Resources Reduces Spatial Overlap Between Baboons (Papio ursinus) and Humans in Conflict (2011, background): “…(Asquith 1989), we advocate caution in experimenting with provisioning primates, owing largely to increases in body mass (olive baboons: Altmann and Alberts 2005; black bears: Partridge et al. 2001; red deer: Rodriguez-Hidalgo et al. 2010), fecundity (olive baboons: Warren et al. 2011;…”
