Strong and Consistent Social Bonds Enhance the Longevity of Female Baboons
- J. Silk, J. Beehner, +6 authors D. Cheney

- Current Biology
- 10 August 2010
Longevity is a major component of variation in fitness in long-lived iteroparous species [1-4]. Among female baboons, variation in breeding lifespan accounts for approximately 50% of the variation in… Expand
The benefits of social capital: close social bonds among female baboons enhance offspring survival

Sociality has evolved in many animal taxa, but primates are unusual because they establish highly differentiated bonds with other group members. Such bonds are particularly pronounced among females… Expand
Female chacma baboons form strong, equitable, and enduring social bonds

- Biology
- Animal Behaviour
- 1 May 2010
In chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus), adult males and lactating females form preferential associations, or ‘friendships’, that provide protection against potentially infanticidal attacks.… Expand
Gastrointestinal parasites of the chimpanzee population introduced onto Rubondo Island National Park, Tanzania
- K. Petrželková, H. Hasegawa, +6 authors T. Kaur
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of primatology
- 14 December 2009
The release of any species into a novel environment can evoke transmission of parasites that do not normally parasitize the host as well as potentially introducing new parasites into the environment.… Expand
Peripheral oxytocin in female baboons relates to estrous state and maintenance of sexual consortships
- L. R. Moscovice, T. Ziegler
- Biology, Medicine
- Hormones and Behavior
- 1 November 2012
The neuro-hypophysial hormone oxytocin (OT) has been implicated in female reproductive and maternal behaviors and in the formation of pair bonds in monogamous species. Here we measure variation in… Expand

- Psychology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 10 May 2010
The apparent rarity of contingent cooperation in animals has convinced many investigators that such reciprocity is unimportant, stimulating consideration of alternative explanations for cooperation,… Expand
