Joan B. Silk,Jacinta C. Beehner,Thore J. Bergman,Catherine Crockford,Anne L. Engh,Liza R. Moscovice,Roman M. Wittig,Robert M. Seyfarth,Dorothy L. Cheney +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that dominance rank and the quality of close social bonds have independent effects on the longevity of female chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus), and females who form stronger and more stable social bonds with other females live significantly longer than Females who form weaker and less stable relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

Joan B. Silk,Jacinta C. Beehner,Thore J. Bergman,Catherine Crockford,Anne L. Engh,Liza R. Moscovice,Roman M. Wittig,Robert M. Seyfarth,Dorothy L. Cheney +8 more
TL;DR: In a group of free-ranging baboons, Papio cynocephalus ursinus, the offspring of females who formed strong social bonds with other females lived significantly longer than the offspring who formed weaker social bonds, providing the first direct evidence that social relationships among female baboons convey fitness benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical Classification by Rank and Kinship in Baboons
TL;DR: It is shown that baboons recognize that a dominance hierarchy can be subdivided into family groups, and that the selective pressures imposed by complex societies may have favored cognitive skills that constitute an evolutionary precursor to some components of human cognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors Affecting Reproduction and Mortality Among Baboons in the Okavango Delta, Botswana
Dorothy L. Cheney,Robert M. Seyfarth,Julia Fischer,Jacinta C. Beehner,Thore J. Bergman,Sara E. Johnson,Dawn M. Kitchen,Ryne A. Palombit,Drew Rendall,Joan B. Silk +9 more
TL;DR: There were strong seasonal effects on birth and mortality, with the majority of conceptions occurring during the period of highest rainfall, and there were few rank-related differences in estimated female lifetime reproductive success.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavioural and hormonal responses to predation in female chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus).

TL;DR: While the death of a close relative was clearly stressful over the short term, females appeared to compensate for this loss by broadening and strengthening their grooming networks, and perhaps as a result, females' GC levels soon returned to baseline.
