The Natural History of Model Organisms: Insights into the evolution of social s...
Fischer, Julia; Higham, James; Alberts, Susan; Barrett, Louise; Beehner, Jacinta C; Bergman, Thore J; Carter, Alecia; Collins, Anthony; Elton, SarahBaboons, members of the genus Papio, comprise six closely related species distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa and southwest Arabia. The species exhibit more ecological flexibility and a wider range of social systems than many other primates. This article summarizes our current knowledge of the natural history of baboons and highlights directions for future research. We suggest that baboons can serve as a ...
Disrupted dispersal and its genetic consequences: Comparing protected and threa...
Silva, Maria Joana Ferreira da; Kopp, Gisela H.; Casanova, Catarina; Godinho, Raquel; Minhós, Tânia; Sá, Rui; Zinner, Dietmar; Bruford, Michael W.Dispersal is a demographic process that can potentially counterbalance the negative impacts of anthropogenic habitat fragmentation. However, mechanisms of dispersal may become modified in populations living in human-dominated habitats. Here, we investigated dispersal in Guinea baboons (Papio papio) in areas with contrasting levels of anthropogenic fragmentation, as a case study. Using molecular data, we compare...
