Effects of food distribution on foraging competition in rhesus monkeys, Macaca mulatta, and Papio hamadryas
Article Abstract:
An experiment exploring the effects of food distribution on foraging competition in rhesus monkeys, Macaca mulatta, and hamadryas baboons, Papio hamadryas, was conducted. Rhesus monkeys represent a female-bonded group and hamadryas baboons represent a non-female-bonded group. Results indicate that spatial and temporal conditions affect foraging competition in rhesus monkeys and only temporal conditions affected hamadryas baboons. Food storage was a strategy used by both species. Hamadryas baboons obtained more food, but rhesus monkeys had a more flexible foraging behavior.

The effect of new alpha males on females stress in free-ranging baboons
Article Abstract:
The effects of upheavals in the male hierarchy on the physiology of 18 females in a baboon group living in the Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana are assessed. Analysis of behavioural data indicated that elevated female faecal glucocorticoid concentrations were unrelated to male aggression towards females, female-female agression, or rates of female-female grooming.
