The function and mechanisms underlying baboon 'contact' barks
Article Abstract:
Baboons, 'Papio cynocephalus ursinus,' make distinctive long distance barks to maintain contact after separation from other group members. Females probably interpret contact barks in association with separation or loss of contact with others. Furthermore, signallers are more likely to give a contact bark after they themselves have called. Females also seem to answer their close relatives' contact barks when separated from other females.

Recognition of other individuals' social relationships by female baboons
Article Abstract:
Female baboons recognize the screams and threat grunts of both their own close relatives and of unrelated baboons, according to research designed to test the hypothesis that monkeys recognize other monkeys' relationships and adapt their behaviour on the basis of recent interactions between their own relatives and the relatives of others. It also seems that females recognize the close associates of other monkeys and adapt their behaviour towards others on the basis of recent events involving monkeys other than themselves. There is still little information about the mechanisms that control the recognition of kinship relations.
