Female dominance rank may mitigate these effects, if competitive exclusion allows high-ranking females to gain priority of access to critical food resources. It may also exacerbate them, if low-ranking females are forced to feed or rest in marginal habitats where they are at increased risk. In this chapter, we present data on reproduction, mortality, and female reproductive success from a 10-year study of free-ranging chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus) in the Okavango Delta of Botswana and examine the influence of predation, infanticide, and dominance rank on female reproductive success. Predation appeared to be the cause of most deaths among adult females and juveniles, whereas infanticide was the most likely cause of deaths among infants. Seasonality strongly affected both births and mortality: The majority of conceptions occurred during the period of highest rainfall. Mortality due to predation and infanticide was highest during the 3-month period when flooding was at its peak, most likely because the group was more constrained to move along predictable routes during this time. Those reproductive parameters most likely to be associated with superior competitive ability-interbirth interval and infant growth rates-conferred a slight fitness advantage on high-ranking females. This fitness advantage was counterbalanced, however, by the effects of infanticide and predation. Infanticide affected high- and low-ranking females more than middle-ranking females, while predation affected females of all ranks relatively equally. As a result, there were few rank-related differences in estimated female lifetime reproductive success."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/978-0-387-33674-9_7"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12962"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","GRO-Li-Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.publisher.place","Boston, MA"],["dc.relation.crisseries","Developments in Primatology"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1007/978-0-387-33674-9_7"],["dc.relation.eisbn","978-0-387-33674-9"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-0-387-30688-9"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-0-387-33674-9"],["dc.relation.ispartof","Reproduction and Fitness in Baboons: Behavioral, Ecological, and Life History Perspectives"],["dc.relation.ispartofseries","Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects"],["dc.title","Reproduction, Mortality, and Female Reproductive Success in Chacma Baboons of the Okavango Delta, Botswana"],["dc.type","book_chapter"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

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 valuable model for complex evolutionary processes, such as speciation and hybridization. The evolution of baboons has been heavily shaped by climatic changes and population expansion and fragmentation in the African savanna environment, similar to the processes that acted during human evolution. With accumulating long-term data, and new data from previously understudied species, baboons are ideally suited for investigating the links between sociality, health, longevity and reproductive success. To achieve these aims, we propose a closer integration of studies at the proximate level, including functional genomics, with behavioral and ecological studies."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.7554/eLife.50989"],["dc.identifier.eissn","2050-084X"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31711570"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16961"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/79034"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","2050-084X"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Insights into the evolution of social systems and species from baboon studies"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Animals’ responses to the calls of different individuals, to food calls, alarm calls, and to signals that predict behaviour, all suggest that recipients acquire information from signals and that this information affects their response. Some scientists, however, want to replace the concept of information with one based on the ‘manipulation’ of recipients by signallers through the induction of nervous-system responses. Here we review both theory and data that argue against hypotheses based exclusively on manipulation or on a fixed, obligatory link between a signal’s physical features and the responses it elicits. Results from dozens of studies indicate that calls with ‘arousing’ or ‘aversive’ features may also contain information that affects receivers’ responses; that acoustically similar calls can elicit different responses; acoustically different calls can elicit similar responses; and ‘eavesdropping’ animals respond to the relationship instantiated by signal sequences. Animal signals encode a surprisingly rich amount of information. The content of this information can be studied scientifically."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.anbehav.2010.04.012"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150672"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7455"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0003-3472"],["dc.subject","animal communication; animal signal; information; information transmission; language; meaning"],["dc.title","The central importance of information in studies of animal communication"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
