To disentangle how motivational disposition, the processing of social information, and the costs and benefits of putative outcomes of interactions affect signalling behaviour, we investigated the usage and function of grunts during approaches in wild Guinea baboons, Papio papio. Guinea baboons live in a tolerant multilevel society with female-biased dispersal, which allowed us to compare their grunt usage to that of other more despotic baboon species. We analysed approaches by female and male Guinea baboons living in the Niokolo Koba National Park, Senegal. When approaching baboons grunted, they were more likely to interact in an affiliative fashion and less likely to displace the partner. In females, the probability of grunting was higher when the relationship strength was low, but only when an infant was present. In males, relationship strength had no impact on the likelihood of grunting during approaches. Rank did not explain variation in grunt probability in females and could not be discerned in males, but males were also more likely to grunt when an infant was near a female partner. We suggest that grunt usage in baboons can be best conceived as a combination of a motivational and a strategic component. The motivational component expresses the increased disposition to interact in an affiliative fashion, while the strategic component refers to the modulation of grunt usage with regard to relationship quality and context. The motivational component appears to be shared between baboon species, while variation in despotism and social organization places different premiums on the benefits of signalling, resulting in variation in grunting patterns between species."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.anbehav.2019.05.003"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/64864"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","0003-3472"],["dc.title","How life in a tolerant society affects the usage of grunts: evidence from female and male Guinea baboons"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

While ritualized greetings are widespread in the animal kingdom, the behavioral repertoire described in the genus Papio is exceptional, as it involves potentially harmful behaviors such as genital fondling. Although greetings are one of the most striking male social interactions in baboons, their function is still disputed. We investigated the function of male–male ritualized greeting behavior in wild Guinea baboons. This species lives in multilevel societies where several ‘units’ comprising a primary male, females with young, and occasionally a secondary male form a ‘party’, and two to three parties form a gang. Adult males maintain affiliative relationships with preferred male partners whom they support in coalitions, regardless of kinship. We examined the social behavior of 24 adolescent and adult males (∼900 h focal observations) in the Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal, to test whether greetings reflect relationship quality or function to buffer tension. Greetings were ten times more frequent than aggression and twice as frequent as affiliation. Neither dyadic aggression nor tense context predicted greeting rate, discounting the buffering hypothesis. Greetings occurred almost exclusively between males of the same party, even when other parties were around. Within parties, spatially tolerant partners greeted more frequently but dyads did not greet due to proximity prior to the greeting. Although affiliation did not predict overall greeting rate, intense and potentially costly greetings were more likely between males with stronger affiliative relationships. Greetings in Guinea baboons appear to signal commitment among party members, test relationships among spatially tolerant partners, and accentuate relationship strength among highly affiliated males. Although ritualized baboon greetings lack the symbolic component of human rituals, they appear to serve similar functions, specifically to strengthen in-group affiliation and promote cooperation."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.jhevol.2018.10.007"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/62157"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.issn","0047-2484"],["dc.title","Greetings in male Guinea baboons and the function of rituals in complex social groups"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Although baboons have been prominently featured in this context, historically little was known about the westernmost member of the genus, the Guinea baboon (Papio papio). Material and Methods:Here, we summarize the findings from the first years of observations at the field site CRP Simenti in the Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal. Results: Guinea baboons reveal a nested multi-level social organization, with reproductive units comprising one “primary” male, one to several females, young, and occasionally “secondary” males at the base of the society. Three to five units form “parties,” which team up with other parties to form a “gang.” Different gangs have largely overlapping home ranges and agonistic interactions between different parties or gangs are rare. Some but not all strongly socially bonded males are highly related, and population genetic and behavioral evidence indicate female-biased dispersal. Females play an important role in intersexual bond formation and maintenance, and female tenure length varies between a few weeks to several years. Discussion: While the social organization resembles that of hamadryas baboons (P. hamadryas), the social structure differs considerably, specifically in terms of low male aggressiveness and female freedom. Despite substantial differences in social organization and social structure, the acoustic structure of Guinea baboon vocalizations does not differ substantially from that of other baboon taxa. With its multi-level organization, stable bonds between males and females, as well as a high-degree of male-male cooperation and tolerance, Guinea baboons constitute an intriguing model for reconstructing human social evolution."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1002/ajpa.23144"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150636"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7415"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0002-9483"],["dc.title","Charting the neglected West: The social system of Guinea baboons"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

This species lives in a tolerant multi-level society with reproductive units comprising a male and 1–6 females at the core. Males are philopatric, form differentiated, stable and equitable affiliative relationships (strong bonds) with other males, and lack a clear rank hierarchy.

Strongly bonded males supported each other more frequently during conflicts, but strong bonds did not promote reproductive success. Instead, males that spent less time socializing with other males were associated with a higher number of females and sired more offspring. Notably, reproductively active males still maintained bonds with other males, but adjusted their social investment in relation to life-history stage.

We investigated whether the acoustic structure of grunts of 30 male baboons of five gangs differed in relation to social level and genetic relatedness. Males in this species are philopatric, resulting in increased male relatedness within gangs and parties. Grunts from members of the same gang were more similar to each other than across gangs (N = 435 dyads), but for parties within gangs we found no evidence for higher similarity (N = 169 dyads).
