Download or read book Strategies of Sex and Survival in Female Hamadryas Baboons written by Larissa Swedell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the first field study focusing on the behavior of hamadryas females in the wild. In its attempt to rectify the male-biased view of hamadryas baboon behavior that has persisted over the decades, this book suggests that female behavior contributes more to hamadryas social organization than has previously been assumed and that females may, in fact, be acting in their own best interests after all. For upper-level undergraduate courses on primate behavior and ecology.

Download or read book Following an Alternative Mating Strategy of Male Olive Baboons Papio Hamadryas Anubis written by Lisa Michelle Danish and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies revealing the limitations of the Priority of Access model suggest the evolutionary significance of alternative mating strategies. The olive baboon's (Papio hamadryas anubis) social system provide a valuable opportunity to examine a little studied alternative mating strategy- "following." The most well known mating strategy of male baboons is individual aggressive competition for a consortship, a temporary relationship between a male and fertile female (Bercovitch 1995). What is less often appreciated about this phenomenon, however, is that the consorting pair is typically shadowed by a retinue of "followers" that maintain proximity to the consort pair for extended periods of time. Despite qualitative observations in several primate species, we know virtually nothing about the functional significance of this common male behavior, although it has been proposed as an alternative mating strategy. My dissertation addresses the following three questions regarding the factors influencing the expression of alternative male mating strategies: (1) what are the fitness costs and benefits of alternative mating strategies for males?; (2) how does male condition impact the expression of alternative mating strategies?; and (3) do intersexual interactions influence these strategies? I examined these questions using behavioral data and genetic data collected on olive baboons during a 19 month field study in Laikipia District, Kenya. My research indicates that following is an alternative mating strategy and can be directly linked to deviation from the Priority of Access Model, as observed through both behavior and infant paternity. Followers do not experience costs related to activity budget or feeding bout length, although they do face an increased risk of injury due to involvement in agonistic interactions with the consort male and spend less time interacting with other individuals. Following particularly provides lower ranking males with more opportunities to mate as theoretically predicted, although higher ranking males also use this strategy, depending on the distribution of reproductive opportunities. Female choice and male coercion also influence the expression of following, indicating the importance of intersexual interactions. My dissertation expands our understanding of alternative mating strategies by incorporating a little studied and behaviorally flexible taxon, and has implications for models of social evolution and our understanding of human evolution.

This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world of categones devmd of spirit waits for life to return. Saul Bellow, Humboldt's Gift The stock-in-trade of communicating hypotheses about the historical path of evolution is a graphical representation called a phylogenetic tree. In most such graphics, pairs of branches diverge from other branches, successively marching across abstract time toward the present. To each branch is tied a tag with a name, a binominal symbol that functions as does the name given to an individual human being. On phylogenetic trees the names symbolize species. What exactly do these names signify? What kind of information is communicated when we claim to have knowledge of the following types? "Tetonius mathewzi was ancestral to Pseudotetonius ambiguus. " "The sample of fossils attributed to Homo habzlis is too variable to contain only one species. " "Interbreeding populations of savanna baboons all belong to Papio anubis. " "Hylobates lar and H. pileatus interbreed in zones of geographic overlap. " While there is nearly universal agreement that the notion of the speczes is fundamental to our understanding of how evolution works, there is a very wide range of opinion on the conceptual content and meaning of such particular statements regarding species. This is because, oddly enough, evolutionary biolo gists are quite far from agreement on what a species is, how it attains this status, and what role it plays in evolution over the long term.
