Causal perception in Papio papio
In this study, we ask whether causal perception is present in a nonhuman primate: the Guinea baboon (Papio papio). We will attempt to train Guinea baboons to discriminate ‘Michottean’ causal from non-causal events. Furthermore, we will test whether it is

High Prevalence of Antibodies against the Bacterium Treponema pallidum in Senegalese Guinea Baboons (Papio papio). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The bacterium Treponema pallidum is known to cause syphilis (ssp. pallidum), yaws (ssp. pertenue), and endemic syphilis (ssp. endemicum) in humans.

Travel Routes and Spatial Abilities in Wild Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus) [PDF]
, 2012 The primary objective of this research was to give insight into the spatial cognitive abilities of chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) and to address the question whether chacma baboons internally represent spatial information of large-scale space in the form

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Utterance evolution: the road to generative, combinatorial communicators
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Language has long been considered uniquely complex in the animal kingdom; however, animal research over the last decade has begun to challenge some long‐standing premises about exactly which language capacities are uniquely human. The task of resolving why and how complex communication systems evolve, particularly human language, has ...

Familiarity and aggression shape long‐term associations and mortality risk in a solitary ungulate
Oikos, EarlyView.Periodic social interactions are important to animal fitness, even in solitary species. For solitary species, these interactions can be unexpected and shaped by previous encounters. Despite being aggressive and largely solitary, black rhinoceroses Diceros bicornis are commonly seen in groups, suggesting they may engage in more social behaviours than ...

Drivers of change in human–wildlife relationships: Southern Africa as an example
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Human–wildlife relationships (HWRs) are changing globally in response to shifts in ecological dynamics and societal values, often resulting in contestation. With an increasing need to enable human–wildlife coexistence, it is essential to better understand the drivers of change in HWRs.

Age Effects on Transfer Index Performance and Executive Control in Baboons (Papio papio)
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Reversal performance in the transfer index (TI) task is known to improve from prosimians to apes, suggesting that this task is a marker of cognitive evolution within the primate taxa (Rumbaugh, 1970).
