No Evidence of Reactive Avoidance of Baboons (Papio ursinus and Papio anubis) to the Presence of Predators [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Predators exert strong selective pressure on prey species, shaping their behavioral adaptations. Prey species use proactive responses, such as site selection and the adjustment of daily activity patterns to anticipate and avoid predation exposure.

Developmental instability in wild Nigerian olive baboons (Papio anubis) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Background Developmental instability in archaeological samples can be detected through analysis of skeletal and dental remains. During life, disruptions to biological internal homeostasis that occur during growth and development redirect bodily resources

Palmaris Longus in the Anubis Baboon (Papio anubis): A Conservative Single-Tendon Pattern with Rare Distal Bifurcation [PDF]

Biology
The palmaris longus (PL) remains insufficiently quantified in cercopithecoids (Cercopithecoidea), despite growing comparative data across primates. We examined adult archival material of the Anubis baboon (Papio anubis) to document PL presence, tendon ...

Clinical Management of Helicobacter Infection in Captive Baboons (Papio anubis and Papio hamadryas), and Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Three Novel Helicobacter Species. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Background Helicobacter spp. are gastric or enterohepatic bacteria that can be commensal, opportunistic, or pathogenic. Few studies have evaluated Helicobacter spp. in baboons. Methods Twenty‐seven captive baboons were surveyed for Helicobacter spp. by fecal PCR, and a subset evaluated by culture.

Broca's cerebral asymmetry reflects gestural communication's lateralisation in monkeys (Papio anubis) [PDF]

eLife, 2022
Manual gestures and speech recruit a common neural network, involving Broca’s area in the left hemisphere. Such speech-gesture integration gave rise to theories on the critical role of manual gesturing in the origin of language.

Metabolic Biomarkers in Captive Olive Baboons (Papio anubis): Characterization and Relationships With Biomarkers of Neurodegeneration and Neuroinflammation. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Metabolic biomarker scores predicted neurodegenerative and inflammatory biomarkers, as well as walking speed, in captive olive baboons. This demonstrates the links between metabolic dysfunction and neurodegeneration, and highlights the value of baboons as translational models for such studies.

Estrogen Deprivation During Primate (Papio anubis) Pregnancy: Impact on Systemic Microvascular Flow and Cardiovascular Development and Function After Birth in Offspring. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Background Suppressing estradiol (E2) during baboon pregnancy lowers offspring skeletal muscle capillary density, vital for insulin‐mediated glucose uptake, and induces insulin resistance. We examined whether E2 deprivation also impairs microvascular flow and cardiac function.

Pitted Keratolysis in an Olive Baboon (Papio anubis). [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACTPitted keratolysis, a dermatologic condition in humans, was diagnosed in an olive baboon (Papio anubis) via biopsy and responded well to topical treatment. In humans, pitted keratolysis is caused by the overgrowth of keratinolytic bacteria within the stratum corneum. This represents the first reported case in a nonhuman primate.

Maternal condition does not influence birth sex ratios in anubis baboons (Papio anubis). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Trivers and Willard predicted that when parental condition has differential effects on the fitness of male and female offspring, parents who are in good condition will bias investment toward the sex that benefits most from additional investment.
