For group-living animals traveling through heterogeneous landscapes, collective movement can be influenced by both habitat structure and social interactions. Yet research in collective behavior has largely neglected habitat influences on movement.

Monkey Meltdowns: Do Tantrums Influence Maternal Investment in Bearded Capuchin Monkeys?
ABSTRACT Tantrums are widely discussed in human development literature and are typically defined as displays of frustration or anger. In behavioral ecology, they are hypothesized to function as a strategy for securing greater maternal investment. Infant primates often exhibit tantrums when their attempts to obtain maternal care are rejected.

Supporting interventions to lessen human–wildlife conflict
Abstract Human–wildlife conflict (HWC) around protected areas endangers lives and damages livelihoods. It also erodes support for conservation. Yet most mitigation efforts fail to gain the sustained community support needed for long‐term success. We drew on 758 one‐to‐one semi‐structured interviews, supplemented by focus groups, practitioner interviews

Social complexity in a large and small group of olive baboons
Group size is known to correlate with various indices of brain size in the primates. The possibility that increases in group size foster social complexity forms the central empirical topic of this thesis.

Peptides and primate personality: Central and peripheral oxytocin and vasopressin levels and social behavior in two baboon species (Papio hamadryas and Papio anubis) [PDF]
The neurohormones oxytocin (OT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) are involved in social behaviors and psychiatric conditions. However, more research on nonhuman primates with complex social behaviors is needed.

Impact of Social Grooming on Age‐Related Immune Health in Captive Baboons
ABSTRACT Primate social behaviors are known to mitigate a number of negative psychological and physiological problems. Social connectedness in wild baboons can predict longevity and health, but the relationship between social grooming and physical health in captive baboons is less known.

Feeding, ranging and social organisation of the Guinea baboon
Before this study, the Guinea or Western baboon, Papio papio, was almost unknown in its natural environment. This thesis reports a nineteen-month field study of two troops of P. papio carried out in south-eastern Senegal.
