Lifetime reproductive success, longevity, and reproductive life history of female yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus)of Mikumi National Park, Tanzania
The relationship between longevity and lifetime reproductive success (LRS) was studied in free-ranging female baboons of Mikumi National Park, Tanzania. A severe population decline occurred between the 12th and 20th years of the study. The total sample consisted of 72 females born and reaching adulthood before the start of the population decline. There were 27 females who were adult at the start of the study and 45 who became adult within the 12 …
Validity of an estimator of reproductive success
Lifetime reproductive success is a major component of individual fitness and a central dependent variable for the study of natural selection. For long-lived animals, such as apes or baboons, assessment of lifetime reproductive success requires observations of identified individuals in continuous, long-term studies from which it is difficult and often impossible to obtain an adequate sample of necessary reproductive and survival data. This situati…

Secondary sex ratio and maternal dominance rank among wild yellow baboons ( Papio cynocephalus ) of Mikumi National Park, Tanzania
The Trivers and Willard model predicts that offspring of dominant mothers will be biased toward males and offspring of subordinate mothers towards females, whereas a local‐resource‐competition hypothesis predicts the reverse. Available data bearing upon these alternative predictions are inconsistent. It has been suggested that the local‐resource‐competition hypothesis will predominate when resources are scarce, and the Trivers‐Willard hypothesis …
Plant feeding of yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus) in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania, and the relationship between seasonal feeding and immature survival

Eight‐year study of social and ecological correlates of mortality among immature baboons of Mikumi National Park, Tanzania
The Cox Proportional Hazards Regression Model was used to examine ecological and sociodemographic correlates of mortality among 164 immature yellow baboons born over an 8‐year period at Mikumi National Park, Tanzania. Ecological correlates were derived from seasonal rainfall. Mortality was lowest for immatures born during the late rainy season, when it was likely that nourishment for pregnant and lactating females was greatest. High mortality was…
Insect and meat eating among infant and adult baboons ( Papio cynocephalus ) of Mikumi National Park, Tanzania
It has been suggested that baboon predation upon vertebrates may tend to peak in the dry season because insect food is then less available, and that males obtain animal nutrients primarily from vertebrates whereas other troop members obtain them primarily from invertebrates. The development of meat and insect eating by 22 male and 24 female infants studied for 25 months was compared with that of 18 male and 46 female adults studied for 37 months.…
Weaning of free-ranging infant baboons (Papio cynocephalus) as indicated by one-zero and instantaneous sampling of feeding
The waning of dependence in infant free‐ranging yellow baboons ( Papio cynocephalus ) of Mikumi National Park
Development toward independence during the early years of baboon life is reflected in the infant's transition from riding on its mother to walking on its own during progressions from one location to another. This transition was studied during the first year of life in 55 infants from two differently sized troops living in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania. There was a nearly linear transition in the first year from almost 100% ventral riding to almo…
