How Constitutions Constrain
All democratic constitutions aim to regulate the exercise of political power according to democratic norms of behavior, and all establish institutions to reflect these norms. Nonetheless, respect for constitutional rules on the part of political actors in third wave democracies has varied greatly. Why do constitutions constrain the behavior of political actors more effectively in some cases than in others? What impact does this variation have on …
Why Play by the Rules? Constitutionalism and Democratic Institutionalization in Ecuador and Uruguay
do some countries institutionalize democracy while others languish in an ambiguous grey zone or revert to authoritarianism? Traditional explanations stressing levels of socioeconomic development, cultural attributes or institutional differences are beset by anomalies. This article presents a model of democratic institutionalization that eliminates the problem of anomalies by shifting the analytic focus from particular conditions to the incentives…

Information content of female copulation calls in yellow baboons
In a wide variety of animal species, females produce vocalizations just before, during, or immediately after copulation. Observational and experimental evidence indicates that these copulation calls are sexually selected traits, functioning to promote competition between males for access to the calling female. In this paper, we present an acoustic analysis of variation in the form of copulation calls of female yellow baboons, Papio cynocephalus c…
Endocrine and developmental correlates of unilateral cryptorchidism in a wild baboon
A wild, group‐living 8.5‐year‐old adult baboon was found to have only a single palpable testicle, the only case of cryptorchidism found among more than 200 males that we have examined. This young adult had an unusually small body size for his age, one that was comparable to that of immature males two years younger, and during maturation his body mass was increasingly small for his age. As a young adult, he also had very low testosterone concentra…
