Evolutionary ecology, sexual conflict, and behavioral differentiation among baboon populations
A central assumption of baboon socio‐ecological models is that all populations have the
same capacity to react to different environments. The burden of our argument is that this …

Factors affecting individual participation in group-level aggression among non-human primates
Group members do not always act cohesively when facing extra-group rivals. When benefits
such as group-defence are not monopolizable, it poses an economics problem: who should …
