This study investigates whether sexual receptivity duration in wild chacma baboons correlates with social environment changes, finding no support for the hypothesis but a negative correlation between swelling duration and group size.

The study shows that cultural behaviors can spread in wild baboon groups despite constraints on social information transmission at individual, dyad, and group levels.

This study identifies reproductive competition as a key factor driving non-seasonal breeding in chacma baboons, showing how social dynamics influence reproductive timing and population-level seasonality.

The paper examines reproductive trade-offs in wild chacma baboons by analyzing birth timing effects on offspring survival and maternal interbirth intervals, revealing an adaptive conflict between current and future reproduction.
