This volume brings together current research on the behavior, ecology, reproduction, and life history of baboons of the genus Papio. Baboons represent one of the best-known primate lineages, renowned for their ecological and behavioral flexibility and adaptability. These characteristics are intimately intertwined with features of baboon life history and reproduction. Contributors to this volume, representing several major, long-term research projects from throughout the African continent, explore reproductive behavior and strategies of adult male and female baboons in a variety of ways. These lines of inquiry together forge new ways to investigate the life periods that matter most in evolution.
