Identifying natural grouping structure in gelada baboons: A network approach

Abstract:

We use network analysis of co-herding and nearest-neighbour data for harems from several study populations to examine the natural grouping patterns of gelada baboons, Theropithecus gelada, a molecular fission-fusion primate species.
