| molecular identification of schistosoma mattheei from feces of kinda (papio cynocephalus kindae) and grayfoot baboons (papio ursinus griseipes) in zambia. | terminal-spined schistosoma sp. eggs were detected in several groups of baboons living in kafue national park in central zambia. a total of 166 fecal samples was screened; egg prevalence overall ranged between 7% and 10%, while infection intensities were low. formalin-fixed eggs had an average length of 144.5 microm and a breadth of 48.3 microm, but the schistosome species could not be unambiguously identified by size or morphology. we used molecular methods to definitively identify the parasite ... | 2010 | 19697970 |
| introgressive hybridization in southern african baboons shapes patterns of mtdna variation. | species, as main evolutionary units have long been considered to be morphological entities with limited hybridization potential. the occurrence of taxa which maintain morphological distinctness despite extensive hybridization is an interesting phenomenon. to understand the evolution of these taxa, descriptions of contemporary morphological and genetic variation are essential, also to reconstruct sound phylogenies. baboons, with their wide geographic range, variant morphotypes, and extensive hybr ... | 2010 | 19918986 |
| [growth of papio cynocephalus kindae from juvenile stage i to the adult stage]. | 23 papio cynocephalus have been divided into 3 age groups. for each individual 29 mesures of the body, of the head and the skull have been registered and the evolution studied. this permitted the study of the growth of papio cynocephalus from adolescence to adulthood. | 1975 | 819064 |

| cranial sexual dimorphism in the kinda baboon (papio hamadryas kindae). | the smallest extant member of genus papio, the kinda baboon exhibits low sexual dimorphism and a distinctive cranial shape. ontogenetic scaling accounts for most cranial-shape differences within papio, but studies have shown that the kinda follows a separate ontogenetic trajectory. if so, its cranial-dimorphism pattern should differ from other subspecies. to evaluate this hypothesis, morphometric analysis was used to investigate cranial dimorphism in papio. | 2017 | 28877335 |
| biogeographic variation in the baboon: dissecting the cline. | all species demonstrate intraspecific anatomical variation. while generalisations such as bergman's and allen's rules have attempted to explain the geographic structuring of variation with some success, recent work has demonstrated limited support for these in certain old world monkeys. this study extends this research to the baboon: a species that is widely distributed across sub-saharan africa and exhibits clinal variation across an environmentally disparate range. this study uses trend surfac ... | 2013 | 24028342 |
| cranial ontogeny of papio baboons (papio hamadryas). | cranial form in subspecies of papio baboons (papio hamadryas) varies in relation to size, geography, and sex. however, knowledge about this variation is based mainly on adults, precluding direct assessments of the evolutionary factors that are ultimately responsible for adult shape variation. consequently, this study tests hypotheses about the development of size and shape differences among subspecies of papio baboons, anticipating limited evolutionary divergences in the ontogenetic pathways lea ... | 2006 | 16345071 |
| male-driven grooming bouts in mixed-sex dyads of kinda baboons (papio kindae). | the behavior of the central african kinda baboon (papio kindae) is not well documented. having previously noted distinctive grooming behavior in several kinda baboon populations, we investigated the topic more systematically in the kafue national park, zambia. we recorded the duration and details of male-female dyadic interactions (approaches, withdrawals and time spent grooming) in the early morning and late afternoon. such interactions were more often initiated by the male and terminated by th ... | 2014 | 25012475 |
| kinda baboons (papio kindae) and grayfoot chacma baboons (p. ursinus griseipes) hybridize in the kafue river valley, zambia. | the ranges of small kinda (papio kindae) and much larger grayfooted chacma (p. ursinus griseipes) baboons adjoin in the kafue national park, zambia. in a visual survey of baboons at 48 sites in the kafue river drainage we found that, contrary to previous reports, groups at the species interface near the town of ngoma are phenotypically diverse and presumably formed by multigenerational hybridization. mitochondrial and/or y-chromosome genetic markers from fecal samples (n=164) collected at 29 sit ... | 2011 | 21274900 |
| a missing piece of the papio puzzle: gorongosa baboon phenostructure and intrageneric relationships. | most authors recognize six baboon species: hamadryas (papio hamadryas), guinea (papio papio), olive (papio anubis), yellow (papio cynocephalus), chacma (papio ursinus), and kinda (papio kindae). however, there is still debate regarding the taxonomic status, phylogenetic relationships, and the amount of gene flow occurring between species. here, we present ongoing research on baboon morphological diversity in gorongosa national park (gnp), located in central mozambique, south of the zambezi river ... | 2019 | 31010537 |
| alu insertion polymorphisms as evidence for population structure in baboons. | male dispersal from the natal group at or near maturity is a feature of most baboon (papio) species. it potentially has profound effects upon population structure and evolutionary processes, but dispersal, especially for unusually long distances, is not readily documented by direct field observation. in this pilot study, we investigate the possibility of retrieving baboon population structure in yellow (papio cynocephalus) and kinda (papio kindae) baboons from the distribution of variation in a ... | 2017 | 28957465 |
| sexual selection in the kinda baboon. | due to wide variation in the presence and degree of expression of a diverse suite of sexually-selected traits, the tribe papionini represents an outstanding model for understanding how variation in sexual selection pressures and mechanisms leads to trait evolution. here, we discuss the particular value of papio as a model genus for studies of sexual selection, emphasizing the presence of multiple mating systems, and differences in the expression of sexually-selected traits among closely-related ... | 2019 | 31421317 |
