Flexible group cohesion and coordination, but robust leader-follower roles, in a wild social primate using urban space

Anna M. Bracken et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of urban environments on collective behavior in chacma baboons. It reveals that baboons exhibit typical collective behavior patterns in natural spaces, but show extreme flexibility in urban spaces, including changes in spatial cohesion, association networks, travel speeds, and group coordination. However, leader-follower roles remain consistent across natural and urban spaces, with adult males having a significant influence on group movement.

Collective close calling mediates group cohesion in foraging meerkats via spatially determined differences in call rates

Sabrina Engesser et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that foraging meerkats adjust their call rates of close calls based on their spatial position to group members, suggesting a mechanism of coordinating cohesion via close calling. Differences in individual close call rates are determined by a meerkat's proximity to other group members, assessed through vocal interactions. The study reveals an undocumented call mechanism.

Coordination during group departures and progressions in the tolerant multi-level society of wild Guinea baboons (Papio papio)

Davide Montanari et al.

Summary: In the collective movement of Guinea baboons, both adult males and females have a high success rate in initiating group departures, and bachelor males are often found at the front of the group during progressions. This pattern differs from other multi-level baboon species, where males typically dominate in initiating group departures.
