    Adulis and the transshipment of baboons during classical antiquity

    Franziska Grathwol, Christian Roos ... Gisela H Kopp
    The first sequenced mitogenome of a mummified non-human primate connects an Egyptian baboon dated to ca. 800–540 BCE to modern baboon populations in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and eastern Sudan, providing evidence for Egyptian–Adulite trade centuries earlier than current archaeological evidence.

    High social status males experience accelerated epigenetic aging in wild baboons

    Jordan A Anderson, Rachel A Johnston ... Jenny Tung
    Among the factors that predict fitness in wild baboons, dominance rank in males, but not in females, is the best predictor of epigenetic aging.

    The Natural History of Model Organisms: Insights into the evolution of social systems and species from baboon studies

    Julia Fischer, James P Higham ... Dietmar Zinner
    Wild baboons are an excellent model to study complex evolutionary processes such as speciation and hybridization, as well as the links between sociality, longevity and reproductive success.

    Social networks predict gut microbiome composition in wild baboons

    Jenny Tung, Luis B Barreiro ... Elizabeth A Archie
    Social interactions can have a direct effect on the composition of the gut microbiome in wild primates.

    Group size and composition influence collective movement in a highly social terrestrial bird

    Danai Papageorgiou, Damien Roger Farine
    High-resolution GPS data revealed a quadratic relationship between group size and movement, with vulturine guineafowl groups of intermediate size exhibiting the largest home-range size and greater variation in site use.

    The genetic architecture of gene expression levels in wild baboons

    Jenny Tung, Xiang Zhou ... Yoav Gilad
    RNA sequencing of individuals within a wild baboon population reveals extensive power to detect functional regulatory variation, and suggests that the set of genes affected by such variation may be conserved across species.
