Description:
At maturity, female baboons in the Amboseli National Park of Kenya generally attain a rank position among adults near to that of their mothers. However, the age of a female's mother and the difference in ages between sisters also influence the rank acquisition process. These latter demographic variables, which are sensitive to changes in resource availability, may account for the close association both within and among primate species of specific patterns of rank organization and specific environmental conditions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hausfater, G -- Altmann, J -- Altmann, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Aug 20;217(4561):752-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17772319" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
