Foraging for Survival - Yearling Baboons in Africa (Paperback)

This text presents the results of a research project carried out on
foraging behaviour among African baboons and its consequences for
survival and reproduction. Detailed data is provided on the feeding
habits of each baboon, with an analysis of its nutrient intake.
These figures are then compared with those in optimum diets. The
most striking result of this study is that the baboon's subsequent
survival and reproductive success could be accurately predicted
from what they had eaten as yearlings. The animals with energy
intakes closest to the optimum and protein intakes furthest above
their requirements were most likely to survive to adulthood and to
successfully produce offspring.
