AbstractObjectivesMost primate species live in groups, and temporal and spatial coordination of activities of individuals is essential for maintaining group cohesion, and there is still considerable debate to which degree social organization, the extent of despotism, and resource distribution shape group coordination processes. As different baboon species exhibit considerable variation in all of these factors, they constitute an excellent test case to resolve this debate.Materials and MethodsWe analyzed group departures and progressions of Guinea baboons, Papio papio, in the Niokolo Koba National Park in Senegal. Guinea baboons live in a multi-level society with strong male bonds and a lack of a clear dominance hierarchy between males.ResultsTwo-thirds of departures were initiated by adult males, and one third by adult females. Although initiators were more likely to signal than followers, signaling did not affect the initiation success. During group progression, males that were not affiliated with females were predominantly found in the front, while affiliated males, females and young were observed more frequently closer to the center of the group, and no preferences for rear positions. Overall, affiliated subjects were more likely to depart and travel together.DiscussionThe group departures in Guinea baboons differed strikingly from the elaborate ‘negotiation’ behaviors among male hamadryas baboons, Papio hamadryas. We did not observe that specific individuals dominated the group coordination. Neither social organization, variation in despotism, nor resource distribution alone explain variation between species. Future studies should test whether specific combinations of factors promote the occurrence of negotiation processes.Research HighlightsIn wild Guinea baboons, both adult males and females initiated group departuresInitiators signaled during departures, but this did not affect initiation successSolitary males were predominantly found at the front during group progression

Specific Identity

In some investigations on skin penetration by the filariform larvæ of Strongyloides (Goodey, 1925), the writer made use of larvæ cultivated from the droppings of a Guinea Baboon, Papio papio, which had died at the Gardens of the Zoological Society of London. Scrapings of the lining of the small intestine of this animal were made so as to secure the parasitic worms of which 25 specimens were obtained. A study of these was undertaken because von Linstow's (1905) original description of the species is so slender and his figures illustrating it are so crude that it was considered that the parasite would repay further investigation. Moreover one or two of his statements as, for example, that the cuticle of the parasite females is unstriated, required critical examination. Again in a recent paper Chandler (1925) has thrown doubt on the specific identity of S. fülleborni, suggesting that it is probably a hostal variety of S. papillosus. For these reasons the present paper has been prepared in that it gives a fuller account of S. fülleborni both in the parasitic and in the free-living generation than has hitherto been available. The writer considers that a detailed and well illustrated account of the morphology of S. papillosus, particularly of the free-living, sexual generation, is much needed at the present time.
