Life at the top: rank and stress in wild male baboonsLaurence R Gesquiere
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Science 333:357-60. 2011..In particular, alpha males exhibited much higher stress hormone levels than second-ranking (beta) males, suggesting that being at the very top may be more costly than previously thought...
Coming of age: steroid hormones of wild immature baboons (Papio cynocephalus)Laurence R Gesquiere
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
Am J Primatol 67:83-100. 2005..Further evaluation of the factors that affect hormone concentrations during the juvenile and adolescent periods should lead to a better understanding of mechanisms of life-history variability...
Mechanisms of sexual selection: sexual swellings and estrogen concentrations as fertility indicators and cues for male consort decisions in wild baboonsLaurence R Gesquiere
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Horm Behav 51:114-25. 2007..Alpha males are the least constrained in their mating behavior and can best take advantage of these cues to mate selectively...
Coping with a challenging environment: effects of seasonal variability and reproductive status on glucocorticoid concentrations of female baboons (Papio cynocephalus)Laurence R Gesquiere
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Horm Behav 54:410-6. 2008..This may be attributable to their extreme adaptability, specifically their diversified diet, and their ability to modify their behavior, including their activity profiles...
Endocrinology of year-round reproduction in a highly seasonal habitat: environmental variability in testosterone and glucocorticoids in baboon malesLaurence R Gesquiere
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA
Am J Phys Anthropol 144:169-76. 2011..The impact of the environment on male reproduction deserves more attention both in its own right and because alteration in male physiology may contribute to the reduction in female fertility observed inchallenging environments...

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA
Am J Primatol 64:95-106. 2004..They also document significant differences in hormone profiles among subgroups, and highlight that such normative subgroup information is essential for interpreting individual variability in hormone-behavior associations...
