Title
Styles of dominance and their endocrine correlates among wild olive baboons

Abstract
Dominance hierarchies are one of the primary social structures among most Cercopithecine primates and drive much of the social behaviour of these species. In stable hierarchies, dominant males consistently have lower basal concentrations of adrenal glucocorticoid cortisol, a stress steroid. This study focuses on how the variation in secretion of cortisol in olive baboons relates to social dominance compared to stylistic dominance behaviours.
