Baboons Decide Where to Go Together (4 of 4)

image: To capture the entire baboon troop, we ran as many as 22 cage traps simultaneously. We hand triggered the trap doors so as not to recapture any of the individuals we had already fit with a GPS-collars, and to ensure that we didn't separate mothers from their offspring. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the June 19, 2015 issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by A. Strandburg-Peshkin at Princeton University in Princeton, NJ, and colleagues was titled, "Shared decision-making drives collective movement in wild baboons." view more
