Description: Foraging for Survival : Yearling Baboons in Africa, Hardcover by Altmann, Stuart A., ISBN 0226015955, ISBN-13 9780226015958, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In his third book on primates, Altmann (ecology and evolution, U. of Chicago) reports on his field observations of 11 yearling baboons. He provides details of the types of food and how much each ate, and the chemical analysis of the foods to identify differences in nutrient intake. He then statistically compares the actual data with ideal figures determined by a general model of optimal diets. Among his conclusions is that the yearlings whose energy intake is closest to the optimum and protein intake furthest above their requirements are most likely to survive to adulthood and produce offspring that survive.
