Trade-off between fertility and predation risk drives a geometric sequence in the pattern of group sizes in baboons
Group-living offers both benefits (protection against predators, access to resources) and costs (increased ecological competition, the impact of group size on fertility). Here, we use cluster analysis to detect natural patternings in a comprehensive sample of baboon groups, and identify a geometric...
