Rainfall is not a genus-wide predictor of mean body mass in baboon populations

A body mass/rainfall relationship in baboons, Papio, is often treated as a well‐established socioecological principle. This paper tests its reality in 29 populations representing five of six recognized phylogenetic baboon species. Contrary to previous findings from fewer cases, mean adult body mass...
