Susan C. Alberts and Jeanne Altmann: Proposal number 0322781(Altmann)/0322613(Alberts), Collaborative Research: Relationship among demographic, social and genetic structure. Behavior plays a pivotal role in survival and reproduction. Its immediate, short-term impact is in maintaining homeostasis and organismal integrity as behavior provides the individual with a mechanism of rapid and flexible response to changes in its internal and external environments. Even more profound is behavior's long-term impact on the lives of individuals and on the evolutionary trajectories of populations. The main long-term objective of the investigators is to develop a comprehensive picture of how behavior shapes fitness outcomes and population processes in one population of wild mammals - the savanna baboons of the Amboseli basin in east Africa. The proposed work not only will accomplish important short-term goals but will reach overtly toward the long-term ones as well.The overall conceptual framework is an integrative socioecology that is sensitive to the intrinsic interdependencies among behavior, physiology, genetic structure, and demography. During the next three years, the research will (1) probe more deeply into the function and lifetime development of relationships through individuals' paternal as well as maternal lineage and (2) continue to delineate sources of lifetime fitness differences for both sexes. This will be accomplished by testing eight explicit predictions derived from three hypotheses. For females, these relate to the impact of social status and of paternal and maternal relatives on fitness. For males they address the relationship between mating success and paternity success, the role of male mate choice in paternity success, and the direct behavioral contributions that males make to the survival of their offspring. Genetic and physiological analyses are based on non-invasive biological sampling and associated assay and genotyping techniques, the development and refinement of which have been a cornerstone of these research groups.

苏珊·艾伯特（Susan C. 行为在生存和繁殖中起关键作用。它的直接，短期影响是维持稳态和有机体完整性，因为行为为个人提供了对内部和外部环境变化的快速和灵活响应的机制。更深刻的是行为对个人生活和人口进化轨迹的长期影响。研究人员的主要长期目标是全面了解一个野生哺乳动物人群的适应性结果和人口过程 - 东非的Amboseli盆地的Savanna Baboons。拟议的工作不仅可以实现重要的短期目标，而且还将公开实现长期目标。整体概念框架是一种综合社会生态学，对行为，生理学，遗传结构和人口统计学之间的内在相互依赖性敏感。在接下来的三年中，（1）将（1）更深入地探讨通过个人的父亲和母亲血统的关系的功能和终生发展，（2）继续描述两性的终身健身差异来源。 这将通过测试从三个假设得出的八个明确预测来实现。 对于女性，这些与社会地位以及父亲和母亲亲戚对健身的影响有关。 对于男性，他们解决了交配成功与陪产边成功之间的关系，男性伴侣选择在亲子关系成功中的作用以及男性对后代生存的直接行为贡献。 遗传和生理分析基于非侵入性生物学采样以及相关的测定和基因分型技术，其发展和完善是这些研究组的基石。
