Roger Abrahams, author
No full textRoger Abrahams, director of the African and Afro-American Research Institute at the University of Texas-Austin and author of Positively Black, argues the case for ethnic diversity in this interview. He also discusses that the idea of "new ethnicity" is not restricted to black or brown America and he sees a widespread return to old mores inherent in the traditional ethnic value system.

Spatiotemporal Patterns of Sleeping Site Use of Guinea Baboon Parties ( Papio papio )
No full textABSTRACT Sleeping site selection in animals is thought to be influenced by multiple factors, including resource availability and competition, predation risk, thermoregulation and the risk of parasitic infection. While previous research has highlighted the importance of these factors, little is known about how they affect spatiotemporal patterns of sleeping site use among multiple groups of non‐territorial species with overlapping home ranges. Here, we investigated the sleeping site use of Guinea baboons ( Papio papio ) in Simenti, Senegal. We used locational data for 4 years of several baboon parties sharing the same range. We assessed the distribution of sleeping sites within the local habitat mosaic and patterns of sleeping site use of parties across time. We further investigated the proximity of sleeping sites of parties to those of co‐occurring parties and the impact of food availability and predator presence at the landscape level on the distance between parties' sleeping sites on the same night. In Simenti, Guinea baboons use trees exclusively as sleeping sites, and we found that the vast majority of sleeping sites were in the gallery forest along the perennial Gambia River, likely due to the availability of tall trees. Patterns of sleeping site use of individual parties in general showed no evidence of predator or parasite avoidance. Between parties, Guinea baboons slept in close spatial proximity (< 50 m) to at least one other party, regardless of food availability and predator presence. Thus, Guinea baboons in Simenti likely use the abundantly available sleeping sites opportunistically rather than being driven by intergroup competition or strategies for predator avoidance or reduction of the risk of parasite infection.Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft https://doi.org/10.13039/50110000165
Impact of food availability and predator presence on patterns of landscape partitioning among neighbouring Guinea baboon (Papio papio) parties
No full textAbstract Background Access to critical resources, including food, water, or shelter, significantly determines individual fitness. As these resources are limited in most habitats, animals may employ strategies of landscape partitioning to mitigate the impact of direct resource competition. Territoriality may be regarded as an aggressive form of landscape partitioning, but other forms of landscape partitioning exist in non-territorial species. Animals living in groups with greater flexibility in their association patterns, such as multilevel societies with fission–fusion dynamics, may adjust their grouping and space use patterns to short-term variations in ecological conditions such as food availability, predation pressure, or the presence of conspecific groups. This flexibility may allow them to balance the costs of competition while reaping the benefits of better predator detection and defence. Methods We explored patterns of landscape partitioning among neighbouring Guinea baboon (Papio papio) parties in the Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal. Guinea baboons live in a multilevel society in which parties predictably form higher-level associations (“gangs”). We used four years of locational data from individuals equipped with GPS collars to estimate annual home ranges, home range overlap, and average minimum distances between parties. We examined whether food availability and predator presence levels affected the cohesion between parties in 2022. Results We found substantial overlap in home range and core area among parties (33 to 100%). Food availability or predator presence did not affect the distance to the closest neighbouring party; the average minimum distance between parties was less than 100 m. Conclusions Our results suggest a low level of feeding competition between our study parties. Whether this is a general feature of Guinea baboons or particular to the situation in the Niokolo-Koba National Park remains to be investigated.Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 202
