Species: Papio cynocephalus
Taxonomic class: Mammalia
Population type: free-ranging
Geographical location: Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Data collection technique: focal sampling
Interaction type: spatial proximity
Definition of interaction: These networks were constructed based on nearest neighbour data collected during focal sampling.
Edge weight type: frequency
Total duration of data collection: 30days
Time resolution of data collection (within a day):
Time span of data collection (within a day): focal follow/ad libitum
Note: Networks represent grooming interaction or association between five social groups of baboons. Each network summarizes data collected within 30 days before and 90 days after each knockout. A natural knockout was considered to have occurred when a given alpha or beta male was present in the group for at least three months prior to his disappearance, and then he disappeared permanently from the group.
