- Across taxa, adverse early-life environments such as drought and psychosocial stress are associated with reduced growth and smaller body size in adulthood. However, in wild primates, we know very little about whether and to what extent individuals grow plastically in response to adverse early-life environments. Here, we use parallel-laser photogrammetry to assess inter-individual predictors of body size in a population of wild female baboons studied since birth. Using over 2,000 measurements of 127 females, we present the first cross-sectional growth curve of wild female baboons from juvenescence through adulthood. We then tested whether females exposed to three main sources of early-life adversity - drought, maternal loss, ... [Read More]
