Median group size decreased from 43 in 1964 to 27 in 1979. The largest and smallest groups declined the most; groups near the median have maintained fairly stable size and age distributions. The population seemed to have stabilized by 1983 at approximately 150 animals in six groups (median group size 28; density 2.2\/km<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>). Although baboon population and group size appeared to be stable during 1963\u20131964, the age distribution and demographic parameters (age\u2010specific mortality and natality for one social group) during that year indicate that the population decline had already started. The rate of population decline was greatest in the 1964\u20131969 period and remained appreciable during the next 5 years. The decline of the baboon population was paralleled by that of other Amboseli savannah woodland mammalian species and took place during a period of very high mortality of fever trees (<jats:italic>Acacia xanthophloea<\/jats:italic>) and extensive invasion of the area by halophytes, a transition brought on by rising ground water and consequent elevation of the soil salinity zone. In this and several other primate populations, mortality of infants and juveniles appears to be the demographic variable most sensitive to environmental change.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajp.1350080204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,12]],"date-time":"2005-06-12T02:36:06Z","timestamp":1118543766000},"page":"113-125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":82,"title":["Demography of Amboseli baboons, 1963\u20131983"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Jeanne","family":"Altmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Glenn","family":"Hausfater","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stuart A.","family":"Altmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Baboon Mothers and Infants","author":"Altmann J.","year":"1980"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.98844"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02383111"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajp.1350010404"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","first-page":"7","article-title":"The pregnancy sign in savannah baboons","volume":"6","author":"Altmann S.
