Attention anyone using 2007 female rank data:

 

During construction of the 2008 female ranks, two errors in credit near the
end of 2007 were corrected; they affect female ranks as detailed below.

 

For Viola's group, Yogi's credit over Vinyl was revoked in November,
changing ALF female ranks for Yogi, Vinyl, and East and ADF ranks for Yogi
and Vinyl in November and December 2007.

 

For Weaver's group, a small error was found in October 2007 in which Lizzy
was wrongly placed over Wumba when other baboons in the vicinity were moving
- this was corrected, reversing their ALF ranks.  Then Wumba was demoted in
November, affecting ALF ranks for females ranked 17 to 26 (LIZ, LOM, LOX,
LIM, LYE, LUP, WEW, KOL, KEL, and WUM) in November and December 2007.  Since
Wumba was a juvenile in 2007, these changes do not affect ADF ranks.

 

2008 female ranks are complete and available in babase.
