<p class=MsoNormal>Attention anyone using 2007 female rank data:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For Viola’s group, Yogi’s credit over Vinyl was
revoked in November, changing ALF female ranks for Yogi, Vinyl, and East and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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2008 female ranks are complete and available in babase.<o:p></o:p></p>
