TL;DR
Pair-bonding in the genus Papio seems to be the result of fusion of troops as well as fission, and males who permanently maintain exclusive access to a few females may have an advantage over males who compete for all females who are in estrus.
Abstract
Pair-bonding in the genus Papio seems to be the result of fusion of troops as well as fission. When troop segments regularly split and join again, males who permanently maintain exclusive access to a few females may have an advantage over males who compete for all females who are in estrus. When two or more troops regularly fuse, this advantage may be greatly increased.

Animal BehaviourInter-troop transfer and inbreeding avoidance in Papio anubis
562 Citations1979Craig Packer
Migrations which were unlikely to be due to the avoidance of inbreeding were made by males with above average reproductive activity into troops with more oestrous females than the prior troop, and females showed a preference for transferred males over natal males, and for males who could not have been their father over males whocould have been.

360 Citations1975Glenn Hausfater
This monograph reports on a 14 month study of yellow baboons in the Masai-Amboseli Game Reserve, Kenya, an attempt to determine the relationship between agonistic dominance and reproductive success in male baboons and centered around testing a priority-of-access model of mating behavior.
Animal BehaviourMale dominance and reproductive activity in Papio anubis
326 Citations1979Craig Packer
The dominance relations of the sexually mature males residing in three troops of Papio anubis at Gombe National Park, Tanzania are examined and three tactics which males employed to increase temporarily their dominance against other males are discussed.
Folia PrimatologicaA Comparison of Anubis Baboons, Hamadryas Baboons and Their Hybrids at a Species Border in Ethiopia
235 Citations1973U. Nagel
During a 6-month field study at the Awash River, Ethiopia, more than 180 hybrid baboons in three groups were found in a zone of about 20 km between anubis groups and hamadry as groups, the genetical structure of the hybrid zone was preliminarily described using a simple morphological hybrid index.
Animal BehaviourModels of parent-offspring conflict. IV. Suppression: Evolutionary retaliation by the parent
219 Citations1979George A. Parker, M. R. Macnair
The present paper considers evolutionary retaliation by the parent for species where only one parent provides PI, and concludes that the probable evolutionary end product for most species will be the ‘pro rata’ ESS in which the parent supplies more PI than would be optimal in the absence of conflict, but less PI thanWould be an ESS for the offspring in the presence of parental retaliation.
ScienceInfant Carrying by Male Chacma Baboons
128 Citations1981Curt D. Busse, W. J. Hamilton
Male chacma baboons, Papio ursinus, carry their offspring during confrontations with higher ranking immigrant males, who are a threat to the infants' lives.
BehaviourSocial Relationships Among Adult Male and Female Baboons. I. Behaviour During Sexual Consortship
120 Citations1978Robert M. Seyfarth
Although rates of female-female aggression were not affected by the formation of sexual consortship, adult females were more likely both to ignore threats from higher-ranking individuals and to be supported by adult males during sexual Consortship than at other times.
BehaviourSocial Relationships Among Adult Male and Female Baboons. Ii. Behaviour Throughout the Female Reproductive Cycle
120 Citations1978Robert M. Seyfarth
Data suggest that male-female relationships are best understood not by examining sexual consortship alone but by considering sexual behaviour within the context of social interactions throughout all reproductive states.

To report factual information on ecology and behaviour of groups of chacma baboons ranging in an environment in which these animals have not hitherto been systematically studied, a network of informants is established in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Three freeliving one-male-units (OMU), each with two ♀♀ and several young were followed on the daily march and at the sleeping cliff, and the central-peripheral differentiation appeared to be stabilized by differences between the central and peripheral OMUs.

Lack of predation coupled with genetic isolation for several generations may have allowed the Suikerbosrand population to increase the efficiency of resource use in the less favorable seasons of the year, especially for less dominant individuals, through subtrooping.

In the desert, intertroop dominance was correlated with large troop size and the number of large males per troop, and in the swamp, where neighboring troops shared more stable troop boundaries, interTroop interactions were more frequent and their character less variable.

Transfer of individuals from one troop to another was easily accomplished by both males and females and probably negated the effects of differential range quality on individual reproductive fitness.
