Primates and elephants in East Asia: From Neolithic to rural depopulation
Activity and social factors affect cohesion among individuals in female Japanese macaques: A simultaneous focal‐follow study
Understanding cohesion among individuals within a group is necessary to reveal the social system of group-living primates. Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) are female-philopatric primates that reside in social groups. We investigated whether individual activity and social factors can affect spatio-temporal cohesion in wild female Japanese macaques. We conducted behavioral observation on a group, which contained 38 individuals and ranged over ca…

Topographic effects on spatial data at a Japanese macaque study site
In mountainous topography, actual travel distances and home range areas are larger than those measured on a flat map. This paper analyzed the increase in spatial measures that occurred when topography was taken into account for data collected at a mountainous study site of the Japanese macaque. Both travel distances and home range areas increased when measured on a computerized terrain model compared to those measured on a flat map. The travel di…

Male life history in natural populations of Japanese macaques: Migration, dominance rank, and troop participation of males in two habitats
Age, dominance rank, natal status, and tenure among male macaques
Age and rank are often related among males in multi-male groups of macaques. However, recent studies have not consistently reported that age and rank are correlated. This paper reviews studies providing data on at least age and rank for each individual in the sample to investigate how the demographic composition of data samples can affect whether statistical analysis finds significant correlations between age and rank. I reanalyzed data on the ag…
