Just Gal Pals! The Differential Treatment of Sexual Behavior Among Nonhuman Great Apes
There is a tendency in primatology to separate out sexual and sociosexual behaviors, roughly along the lines of reproductive and non‐reproductive sexual behavior. Primatology perpetuates a heteronormative distinction that penetrative copulation between males and females has reproductive—but not social—value, while all sexual behaviors between same‐sex pairs must be motivated by a distant social goal. Here, we interrogate these assumptions, and po…
Best practices are never best
Who do we aim to educate with primate conservation education programs (PCEPs)? In a commentary published in a recent AJP, Annette Lanjouw suggested that many efforts to “educate” habitat‐country communities can be neocolonial in their approaches. Forest destruction and habitat loss are a result of global consumption and expansion. We therefore need to approach conservation education from many angles including local stakeholders, policy makers, go…
Narratives of Positionality in Primatology
What are friends for? The impact of friendship on communicative efficiency and cortisol response during collaborative problem solving among younger and older women
Conversation is a skilled activity that depends on cognitive and social processes, both of which develop through adulthood. We examined the effects of age and partner familiarity on communicative efficiency and cortisol reactivity. Younger and older women interacted with familiar or unfamiliar partners in a dyadic collaborative conversation task (N = 8 in each group). Regardless of age, referential expressions among familiar and unfamiliar partne…
Management of agricultural pesticide packaging in the Piauí Cerrado
The study aimed to analyze the role of actors in the reverse logistics chain of used pesticide packaging in the Cerrado of Piauí. To that end, interviews were conducted with representatives of chain agents in the four municipalities that most produce soy in Piauí. Representatives of the Receiving Centers of the Agricultural Defense Agency of Piauí, business agriculture and family farming participated in the research. It was found that, despite po…
From maternal tending to adolescent befriending
Attachment theory holds that parental relationships have lifelong effects on offspring social lives. The tend‐and‐befriend hypothesis posits that female friendships among humans evolved as part of a primate‐wide coping mechanism to mediate stress by relying on social support. Here we bridge developmental and evolutionary frameworks to examine adolescent girls’ perception of their reliance on female friendship for social support, how perceptions o…
Network analysis as a tool to understand social development in spider monkeys
The emerging field of network science has demonstrated that an individual's connectedness within their social network has cascading effects to other dimensions of life. Like humans, spider monkeys live in societies with high fission–fusion dynamics, and are remarkably social. Social network analysis (SNA) is a powerful tool for quantifying connections that may vary as a function of initiating or receiving social behaviors, which has been describe…
Comparative social grooming networks in captive chimpanzees and bonobos
Logística reversa de embalagens de agrotóxicos
O crescimento da populao mundial e os consequentes impactos tem motivado a busca pela eficincia na produtividade, mudando o cenrio no meio rural. O uso de agrotxicos para melhoria da produtividade tornou-se uma prtica comum nas unidades produtoras agrcolas
Female Spider Monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) Cope with Anthropogenic Disturbance Through Fission–Fusion Dynamics
Measuring stress responses in female Geoffroy's spider monkeys
Fecal glucocorticoid metabolites are increasingly used to investigate physiological stress. However, it is crucial for researchers to simultaneously investigate the effects of reproductive state because estradiol and placental hormones can affect circulating glucocorticoid concentrations. Reports on the relationships between glucocorticoids and reproductive state are inconsistent among females. Unlike several primate species that have heightened …
