Primate Aging, Health, and Social Relationships
The global rise in the number of elderly individuals in the human population, coupled with an epidemic of loneliness, emphasizes the need to understand the interaction between aging and sociality. Natural populations of nonhuman primates offer comparative models for studying this complex, bidirectional relationship. We first define aging, identify measures of aging, and emphasize that the pace of aging is heterogeneous across biological systems, …
Layers of latency in social networks and their implications for comparative analyses
Animal social systems are remarkably diverse. Linking this diversity to its ecological and evolutionary drivers and consequences has been a major focus of biological research. Initial efforts have been done within groups, populations, and species. Equipped with this information, researchers are now turning to investigations of social structure that are comparative in nature. However, comparing social networks remains a considerable logistical and…
Weak effects of common genetic variation in oxytocin and vasopressin receptor genes on rhesus macaque social behavior
The neuropeptides oxytocin (OT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) influence pair bonding, attachment, and sociality, as well as anxiety and stress responses in humans and other mammals. The effects of these peptides are mediated by genetic variability in their associated receptors, OXTR and the AVPR gene family. However, the role of these genes in regulating social behaviors in non-human primates is not well understood. To address this question, we …
Personality Traits in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) Are Heritable but Do Not Predict Reproductive Output
Applying Quantitative Genetic Methods to Primate Social Behavior
The Genetic Basis of Primate Behavior
Response of Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) to the Body of a Group Member That Died from a Fatal Attack
Social network analysis in the study of nonhuman primates
Advances over the last 15 years have made social network analysis (SNA) a powerful tool for the study of nonhuman primate social behavior. Although many SNA‐based techniques have been only very recently adopted in primatological research, others have been commonly used by primatologists for decades. The roots of SNA also stem from some of the same conceptual frameworks as the majority of nonhuman primate behavioral research. The rapid development…
Sexual Skin Color Contains Information About the Timing of the Fertile Phase in Free-ranging Macaca mulatta
Preliminary assessment of natal attraction and infant handling in wild Colobus vellerosus
This study describes natal attraction and infant handling in wild ursine colobus ( Colobus vellerosus ). Focal animal samples were collected from five infants of 1–16 weeks of age (mean: 14.5 focal hours per infant). Group members may be attracted to an infant, but unable to handle it because of resistance from the mother. We thus measured natal attraction independently from infant handling by the number of interactive approaches received. The yo…
