Body language: The interplay between positional behavior and gestural signaling in the genus Pan and its implications for language evolution
OBJECTIVES: The gestural repertoires of bonobos and chimpanzees are well documented, but the relationship between gestural signaling and positional behavior (i.e., body postures and locomotion) has yet to be explored. Given that one theory for language evolution attributes the emergence of increased gestural communication to habitual bipedality, this relationship is important to investigate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, we examined the i…

Cheek pouch use, predation risk, and feeding competition in blue monkeys ( Cercopithecus mitis stuhlmanni )
The adaptive function of cheek pouches in the primate subfamily Cercopithecinae remains unresolved. By analyzing the circumstances of cheek pouch use, we tested two hypotheses for the evolution of cercopithecine cheek pouches proposed in earlier studies: (1) cheek pouches reduce vulnerability to predation, and (2) cheek pouches increase feeding efficiency by reducing competition. We studied two groups of wild blue monkeys ( Cercopithecus mitis st…
