Foraging benefits of winning intergroup encounters in colobus monkeys
Winners of aggressive intergroup encounters are often assumed to benefit from increased access to resources, but few studies have measured whether there is differential access to resources based on the intergroup outcome. To investigate whether winning intergroup encounters is associated with increased access to food, we used 13 months of data on intergroup dynamics, feeding by 61 females, and the phenology and spatial distributions of food trees…
MHC-DRB heterozygosity may increase subordinate but not alpha male siring success in white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus imitator)
Male Sexual Coercion During Mating and Infanticide Risk Increase Self-directed Behaviors in Female Black-and-White Colobus (Colobus vellerosus)
And Baby Makes Three
In group‐living primates, male investment in infants is highly variable. Previous research on polygynandrous primates found that male care of infants, whether direct or indirect, may be a means to increase offspring survival, increase social status, invest in future mating opportunities, and/or invest in future social or coalition partners, any of which may increase fitness outcomes. Relationships between male white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus imitat…
Social network dynamics, infant loss, and gut microbiota composition in female Colobus vellerosus during time periods with alpha male challenges
Non-Reproductive Sexual Behavior in Wild White-Thighed Colobus Monkeys (Colobus vellerosus)
Joint intergroup aggression in female colobus monkeys ( Colobus vellerosus ) is associated with grooming bonds, male participation, and group size
Cooperative home range defense is common in primates, despite a collective action problem that arises when group members benefit from winning the intergroup encounter regardless of whether they participate. The costs associated with this collective action problem may be mitigated by residing in small groups, residing with kin, or by forming strong bonds with group members. The potential to decouple the effects of these variables provided an oppor…
Divergence in gut microbial communities mirrors a social group fission event in a black‐and‐white colobus monkey ( Colobus vellerosus )
Host behavior and social factors have increasingly been implicated in structuring the composition of gut microbial communities. In social animals, distinct microbial communities characterize different social groups across a variety of taxa, although little longitudinal research has been conducted that demonstrates how this divergence occurs. Our study addresses this question by characterizing the gut microbial composition of an African Old World …
Infant mortality in white‐faced capuchins
Infanticide is common in the context of alpha male replacements (AMR), particularly in groups where alpha males experience high reproductive skew and the infants are unlikely to be related to a new alpha male. We examined the relationship between the rate of infant mortality, infant age, and the occurrence and type of AMR in white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus imitator) of the Santa Rosa population in Sector Santa Rosa, Área de Conserva…
The influence of male takeovers on female dispersal in Colobus vellerosus
Male takeovers affect male tenure, female mate choice and ultimately, individual reproductive success in group-living primates. In social systems with female philopatry and high male reproductive skew, male takeovers largely determine female mate choice, whereas in species with female dispersal, females have the option of deserting a new male. We focused on a species with facultative female dispersal to investigate which factors promote female de…
Hormonal correlates of life history characteristics in wild female Colobus vellerosus
Paternal kin recognition and infant care in white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus capucinus )
Evidence for paternal kin recognition and paternally biased behaviors is mixed among primates. We investigate whether infant handling behaviors exhibit paternal kin biases in wild white-faced capuchins monkeys (Cebus capucinus) by comparing interactions between infants and genetic sires, potential sires, siblings (full sibling, maternal, and paternal half-siblings) and unrelated handlers. We used a linear mixed model approach to analyze data coll…
Female parity, maternal kinship, infant age and sex influence natal attraction and infant handling in a wild colobine ( Colobus vellerosus )
Primate females often inspect, touch and groom others' infants (natal attraction) and they may hold and carry these infants in a manner resembling maternal care (infant handling). While natal attraction and infant handling occur in most wild colobines, little is known about the factors influencing the expression of these behaviors. We examined the effects of female parity, kinship, and dominance rank, as well as infant age and sex in wild Colobus…
Demographic Factors Are Associated with Intergroup Variation in the Grooming Networks of Female Colobus (Colobus vellerosus)
Kinship and similarity in residency status structure female social networks in black‐and‐white colobus monkeys (colobus vellerosus)
Kinship shapes female social networks in many primate populations in which females remain in their natal group to breed. In contrast, it is unclear to which extent kinship affects the social networks in populations with female dispersal. Female Colobus vellerosus show routine facultative dispersal (i.e., some females remain philopatric and others disperse). This dispersal pattern allowed us to evaluate if facultative dispersed females form social…
