Analysis of sea almond ( Terminalia catappa ) cracking sites used by wild Burmese long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis aurea )
Nut-cracking is shared by all non-human primate taxa that are known to habitually use percussive stone tools in the wild: robust capuchins (Sapajus spp.), western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus), and Burmese long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis aurea). Despite opportunistically processing nuts, Burmese long-tailed macaques predominantly use stone tools to process mollusks in coastal environments. Here, we present the first comprehensive …
Technological Response of Wild Macaques (Macaca fascicularis) to Anthropogenic Change
Anthropogenic disturbances have a detrimental impact on the natural world; the vast expansion of palm oil monocultures is one of the most significant agricultural influences. Primates worldwide consequently have been affected by the loss of their natural ecosystems. Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascilularis) in Southern Thailand have, however, learned to exploit oil palm nuts using stone tools. Using camera traps, we captured the stone tool behav…
Complex processing of prickly pear cactus (Opuntia sp.) by free-ranging long-tailed macaques
Morphological characteristics and genetic diversity of Burmese long‐tailed Macaques ( Macaca fascicularis aurea )
Macaca fascicularis aurea (Mfa) is the only macaque which has been recorded to use stone tools to access encased foods. They live in close contact with M. fascicularis fascicularis (Mff) in southwestern Thailand and the hybrids were reported [Fooden, 1995]. Although Mff and Mfa can be seen in the same habitat types, tool-use behavior has never been reported in Mff. Thus, comparing the morphological characteristics and genetics between Mfa and Mff…
Stone tool transport by wild Burmese long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis aurea)
Archaeological excavation of wild macaque stone tools
Marine prey processed with stone tools by burmese long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis aurea ) in intertidal habitats
Long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ) feed opportunistically in many habitats. The Burmese subspecies ( M. f. aurea ) inhabits coastal areas in southwestern Thailand and Myanmar, and some of their populations have adapted lithic customs for processing encased foods in intertidal habitats. We investigated the diet of such macaques in Laemson National Park, Thailand, and identified the variety of foods they processed with stones. We conducte…
Sex differences in the stone tool‐use behavior of a wild population of burmese long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis aurea )
We investigated sex differences in how Burmese long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis aurea ) used stone tools to open shelled food items along the shores of two islands in Laemson National Park, Thailand. Over a 2‐week period in December 2009, we collected scan and focal samples on macaques when they were visible along the shores and mangroves. We found females used stones more often while feeding and used smaller tools than males. Females a…
Macaque–human interactions and the societal perceptions of macaques in Singapore
Humans and long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fasciculari s) interface in several locations in Singapore. We investigated six of these interface zones to assess the level of conflict between the two species. We observed macaque‐to‐human interactions and distributed questionnaires to residents and visitors of nature reserves. We observed an average of two macaque‐to‐human interactions per hour at the sites, which included affiliative or submissive beha…
The physical characteristics and usage patterns of stone axe and pounding hammers used by long‐tailed macaques in the Andaman Sea region of Thailand
Stone hammering in natural conditions has been extensively investigated in chimpanzees and bearded capuchins. In contrast, knowledge of stone tool use in wild Old World monkeys has been limited to anecdotal reports, despite having known for over 120 years that Macaca fascicularis aurea use stone tools to process shelled foods from intertidal zones on islands in the Andaman Sea. Our report is the first scientific investigation to look at the stone…
The trade balance of grooming and its coordination of reciprocation and tolerance in Indonesian long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis)
