Older adults looking at dog pictures - psychobiological effects
In memory of our mentor
The world lost a towering figure when primatologist Frans de Waal passed away on March 14, 2024. Many are aware of his multitude of contributions to the field. His ability to see what animals were actually doing changed how we viewed first primates, then other species. He shared these insights through both traditional scientific outputs, such as journal articles and scientific presentations, and less common outputs, such as 15 books and two TED t…
Social tension after grooming in wild Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata yakui) is sex specific and sensitive to social relationships
Changes in the rate of self‐directed behavior—a proxy for social tension—offer valuable insights into individuals' experiences of social interactions. Many studies have tested the tension‐reduction hypothesis, whereby grooming is expected to reduce social tension in the grooming partners. However, it is still unclear whether responses to grooming are affected by social factors such as an individual's role or social relationship with their partner…
Comparative Perspectives of Empathy Development
Empathy—the sharing and understanding of others’ emotions and thoughts—is considered a defining feature of what it means to be human. Although empathy underpins many of our social interactions and is thought to be evolutionarily ancient, its origins remain relatively obscure. Here, this chapter presents research investigating socioemotional development in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (P. paniscus), to id…
The Habituation Process in Two Groups of Wild Moor Macaques (Macaca maura)
When studying animal behavior in the wild, some behaviors may require observation from a relatively short distance. In these cases, habituation is commonly used to ensure that animals do not perceive researchers as a direct threat and do not alter their behavior in their presence. However, habituation can have significant effects on the welfare and conservation of the animals. Studying how nonhuman primates react to the process of habituation can…
Reaction to Snakes in Wild Moor Macaques (Macaca maura)
Snake predation is considered an important evolutionary force for primates. Yet, very few studies have documented encounters between primates and snakes in the wild. Here, we provide a preliminary account of how wild moor macaques ( Macaca maura ) respond to seven species of real and model snakes. Snakes could be local and dangerous to the macaques (i.e., venomous or constricting), local and nondangerous, and novel and dangerous. Macaques reacted…
Reconciliation
Third‐party postconflict affiliation of aggressors in chimpanzees
Postconflict management strategies have been defined as any postconflict interaction that mitigates the negative consequences of the preceding agonistic conflict. Although most studies have investigated postconflict interactions between former opponents or between victims and uninvolved bystanders, interactions between aggressors and bystanders have received much less attention. In this study, we examined a database of 1,102 agonistic interaction…
Testing the function of reconciliation and third‐party affiliation for aggressors in hamadryas baboons ( Papio hamadryas hamadryas )
In social groups, agonistic conflicts can have different negative consequences. Several post‐conflict interactions have been suggested as post‐conflict management behaviors to mitigate those negative effects. In this study, we investigated the function of two post‐conflict behaviors—reconciliation and aggressor‐initiated third‐party affiliation—on the aggressor's levels of post‐conflict anxiety and aggression in a large colony of hamadryas baboon…
