Abstract

Seven small groups of vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops aethiops), totaling 124 individuals, from Awash National Park, Ethiopia, were trapped and blood samples were obtained. Twenty‐three loci were examined by starch gel electrophoresis and four loci, Tf, E, ADA, and PMG2 were found to be polymorphic. The average heterozygosity (HΜ„) of the population was calculated to be 5.6%. No significant deviations from Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium proportions occurred and a chi‐square test for group homogeneity was also not significant. Average F~ST~ for all polymorphic loci was calculated to be 0.062. This suggests that the entire group functions as a single Mendelian population.

## Abstract Status hierarchies were examined in a captive group over a 12‐year period (1968–1979) to establish the stability and structure of vervet monkey dominance relationships. Dyadic records of spontaneous __avoid__, __bite__, __chase__, and __supplant__ behaviors are summarized into a win/los
