Infanticide was observed for the first time in a wild troop of Japanese macaques. The infanticide was not consistent with the social pathology, cannibalism, resource defense, or offspring manipulation hypotheses, but was generally consistent with the sexual selection hypothesis. The infanticide took

Recent research on Morgan Island has found that approximately 10% of rhesus monkeys growing up in that free-ranging colony develop interaction patterns that consistently result in escalating bouts of aggression with members of their natal troop. This tendency, along with a marked deficit in their se
Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate whether or not non-human primates use perceptual concepts to categorize natural stimuli, such as other animals. These studies have presented evidence from squirrel monkeys, macaques, and capuchins for the use of concepts such as human, squirrel mon
Sulawesi could be called a Galapagos Island for the study of macaque speciation; with at least five species in an area about half that of California, this amounts to around 30% of macaque species in only 2% of the geographical range for the genus. There is also a very high number of other endemic ma
An experimental test of dominance was performed in wild golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia). A prized food item in a small container was placed in contention among group members. After group members approached the container, the individual that obtained the item and maintained it was consi
Long-term study of multiple social groups of capuchins by researchers at several sites has revealed an impressive diversity of behaviors, some of which may qualify as social traditions analogous to those that have been described for chimpanzees and Japanese macaques. This study describes some social
