“…This is also reflected in high levels of maternal permissiveness [Rosenblum & Kaufman, 19671 and male tolerance of infants [Brandt et al, 19701, low frequencies of agonistic encounters [Coe & Rosenblum, 1984;Hawkes, 1970;Jensen et al, 1980;Rahaman & Parthasarathy, 1969;Simonds, 19741, labile hierarchies [Silk et al, 1981;Shively et al, 19821 and interactions that are relatively independent of rank and kin relationships [Caine, 1980;Caine & Mitchell, 1979, 1980Glick, 1978Glick, , 1980Raney et al, 1981;Silk, 1982;Simonds, 1965;Sugiyama, 19711.…”

Behavioral and adrenocortical responses of rhesus (Macaca mulatta), bonnet (M. radiata), and crabeating (M. fascicularis) macaques were compared in their home cages, during exposure to novelty and during physical restraint. Both behavioral and adrenocortical responses differentiated species in each condition. In all conditions, post-test corticosteroid levels were highest for crabeaters and lowest for rhesus. Rhesus were the most active behaviorally, and bonnets were the most passive, while crabeaters exhibited the greatest signs of behavioral disturbance. Relationships between adrenocortical and behavioral responses varied between groups. Both adrenocortical and behavioral profiles were in accord with the behavior of these three species under more natural conditions. The role of psychophysiological responses in general behavioral dispositions toward the environment is discussed. It is concluded that behavioral dispositions, inclusive of psychophysiological responses, may vary qualitatively even among closely related primate species.

“…So far, among the 25 genera of Old World monkeys ( Cercopithecoidea ), apes, and humans ( Hominoidea ), there are eighteen genera where same‐sex mounting behavior has been observed, both in wild and captive groups (Poiani, ). Hindquarter presentation, ventro‐dorsal, and non‐copulatory mounting is a prominent form of same‐sex behavior in non‐human primates (Poiani, ), such as in Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata ; female–female mounts) (Vasey, Rains, VanderLaan, Duckworth, & Kovacovsky, ), rhesus macaques ( M. mulatta ) (Carpenter, ), stumptail macaques ( M. arctoides ; male–male mounts) (Chevalier‐Skolnikoff, ), bonnet macaques ( M. radiata ; female–female mounts) (Raney, Abernethy, & Rodman, ), hanuman langur ( Presbytis entellus ; female–female mounts) (Srivastava, Borries, & Sommer, ), and baboons ( Papio anubis ) (Owens, ). Pelvic thrusting and penile erections are commonly accompanied, however intromissions and ejaculations are unusual in male–male mounts (Sommer & Vasey, ).…”

Do same‐sex mounts function as dominance assertion in male golden snub‐nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana)?

It has been hypothesized that same-sex mounts can reflect the hierarchical relationship in a mounting dyad and it is widely deemed that mounting and being mounted are demonstrations of dominant and subordinate status, respectively. In this research, we aimed to test whether same-sex mounts function as dominance assertion in male golden snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana). We investigated this behavior in eight-individuals, captive all-male unit (AMU) in Shanghai wild animal park, China. Behavioral observations were conducted with a total of 1,855 mounts recorded from November, 2014 to June, 2015, during which the alpha male was replaced in the beginning of April. In support to the dominance assertion hypothesis, we found that during the entire study period the higher-ranking male was more likely to be the mounter than the lower-ranking one, except the mounts that happened among juveniles in peaceful and playful social contexts. Our study indicates that the hierarchical relationship of a mounting dyad can be influenced by the age-class of the participants and the social context where mounting occurs. We suggest that same-sex mounts might have different functions in different age groups and be multifunctional in a species.

“…Inter-1 Dedicated to Prof. Wolfgang Wicklcr. fering in an ongoing conflict implies the risk of becoming the object of aggression, which may explain why this strategy is usually de scribed in reference to the defense of personal interests, such as supporting a relative [Marsden, 1968;Kaplan, 1976;Massey, 1977;Kurland, 1977;Cheney, 1977;de Waal, 1977;Datta, 1983;Seyfarth and Chen ey, 1984;Bernstein and Ehardt, 1985], an associate [Moss, 1976;Kaplan, 1977;de Waal, 1984b;Seyfarth and Cheney, 1984;Strum, 1985], or a potential sex partner [Bernstein and Sharpe, 1966;Packer, 1977a;Datta, 1983]. Personal interest is also para mount when interference has the purpose of improving dominance status [Kawamura, 1967;Cheney, 1977;de Waal, 1978;Raney et al, 1981;Welker and Luhrmann, 1982;Silk, 1982;Nishida, 1983;de Waal, 1984a].…”

Altruistic Interference Shown by the Alpha-Female of a Captive Troop of Rhesus Monkeys

Interferences in aggressive disputes were recorded in a captive troop of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) comprising 19 mature females, 2 mature males and 12 immatures. The top ranking animal – the oldest female, Alpha, 23 years of age – was the only one who consistently interfered in favor of victims, never of aggressors. This protective, dispute-breaking strategy was distinguished by the following facts: (1) None of the supported monkeys shared genes with Alpha; (2) Alpha had no preference for aiding particular individuals; (3) Alpha’s high-risk interference (against aggressors) was never reciprocated; and (4) there was no evidence that Alpha’s strategy aimed at the improvement of dominance standing. It was concluded that Alpha’s behavior may represent an example of altruism.
