Impact of anthropogenic factors on affiliative behaviors among bonnet macaques

Abstract: Objectives In primates, allogrooming and other affiliative behaviors confer many benefits and may be influenced by many socioecological factors. Of these, the impact of anthropogenic factors remain relatively understudied. Here we ask whether interactions with humans decreased macaques' affiliative behaviors by imposing time‐constraints, or increased these behaviors on account of more free‐/available‐time due to macaques' consumption of high‐energy human foods. Materials and methods In Southern India, we colle… Show more

“…spend less time engaging in social interactions, may also be forced to stay in the periphery, which may increase the time available to engage in more complex interactions with humans. This argument is supported by our detection of a weak but positive correlation between spatial position centrality and grooming social network centrality (Pearson's R: n = 319, r = 0.11, p = 0.05), and by our previous work that revealed an inverse effect of anthropogenic factors leading to a decrease in individuals' time spent grooming [42][43][44] .…”

“…Two were observed at a large Hindu temple frequented by tourists, and the other two in a recreational park on the outskirts of the city (for more details on the study site see 34 ). From July 2017 until May 2018, we studied two groups of bonnet macaques in the Thenmala Dam and Ecotourism Recreational Area (8.90 N, 77.10 E) located at the outskirts of the small town of Thenmala within the state of Kerala in Southern India (for more details on this study site see 44 ). More details related to the group sizes and compositions for all ten groups may be found in 34 .…”
