“…Their suppressed ovarian cycles have been attributed to the behavioral and pheromonal cues they receive from their dominant mothers, and are reversed within days when they are released from these cues and paired with novel males (Ziegler et al, 1987;Abbott et al, 1993). In the wild, however, it is not uncommon for subordinant female cotton-top tamarins to conceive (Savage et al, 1997), or for subordinate female common marmosets to give birth (Digby and Ferrari, 1994). The reproductive success of subordinate females in these species may still be lower than that of the dominant females in their groups due to higher rates of reproductive failure, direct aggression, or access to fewer helpers, but they do not always experience the reproductive inhibition that has come to characterize conspecific populations that live in the closer confines of captivity.…”

The growth of primate field studies has occurred along multiple dimensions representing expansion in the number of species studied, comparative studies of different populations of the same species, and populations and groups studied over time. The accumulation of data on a broader taxonomic diversity of primates has contributed to advances in the use of comparative methods for gaining insights into interspecific variation in behavior patterns, but the incorporation of intraspecific variation into comparative models of behavior has lagged behind. This delay can be attributed, in part, to the slow rate at which the interacting effects of life history and demography on behavior emerge in slow-growing, longlived primates. It may also reflect the anthropocentric foundation of field primatology, which historically focused on interspecific comparisons with humans instead of interpopulation variation among primates. Conservation concerns have stimulated new thinking about the importance of populations and the range of behavioral variation that populations maintain. The integration of intra-and interspecific behavioral variation will distinguish the next generation of comparative models in primatology, and set a new agenda as field primatology comes of age.

“…For instance, endocrine profiles permit a more reliable assessment of the reproductive significance of mating systems in species that have no obvious cues of ovulation or are sexually active during the extended period beyond ovulation time [Brockman & Whitten, 1996;Brockman et al, 1995;Clarke et al, 1991;Strier & Ziegler, 1994Ziegler et al, 1997]. Moreover, monitoring of pregnancy can provide insight into reproductive constraints imposed by ecological and social settings [Brockman & Whitten, 1996;Savage et al, 1997;Ziegler et al, 2000].…”

We measured the concentration of steroid hormones from urine, feces, and blood samples of two captive Japanese macaques, Macaca fuscata, during nonconceptive ovarian cycles to compare the patterns of the excreted steroids with those of circulating steroids. Urine and feces were analyzed for estrone conjugates (E1C) and pregnanediol-3-glucronide (PdG) using enzyme immunoassays (EIAs), while plasma was analyzed for estradiol-17beta(E2), progesterone (P), and luteinizing hormone (LH) using radioimmunoassays (RIAs). Urinary and fecal E1C and PdG levels were approximately parallel to plasma E2 and P levels, respectively. The E1C profiles of daily urinary and fecal samples revealed a midcycle peak, followed by a sustained PdG increase lasting up to two weeks from the E1C peak. A fecal E1C peak was one day later than the urinary E1C peak. One of the captive females exhibited a discrete plasma LH peak, one indicator that ovulation has occurred, on the day following the urinary E1C peak, i.e., the same day of fecal E1C peak. We measured excreted steroids in nine wild females and determined the timing of ovulation by comparing fecal steroid profiles to those obtained in captive monkeys. Data from wild females indicated that eight of nine females conceived during their first ovulatory cycle of the sampling period, whereas the remaining female failed to conceive during the sampling period even though she ovulated. In the eight females that conceived, E1C increased again following the detected or estimated E1C peak, with levels comparable to the preovulatory peak levels, and sustained elevations of PdG for over 40 days. These data illustrate that the urinary and fecal profiles of ovarian steroid excretion obtained through the application of these noninvasive techniques provide an accurate approach for monitoring conceptive and nonconceptive ovarian cycle in captive and free-living Japanese macaques.
