“…McCovan et al, (2008) wrote that aggression was o en used by both sexes to establish the social position of the animal within a group. From the ethological point of view, the aggressive behaviour may consist of attacks and escapes, although in some behavioural models of mammal social interaction even more modalities are distinguished (Máchalová et al, 2012).…”

The aim of this work was to observe and analyse the main daily activities in the group of geladas kept in the Zlín Zoo. The experimental group was formed by three males (one of them was a dominant alfa male) and four females who were in the reproductive cycle at the observation period. The behavioural study included fi ve recurrent observations which took place in March 2014. The observations revealed that geladas spent most of the time feeding (44.1%) and performing comfort behaviour (24.6%). About 7.7-10.4% of the total time the geladas spent moving, resting and observing the neighbourhoods. The settled and stable social hierarchy within the group prevented greater incidence (0.7%) of aggressive behaviour. Occurrence of other types of activities was low -play (1.7%), climbing the trees (0.5%) and sexual behaviour (2.3%). The work also studied how the incidence of a particular type of behaviour changed over time within the day. A certain pattern in behavioural activities was apparent because their incidence tended to be similar on all observation days. Foraging activities were the greatest (44.80 ± 3.64 observations) between 15.00 and 16.00, resting (8.00-9.80 observations) between 12.00 and 14.00 and comfort behaviour (23.20 ± 2.82 observations) in the morning.

“…This is consistent with the existing evidence indicating that acute ecstasy intoxication may reduce aggression (Curran et al, 2004;Kirilly et al, 2006;Machalova et al, 2012). My findings build on previous research by indicating that even when combined with alcohol ecstasy still does not appear to be associated with aggression.…”

“…Preclinical studies have shown MDMA to cause a dose-dependent reduction in aggression (Kirilly et al, 2006;Machalova, Slais, Vrskova, & Sulcova, 2012). Reductions in selfreported aggression during ecstasy intoxication have also been reported in human studies (Curran, Rees, Hoare, Hoshi, & Bond, 2004).…”

From the ethological point of view, the aggressive behaviour may consist of attacks and escapes, although in some behavioural models of mammal social interaction even more modalities are distinguished (Machalova et al, 2012). However, Leone and Palagi (2010) mentioned that a er the fi nished attack the gelada aggressors tried to re-establish friendly contact more frequently than the targets (victims) of these attacks.…”

HANULÁKOVÁ ŠÁRKA, MÁCHAL LADISLAV, HLOUČALOVÁ PAVLÍNA, HORSKÝ ROMAN, CHLÁDEK GUSTAV: Social relationships existing among gelada (Theropithecus gelada) males in Zoo Zlín. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013, LXI, No. 6, pp. 1653-1659 This study was focused on the monitoring of behaviour and complex social relationships existing among gelada (Theropithecus gelada) monkeys. The study involved a group of fi ve males that were raised in captivity in the Zoo Zlín -Lešná. Ethological monitoring was performed by means of photographing of the group behaviour of these animals. Studied were the basic forms of social behaviour, i.e. food collection (foraging), free movement, (locomotion) observing of the neighbourhood (watching), grooming, climbing on trees, playing, aggressive behaviour (fi ghting), and resting. The temporary point of view, foraging was the most important time-consuming activity (55.3 ± 2.0 % of the study time); its maximum frequencies occurred in time intervals of 9 and 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m.. The second place was occupied by the locomotion (15.3 ± 4.1 % of the study time) and its maximum frequencies were recorded between 9 and 11 a.m. and between 2 and 3 p.m. Grooming was the third most important activity (8.5 ± 4.8 % of the study time). The distribution of periods of rest (7.5 ± 3.1 % of the study time) was relatively uniform and its maxima were observed between 10:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Observing of the neighbourhood and climbing on trees occupied 5.6 ± 3.3 % and 3.6 ± 3.0 % of the time, respectively and playing was the least frequent activity (2.2 ± 9.0 % of the study time), similarly as the aggressive behaviour (2.0 ± 23.0 % of the study time).
