“…by-product mutualism [84]). Similarly, among tufted capuchin monkeys, dominant males are the preferred sociosexual partner [62,76,85,86]; yet, despite these asymmetric benefits to male reproductive success, no rank effects are apparent. High levels of participation by subordinate males may nevertheless be maintained if resident males gain benefits through inclusive fitness [87] or through reproductive queuing and delayed reciprocity (cf.…”

“…Therefore, unlike some primates (Cheney 1977;de Waal 1989), grooming for meerkats did not mediate access to resources. Instead, changes in grooming prompted changes in non-resource-focused antagonism, which, as in primates (DiBitetti 1997;Schino 2001), relate to social status (Kutsukake & Clutton-Brock 2006a). These dominance interactions are crucial in shaping the social structure of meerkat groups (Clutton-Brock et al 2001;Griffin et al 2003;Kutsukake & Clutton-Brock 2006b;Young et al 2006).…”

It is thought that allogrooming is practised strategically in order to establish, maintain and reinforce social bonds between group members, exchanging one altruistic behaviour for a different form of reciprocated benefit at a later date. Correlational evidence supports this, but evidence of causality is lacking. We reduced parasite loads in eight meerkat Suricata suricatta groups, generating a substantial decrease in grooming. Contrary to the predictions, overall antagonism did not increase. However, within group networks, grooming increased towards individuals who increased their antagonism. This was restricted to antagonism focused on social position, rather than access to physical resources. The treatment also increased an alternative placatory behaviour: unprompted submissions. Following treatment, individuals performed higher rates of guarding and marking behaviours, suggesting that they were stressed. A reduction in opportunity to mediate stress through grooming may explain local rises in antagonism and corresponding increases in placatory behaviours. We suggest that meerkats use allogrooming (and submissions) as a facultative response to antagonism, rather than a pre-emptive strategy to avert it by establishing a network of associations, as has been suggested for primates.

“…Há duas possibilidades de hipóteses sobre a função da catação: uma determina que tenha como função a higiene do pelo (Hutchins & Barash, 1976); enquanto a outra afirma que representa uma função social, como forma de estabelecer e manter relações dentro do grupo (Stammbach & Kummer, 1982), assim como reduzir as tensões sociais (Boccia, 1987, Schino et al, 1988. Di Bitetti (1997) verificou que os pares de indivíduos que realizam catação com maior frequência são os mesmos que formam alianças mais fortes. Alguns estudos realizados com Cebus capucinus relataram que as fêmeas dominantes recebem a maior parte das catações (Perry et al, 2017, Rose, 1998 catações com maior frequência nas fêmeas subordinadas do que o inverso (Parr et al, 1997).…”

RESUMO.Os macacos-prego da espécie Sapajus libidinosus são conhecidos como os macacos mais robustos e inteligentes do Novo Mundo, e dentre as espécies neotropicais, é a que apresenta maior distribuição geográfica. Devido a isso e também pelo fácil manuseio e a facilidade de reprodução em cativeiro, o gênero vem sendo utilizado em diversas pesquisas, dada a sua proximidade filogenética com a espécie humana, servindo de modelo biológico em experimentos aplicados a essa espécie, com ampla variedade de pesquisas biomédicas. É uma espécie considerada quase ameaçada no Brasil segundo critérios de avaliação do ICMBio (2012ICMBio ( -2014 e o estudo do comportamento animal surge como um meio de pesquisa científica que tem proporcionado importantes contribuições além do estudo do comportamento humano, neurociências, meio ambiente e bem-estar animal, também com a preservação de espécies. Considerando a relevância que a pesquisa do comportamento e biologia animal vem tomando dentro da comunidade científica, esse estudo tem por objetivo uma revisão de literatura acerca da espécie Sapajus libidinosus enfatizando, dentro do tema em questão, sua taxonomia, distribuição geográfica e população, características gerais e adaptações, vida social, alimentação e reprodução.Palavras chave: Cebidae, comportamento animal, preservação de espécies Biological and behavioral aspects of Sapajus libidinosus: ReviewABSTRACT. The black striped capuchin monkey of the species Sapajus libidinosus are known as the most robust and intelligent monkeys of the New World, and of the neotropical species, it is the one that presents greater geographical distribution. Due to this and also because of the easy handling and the ease of reproduction in captivity, the genus has been used in several researches, given its phylogenetic proximity to the human species, serving as a biological model in experiments applied to this species, with a wide variety of Biomedical research. It is a species considered almost threatened in Brazil according to ICMBio (2012ICMBio ( -2014 evaluation criteria and the study of animal behavior emerges as a means of scientific research that has provided important contributions besides the study of human behavior, neurosciences, environment and animal welfare, also With the preservation of species. Considering the relevance of behavioral research and animal biology within the scientific community, this study aims to review the literature on the species Sapajus libidinosus, emphasizing, within the theme, its taxonomy, geographic distribution and population, general characteristics and adaptations, social life, food and reproduction.
