“…There seemed to be greater difference between the activity budget for two wild groups of Tonkean macaques studied by Pombo et al (2004) than between our study group and these wild groups. Similarly, Melfi and Feistner (2002) found through direct comparison that there were greater differences between two captive groups and between two wild groups of crested black macaques Macaca nigra than for comparisons between captive and wild groups.…”

“…Previous reports stated that Tonkean macaques spent most of their time in trees (Pombo et al, 2004;Riley, 2007Riley, , 2008. We showed that animals tended to spend more time in trees during the leafing season (spring) and were therefore sensitive to seasonal changes.…”

“…At the time of the study (November 2005-March 2006, the group consisted of ten individuals: one adult male (>5 yr), five adult females (>4 yr) and four juveniles (1-3 yr), which is comparable to the composition of wild groups (Pombo et al, 2004;Riley, 2005Riley, , 2007Supriatna et al, 1992). Wild Tonkean macaques are typically found in the primary and secondary rainforests of Sulawesi (Indonesia) and are mainly frugivorous (Pombo et al, 2004;Supriatna et al, 1992). The Tonkean macaques in our study had complete access to 0.32 ha of wooded parkland in addition to indoor housing within the enclosure.…”

Land use in semi-free ranging Tonkean macaques Macaca tonkeana depends on environmental conditions: A geographical information system approach

Wild animals use their habitat according to ecological pressures such as predation, resource availability or temperature, yet little is known about how individuals use their environment in semi free-ranging conditions. We assessed whether a semi-free ranging group of Tonkean macaques Macaca tonkeana used its wooded parkland in a heterogeneous way. GIS and GPS were used to determine whether individuals adjusted their behaviors according to variation in environmental constraints over time of day and the course of a year. We demonstrated that social and resting activities occurred in high altitude areas and areas with a high density of bushes, whereas the group foraged in areas where the density of bushes and grass was low. In general, the animals used areas exposed to the sun that were not on a slope. Semi-free ranging Tonkean macaques seemed to behave like their wild counterparts in terms of activity budget, land use per activity and thermoregulation [Current Zoology 57 (1): 8-17, 2011].

“…At the time of the study (May 2006 to August 2006) it consisted of 22 individuals: two adult males (17 and 8 years old), 11 adult females (16,14,12,11,11,11,8,7,7,7 and 6 years old), two sub-adult females (both 4 years old) and seven infants (<1 year old). The composition of the two groups was comparable to several wild groups (Makwana, 1978;Pombo et al, 2004;Riley, 2007). We did not analyse infant behaviours, as it was not always possible to distinguish these individuals within the group.…”

SUMMARYLiving in groups necessarily involves a certain amount of within-group competition for food. Group members may have different motivations, implying the reaching of a consensus to stay cohesive. In some cases individuals fail to reach a common decision and the group splits; this can be temporary, as seen in fission-fusion dynamics, or even irreversible. Most studies on fission-fusion dynamics published to date have focused on the influence of environmental constraints on sub-grouping patterns, but little is known about how social relationships affect individual choices for sub-groups. In this study, we used an agent-based model to understand the mechanisms underlying group fission in two semi-free-ranging groups of macaques: one group of Tonkean macaques (Macaca tonkeana) and one of rhesus macaques (M. mulatta). The results showed that sub-grouping patterns were mainly influenced by affiliative relationships. Moreover, the species-specific social style appeared to affect the probability of choosing a particular sub-group. In the tolerant Tonkean macaques, mechanisms underlying sub-grouping patterns resembled anonymous mimetism, while in the nepotistic rhesus macaques, kinship influenced the mechanisms underlying group fissions. As previous studies have shown, fission-fusion society may be a way to avoid social conflicts induced either by food or by social competition. Supplementary material available online at

The endemic seven: Four decades of research on the Sulawesi macaques

The oceanic island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, has long been of interest to scholars, including one of the leading evolutionary thinkers of the nineteenth century: Alfred Russell Wallace. During his explorations of the Malay archipelago, Wallace 1 was particularly struck with the ecology of Sulawesi (formally Celebes), noting the depauperate, yet distinctive nature of its fauna. It was home to members of both Asian and Australian faunas. Today, the asymmetrical four-armed island of Sulawesi is regarded as the center of Wallacea, a unique biogeographical zone where endemism levels are incredibly high.2 Of the 127 mammals indigenous to Indonesia, 79 (62%) are endemic to Sulawesi. Among these are seven species of the genus Macaca, 3 the most geographically widespread and ecologically diverse of nonhuman primate genera. In this paper, I trace the history and development of the major research trends on these endemic primates over the last four decades since Fooden's 3 landmark 1969 publication. These research trends include origin, speciation, and taxonomy; socioecology and behavior; ecology and conservation; and, most recently, the human-macaque interface.
