“…Due to the considerable individual variation observed in the present group this may reflect individual differences rather than a significant sex difference. Estrada and Sandoval [1977] reported that males were biased towards infant males in their care giving, a finding which we could not adequately test in the present study but may subjectively endorse. On the other hand our subjective impression was that immature males were not biased towards nonkin infants, or were any of them more active than the fully adult second ranking male.…”

“…Several aspects of its behavior, however, seem to set it apart, see for example Hawkes [1969], Chevalier-Skolnikoff [1972] and Kanagawa and Hafez [1973], Studies of the social behavior of stumptails have described certain social patterns in detail, e.g. Gouzoules [1974Gouzoules [ , 1975, Goosen [1974a, b], Estrada and Sandoval [1977], Rhine and Hendy-Neely [1978], Trollope and Blurton-Jones [1975] and Weisbard and Goy [1976], or behavior patterns in general, e.g. Bertrand [1969], Estrada and Estrada [1976], and Rhine and Kronenwetter [1972].…”

Activity profiles from a group of stumptail monkeys differed significantly from the profiles previously reported for pigtail monkeys, mangabeys and geladas scored under nearly identical conditions. Variables such as sex, weather and time of day, however, often had similar influences on the activity profiles of several or all of the groups. Data obtained on the stumptail monkeys in this study were more similar to data collected on other groups of stumptails, living under very different conditions, than to the data collected on different species living under nearly identical conditions. Infant care patterns in the stumptails included interactions with adult males and females and were not significantly influenced by kinship.

“…During these interactions typically two males simultaneously manipulate one infant exhibiting a typical series of ritualized behaviour including teeth chattering, lifting the infant above their heads and inspection of the infant's genitals (see Deag 1980). Bridging has been reported in several papionin primates: Barbary Macaca sylvanus (Deag and Crook 1971), Tibetan M. thibetana (Ogawa 1995a), stumptail M. acrtoides (Estrada and Sandoval 1977), longtail M. fascicularis (de Waal et al 1976), Assamese M. assamensis (Bernstein and Cooper 1998) and bonnet macaques M. radiata (Silk and Samuels 1984) as well as yellow Papio cynocephalus (Collins 1986), olive P. anubis (Smuts 1985) and chacma baboons P. ursinus (Busse and Hamilton 1981), sooty mangabeys Cercocebus atys (Busse and Gordon 1984), gray-cheeked mangabeys Cercocebus albigena (Chalmers 1968) and geladas Theropithecus gelada (Dunbar 1984).…”

“…Males also choose the male partner in the bridging interaction nonrandomly (e.g. Estrada and Sandoval 1977;Dunbar 1984;Taub 1984;Ogawa 1995a). Males initiate bridging interactions more often with relatively higher ranking males than with lower ranking Silk and Samuels 1984;Collins 1986;Deag 1980) and/or with males, who are relatively close to their own rank (Stein 1984;Paul et al 1996).…”

Triadic awareness predicts partner choice in male–infant–male interactions in Barbary macaques

et al. 2016

Social knowledge beyond one's direct relationships is a key to successful maneuvering of the social world. Individuals gather information on the quality of social relationships between their group companions, which has been termed triadic awareness. Evidence of the use of triadic awareness in natural contexts is limited mainly to conflict management. Here we investigated triadic awareness in wild Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) in the context of bridging interactions defined as male-infant-male interactions whereby a male (actor) presents an infant to another male (receiver) in order to initiate an affiliative interaction with that male. Analyses based on 1,263 hours of focal observations on ten infants of one wild social group in Morocco supported the hypothesis that males use their knowledge of the relationship between infants and other adult males when choosing a male as a partner for bridging interactions. Specifically, (i) the number of bridging interactions among initiator-infant-receiver triads was affected by the strength of the infant-receiver relationship and (ii) when two males were available as bridging partners, a male was more likely to be chosen as the receiver the stronger his social relationship with the infant in comparison to the other available male was. This demonstrates that non-human primates establish triadic awareness also of temporarily rather dynamic infant-male relationships and use it in naturally occurring affiliative context. Our results contribute to the discussion about the mechanism underlying the acquisition of triadic awareness and the benefits of its usage and lend support to hypotheses linking social complexity to the evolution of complex cognition.
