“…In our work these females were chosen to act as a control for mothers' intrinsic (and assumed) importance as a role model, not as an alternative. Nonetheless, similar to van de Waal et al (2010) findings in vervet monkeys and as is expected to occur in a female bonded matrifocal species such as the stumptailed macaque (Fooden, 1990), older females act as a source of social knowledge for infants.…”

SummaryAmong primates, the intense mother-infant bond provides offspring with a lengthy period for learning from an experienced and reliable demonstrator. Since adult life differs for females and males, the expertise of mother may not be equally useful to both sexes of infant, particularly with regard to social relationships. Here, we report on differences between infant female and male stumptailed macaques in learning how to allocate social grooming, using their mothers as demonstrators. Infant females were significantly more socially precocious than males, starting at early ages to groom mothers. Throughout their first year of life, daughters showed more instances of mirroring mothers' behaviour than sons did. In addition, while grooming on their own, grooming durations of daughters to specific partners was significantly concordant with time devoted by mothers to such recipients. We suggest that daughters learn from their mothers how to distribute grooming amongst social companions, while sons primarily use mother as a secure platform to initiate socializing. These results lend support to the idea that mirroring equates with learning and leads to reinforcement of innate propensities for gender roles in primates.

“…Furthermore, M. arctoides is weakly linked to the sinica group in the phylogenetic tree constructed by the NJ method. Thus, our results are generally in agreement with those of Fooden [27], Fooden [1] suggested that the silenus-sylvanus group (to which M. nemestrina be longed) probably dispersed earliest, the sini ca group next and the fascicularis group most recently. Nozawa et al [14] showed that M. arctoides and a member of the sinica group, M. radiata, are closely related and that M. nemestrina diverged earliest.…”

“…In the present study, M. arctoides mer ited placement in its own group. This is quite different from the arrangement of Delson [4] but is in agreement with that of Fooden [1], In a systematic review of M. arctoides, Fooden [27] suggested that this species was derived from the sinica group of macaques, specifical ly from a short-tailed ancestor resembling M. thibetana. Our results demonstrated that M. thibetana is the closest relative of M. arc toides and that the genetic distance between them is 0.065.…”

Mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) purified from 25 samples of 6 species of macaques, Macaca mulatta, M. fascicularis, M. arctoides, M. nemestrina, M. assamensis and M. thibetana, were analyzed to study the phyletic relationships among the species. A total of 36-46 sites was observed in each sample. By combining the cleavage patterns each of the endonucleases, the 25 samples were classified into 11 restriction types. When data on M. fuscata and M. cyclopis collected by other authors were added to our own, the resultant molecular phylogenetic trees indicated that the 8 species may be divided into 4 groups: M. mulatta, M. fuscata, M. cyclopis and M. fascicularis; M. arctoides; (3) M. nemestrina; (4) M. assamensis and M. thibetana. Our results suggest that within both the fascicularis and sinica groups genetic distances are small between members and that the status of the species within the groups may require further investigation.

“…2) have been reconstructed on the basis of morphological comparisons (pelage, genital morphology, and cranial characters) [50,57], palaeogeographic considerations [54, 58[ and molecular analyses [59]. The majority of authors [54,57,[59][60][61] [ agree on the distinction of three major groups, whereby the positions of M. sylvanus (Barbary macaques) and M. arctoides (stump tails) remain ambiguous. The most ancestral species is the Barbary macaque which today inhabits areas in North Africa, that is only the south-western part of the circumMediterranean area where macaques have presumably arisen [54,60] and from which they have entered Asia.…”

The applicability of previously established criteria for identifying homologous behavioural traits to the ritualized facial displays of primates is discussed and illustrated with several examples. (1) Homologizing of facial displays is based on (a) their stereotypy, (b) their nature as compounds of individual facial actions, and – to a lesser extent – (c) the homology of the muscle substrate by which the displays are accomplished. (2) Sequences of gradually changing displays (‘Merkmalsreihen’) can be constructed by considering related extant species, different ontogenetic stages, and variation and blends of the underlying motivations. (3) The pattern of distribution of the display in the primate phylogenetic tree reflects the direction of changes (‘Lesrich-tung’), and thus yields insights into the phylogeny of the displays. (4) The behavioural context of a display reflects its motivational embedding and is inseparable from its function. Therefore the behavioural context does not differentiate between similarities due to common descent and similarities due to identical function.
