“…This result concurs with the fi ndings reported from previous studies on primates (Krishnamurthy, 1994;Waitt and BuchananSmith, 2001;Polizzi di Sorrentino et al, 2010) and dolphins (Tanchez, 2003;Sekiguchi and Kohshima, 2003;Akiyama and Ohta, 2007), in which vocal activity increased during the time immediately prior to feedings when animals heard the arrival of the keepers for food preparation. For example, it was reported that when chimpanzees saw the caregivers carrying the meal, the animals responded with loud food vocalizations and engaged in various physical contacts such as kissing and embracing in a sort of celebration for the imminent feeding session ( de Waal, 1993 ;Bloomsmith and Lambeth, 1995).…”

“…Amongst the variety of behavioral changes that are considered indicative of FAA (Howell et al, 1993;Carlstead, 1998;Jensen et al, 2013), the variation of vocalizations is also a factor infl uenced by the schedule of feeding sessions (Krishnamurthy, 1994;Waitt and Buchanan-Smith, 2001;Ulyan et al, 2006;Gilbert-Norton et al, 2009; Polizzi di Sorrentino et al, 2010;Gottlieb et al, 2013). The false killer whales' group at Qingdao Polar Ocean World showed changes in acoustic activity approximately 30 minutes before the feeding sessions.…”

“…In fact, it has been found that sound rates, type of calls, and acoustic structure within a call may vary depending on the context of behaviors such as aggression, panic, and social separation (rodents: Goldstein et al, 1996;Albeck et al, 1997;primates: Bayart et al, 1990;Champoux and Suomi, 1994;Friedman et al, 1995;Laudenslager et al, 1995;Boinski et al, 1999;farm animals: von Borell and Ladewig, 1992;Désautés et al, 1997;Weary et al, 1997). Animals living in a controlled environment with predictable daily routines, experience anticipation which is a mental state that can infl uence their behaviors including vocalizations (Krishnamurthy, 1994;Knutson et al, 1998;Burgdorf et al, 2000;Waitt and Buchanan-Smith, 2001;Ulyan et al, 2006;Düpjan et al, 2008;Gilbert-Norton et al, 2009;Polizzi di Sorrentino et al, 2010).…”

This study examines whether a group of captive false killer whales ( Pseudorca crassidens ) showed variations in the vocal rate around feeding times. The high level of motivation to express appetitive behaviors in captive animals may lead them to respond with changes of the behavioral activities during the time prior to food deliveries which are referred to as food anticipatory activity. False killer whales at Qingdao Polar Ocean World (Qingdao, China) showed signifi cant variations of the rates of both the total sounds and sound classes (whistles, clicks, and burst pulses) around feedings. Precisely, from the Transition interval that recorded the lowest vocalization rate (3.40 s/m/d), the whales increased their acoustic emissions upon trainers' arrival (13.08 s/m/d). The high rate was maintained or intensifi ed throughout the food delivery (25.12 s/m/d), and then reduced immediately after the animals were fed (9.91 s/m/d). These changes in the false killer whales sound production rates around feeding times supports the hypothesis of the presence of a food anticipatory vocal activity. Although sound rates may not give detailed information regarding referential aspects of the animal communication it might still shed light about the arousal levels of the individuals during diff erent social or environmental conditions. Further experiments should be performed to assess if variations of the time of feeding routines may aff ect the vocal activity of cetaceans in captivity as well as their welfare.

“…Recent studies have shown that the outburst of conflicts influences the behavior not only of opponents but also of uninvolved individuals; in hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas hamadryas) and Tonkean macaques (Macaca tonkeana), bystanders are more likely to affiliate with one another to cope with social tension after fights (De Marco et al 2010;Judge and Mullen 2005). In several species, individuals use social grooming to reduce the tension generated when group members anticipate the competition induced by a forthcoming food distribution (Macaca arctoides: Mayagoitia et al 1993; Pan troglodytes: Koyama and Dunbar 1996; Cebus apella: Polizzi di Sorrentino et al 2010).…”

Sexual competition is potentially disruptive for the cohesion of social groups because stress and conflicts can extend to other group members. The displays and interactions of sexual partners are liable to influence the behavior of groupmates, which may need to observe them to anticipate possible consequences. We studied 2 captive groups of Tonkean macaques (Macaca tonkeana) to test whether group-mates pay more attention to consort partners, modify their activities and social interactions, and exhibit signs of stress during periods of sexual consortships. We found that group-mates approached the top-ranking male more frequently and were more frequently oriented toward the consort pair at the time of consortship than at other times. Group-mates spent less time sleeping, and devoted less time to manipulating the environment and more time to monitoring during consortship. This indicates that consortships may incur costs in individuals not involved in sexual competition. However, Tonkean macaques did not exhibit any signs of increased stress during consortship periods, as their rates of scratching and yawning did not differ between consortship and nonconsortship periods. This study shows that not only direct competitors but also other individuals monitor the behavior of sexual Int J Primatol (2011)

Being a victim or an aggressor: Different functions of triadic post‐conflict interactions in wolves (Canis lupus lupus)

Animals adopt different behavioral strategies to cope with the conflict of interests coming from the competition over limited resources. Starting from the study on chimpanzees, post-conflict third-party affiliation (the affiliative contact provided by a third-party toward the victim--VTA--or the aggressor--ATA) was investigated mainly in primates. Later, this post-conflict mechanism has been demonstrated also in other mammals, such as wallabies, horses, dolphins, domestic dogs, and wolves. Here, we present data on triadic post-conflict affiliation in wolves (Canis lupus lupus) by exploring some of the hypotheses already proposed for primates and never tested before in other social mammals. In this carnivore species, the study of VTA and ATA revealed that these strategies cannot be considered as a unique behavioral category since they differ in many functional aspects. VTA serves to protect the victim by reducing the likelihood of reiterated attacks from the previous aggressor and to reinforce the relationship shared by the third-party and the victim. On the other hand, ATA has a role in bystander protection by limiting the renewed attacks of the previous aggressor toward uninvolved group-members (potential third-parties). In conclusion, exploring VTA and ATA gives the opportunity to concurrently demonstrate some functional differences in triadic post-conflict affiliation according to the different targets of bystanders (victims or aggressors). The data comparison between primates and other social mammals should permit to open new lines of research.
