Effect of habitat quality on diet flexibility in Barbary macaques.
Barbary macaques live in extreme temperate environments characterized by strongly seasonal resource availability. They are mainly terrestrial while foraging, harvesting food from the herbaceous layer. These monkeys are threatened mainly because of anthropogenic habitat degradation. We studied the adaptive capacities of wild groups of Barbary macaques that lived in different cedar forests underg...
متن کاملGrooming in Barbary macaques: better to give than to receive?
It is well established that grooming underpins sociality in group-living primates, and a number of studies have documented the stress-reducing effects of being groomed. In this study, we quantified grooming behaviour and physiological stress (assessed by faecal glucocorticoid analysis) in free-ranging Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus. Our results indicate that it is the giving rather than the ...
متن کاملTolerant Barbary macaques maintain juvenile levels of social attention in old age, but despotic rhesus macaques do not.
Complex social life is thought to be a major driver of complex cognition in primates, but few studies have directly tested the relationship between a given primate species' social system and their social cognitive skills. We experimentally compared life span patterns of a foundational social cognitive skill (following another's gaze) in tolerant Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus, and despotic r...
متن کاملPatterns of Infant Carriage by Barbary Macaques Macaca sylvanus in Gibraltar
The Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus) shows the most extensive infant-carrying behaviour in the genus Macaca. Different hypotheses have been investigated and discussed in previous studies, but none was able to explain all types of observed behaviour. In this study, a group of 46 wild Barbary macaques in Gibraltar was observed during three months of early infant life. Data were collected on dyad...
متن کاملWhom to Groom and for What? Patterns of Grooming in Female Barbary Macaques (Macaca sylvanus)
Grooming is one of the most conspicuous social interactions among nonhuman primates. The selection of grooming partners can provide important clues about factors relevant for the distribution of grooming within a social group. We analyzed grooming behavior among 17 semi-free ranging female Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus). We tested whether grooming is related to kinship, rank and friendship....
