Vervet Monkeys Solve a Multiplayer “Forbidden Circle Game” by Queuing to Learn Restraint
In social dilemmas, the ability of individuals to coordinate their actions is crucial to reach group optima. Unless exacted by power or force, coordination in humans relies on a common understanding of the problem, which is greatly facilitated by communication. The lack of means of consultation about the nature of the problem and how to solve it may explain why multiagent coordination in nonhum...
متن کاملQueuing on a continuous circle
In this thesis we analyze a queueing model on a continuous circle. The model is motivated by an application in optical data transport. A processor moves with constant speed on this circle. Jobs arrive at the current location of the processor, according to a Poisson process of fixed intensity. If the server is not occupied, it immediately takes the new job into service and releases it after comp...
متن کاملSocial Coordination: Patience Is a Virtue for Vervet Monkeys
Free-ranging vervet monkeys can solve a complex, multi-player coordination problem, learning to remain outside a 'forbidden circle' imposed by one member of the troop, in the absence of any social learning, communication, or policing by more dominant animals.
متن کاملSelection of Secondary Growth Areas by Vervet Monkeys ( Cercopithecus aetbiops )
Habitat selection by a group of vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) living on the savanna peninsula of St. Kitts was investigated by the intensive sampling of 12 transects. The vervets exhibited nonrandom use of habitats. Examination of 20 ecological variables in each of the habitat types revealed that the vervets preferentially used areas of secondary growth characterized by high density a...
متن کاملHeterochrony and Cross-Species Intersensory Matching by Infant Vervet Monkeys
BACKGROUND Understanding the evolutionary origins of a phenotype requires understanding the relationship between ontogenetic and phylogenetic processes. Human infants have been shown to undergo a process of perceptual narrowing during their first year of life, whereby their intersensory ability to match the faces and voices of another species declines as they get older. We investigated the evol...
