VOL. 9, NO. 2, MARCH 1998 Copyright © 1998 American Psychological Society 143 Abstract— This study investigated maternal abuse and neglect of offspring in a large population of rhesus monkeys over a period of 29 years. Abuse and neglect did not occur together and were associated with different risk factors. Infant abuse was concentrated in 8 of 57 families and among closely related females. Abuse was also repeated with successive offspring. In contrast, infant neglect was not affected by genealogical factors, was not repeated with successive offspring, and was displayed mostly by primiparous mothers. These results suggest that abuse and neglect may be different phenomena and that infant abuse in group-living monkeys could represent a good animal model for investigating the mechanisms underlying the intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment.

To ensure adequate resources and advance their position in a dominance hierarchy, they must be Machiavellian—ready to exploit social opportunities whenever they appear (Ghazanfar and Santos, 2004; Maestripieri, 2007). Maintenance and the advancement of rank in a social hierarchy entail a range of behaviors such as play, grooming, aggressive attacks, submissive retrea...

Animal behavioral signals can evolve by natural selection if the sender of the signal gains fitness benefits from the responses of others (e.g. Krebs & Davies 1993; Maynard Smith & Harper 2003). Demonstrating that behavior patterns have an adaptive communicative function requires rejecting the null hypothesis that there is no adaptive function, as well as the hypothesis that they are adaptive b...

Thirteen group-living rhesus macaque females that were crossfostered shortly after birth were followed longitudinally until they gave birth for the first time. Their maternal behavior was compared to the behavior of both their foster and their biological mothers, and analyzed in relation to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine metabolites (5-HI...
