Where cercopithecine monkeys are well fed, as in managed colonies, mothers cease lactation by about 7 months. This contrasts weaning age in a food limited population of wild toque macaques (TM) in Sri Lanka where all mothers lactate up to 7 months (0.58 y), during primary lactation, and continue to provide supplementary milk as infants transition to ...

From the infant's perspective, survival can be more or less directly influenced by the social environment, with group members potentially representing either a threat or a buffer against external stressors.

Vocal Repertoire of Cebus capucinus: Acoustic Structure, Context, and Usage
Researchers studying nonhuman primate vocal repertoires suggest that convergent environmental, social, and motivational factors account for intra- and interspecific vocal variation. We provide a detailed overview of the vocal repertoire of white-faced capuchins, including acoustic analyses and contextual information of vocal production and vocal usage ...

No short-term contingency between grooming and food tolerance in Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) [PDF]
The exchange services such as allo-grooming, allo-preening, food tolerance and agonistic support has been observed in a range of species. Two proximate mechanisms have been proposed to explain the exchanges of services in animals.
