Is Extended Lactation Nutritionally Important for the Weaning of Wild Toque Macaques, Macaca sinica? Evidence From Milk Composition

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 9, September 2025.
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 ...

Infants as Social Magnets: The Influence of Births on Social Interactions in Redfronted Lemurs (Eulemur rufifrons)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Infant survival is an important component of parental fitness in iteroparous species with slow life histories. 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

open access: yesInternational Journal of Primatology, 2008
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 ...

Age‐Related Changes in Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) Feeding Behavior and Physiology: Insights of Masticatory and Swallowing Functions

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 8, August 2025.
This study investigated the feeding and swallowing physiology of 26 marmosets (1 month to 19 years old). Using a non‐invasive cineradiography setup, the study examined key age‐related differences in oral and pharyngeal swallowing phases across four age groups: infant, adult, old, and very old.

Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1557-1577, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

No short-term contingency between grooming and food tolerance in Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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.
