Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Coping strategies in captive capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) [PDF]
Studies on diverse species indicate the existence of individual differences in stress coping strategies labelled as ‘proactive’ and ‘reactive’. Identifying taxonomic distribution of such coping strategies is fundamental to evolutionary models and to ...

Vigilance in wild Thomas's langurs (Presbytis thomasi): the importance of infanticide risk [PDF]
This study examines vigilance as a behavioural indicator of the importance of infanticide risk by com- paring the infanticide avoidance hypothesis with the predation avoidance and mate defence hypotheses for wild Thomas's langurs (Presbytis thomasi ...

Optimal foraging can drive emergent initiator‐follower dynamics in social groups
Deciding when and where to move is a challenge for group‐living animals as differences in preferences must be resolved for the group to maintain cohesion. In many species, consensus is reached through shared decision‐making, whereby group members initiate group movements by stopping foraging and making directed movements away from a feeding source. Yet,

Alpha male replacements and delayed dispersal in crested macaques (Macaca nigra). [PDF]
In species with a high male reproductive skew, competition between males for the top dominant position is high and escalated fights are common between competitors. As a consequence, challenges incur potentially high costs.
