The Evolution of Food Calls: Vocal Behaviour of Sooty Mangabeys in the Presence of Food
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 The two main theories of food-associated calls in animals propose functions either in cooperative recruitment or competitive spacing. However, not all social animals produce food calls and it is largely unclear under what circumstances this call type ...

Dominance hierarchy and spatial distribution in captive red-capped mangabeys (Cercocebus torquatus torquatus): Testing Hemelrijk's agent-based model [PDF]
, 2015 We empirically tested Hemelrijk's agent-based model (Hemelrijk 1998), in which dyadic agonistic interaction between primate-group subjects determines their spatial distribution and whether or not the dominant subject has a central position with respect ...

Consistency of Social Interactions in Sooty Mangabeys and Chimpanzees
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Predictability of social interactions can be an important measure for the social complexity of an animal group. Predictability is partially dependent on how consistent interaction patterns are over time: does the behavior on 1 day explain the behavior on
