Behavioral Contagion in Wild Ecuadorian White‐Fronted Capuchins (Cebus aequatorialis)
White‐fronted capuchins exhibit scratching contagion, but neither the characteristics of the trigger, or of the partner's (sex, age class, or centrality), or of the dyad (combination of sex, combination of age class, or social bond) seem to modulate the likelihood of contagion.

The vocal repertoire of Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana): A quantitative classification
Vocal repertoires are basic and essential components for describing vocal communication in animals. Studying the entire suite of vocal signals aids investigations on the variation of acoustic structure across social contexts, comparisons on the complexity of communication systems across taxa, and in exploration of the evolutionary origins of species ...

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.
