  • The Function of Greetings Between Male Guinea Baboons
    Ethology 109, 847—859 (2003) Ó 2003 Blackwell Verlag, Berlin ISSN 0179–1613 Primate Rituals: The Function of Greetings between Male Guinea Baboons Jessica C. Whitham & Dario Maestripieri Animal Behavior Research Group, The University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA Abstract The bond-testing hypothesis suggests that social animals can obtain honest information about the quality of their dyadic relationships by exchanging costly, high-risksignals (Zahavi & Zahavi 1997). We evaluated this hypothesis by investigating whether adult male baboons use intense greeting interactions to test the quality and strength of their social bonds. Intense greetings involve intimate and risky behaviors such as embracing and the diddling of the penis and/or scrotum. Data were collected on a colony of 40 Guinea baboons (Papio papio)at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. Fifteen adult male baboons were focally observed for 30-min sessions over a 6-mo period, resulting in 195 h of observation. We assessed the quality of male–male relationships using measures of affiliation, aggression, and social tolerance. As predicted by the bond-testing hypothesis, dyads with strong social bonds exchanged a higher frequency of intense greetings than did pairs with poor relationships. We found no support for the competing hypotheses, that suggest that greetings have an aggressive or submissive function or are used as a form of post-conflict reconciliatory behavior. Neither dominance relationships nor contextual variables were predictive of intense greeting patterns. We suggest that by imposing on his partner, a male baboon is able to obtain reliable information about this individual’s current willingness to cooperate and invest in the relationship.

Unfortunately, there has been no paradigm for such a process. Without a clear framework for integration, conservation biologists may have diculties recognising how behavioural knowledge can help solve real-world conservation problems. Eective population size (Ne) is a key demographic parameter used to understand population viability. A variety of behaviours and behavioural traits impact Ne, yet their importance for conservation is under-appreciated. We suggest that identifying behavioural traits that aect Ne provides a paradigm for integrating behavioural biology into conservation biology. Behaviour can aect Ne through at least three dierent mechanisms: reducing N Ð the population size; reducing r Ð the population growth rate, and/or by increasing reproductive skew. We discuss how nine common behavioural traits can reduce Ne, and suggest how an understanding of these traits may inform management of both free-living and captive animals. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

  • COMMUNICATION in TERRESTRIAL MAMMALS Karen Mccomb & David
    COMMUNICATION IN TERRESTRIAL MAMMALS Karen McComb & David Reby Department of Psychology, University of Sussex, BRIGHTON BN1 9QH, UK. Introduction Research on vocal communication in terrestrial mammals had until recently lagged behind work on birds and anurans (frogs and toads), perhaps because of the greater difficulty of recording, analyzing and playing back acoustically more complex signals to animals who are usually free-ranging and difficult to confine for experimental purposes. One exception is the non-human primates, which have received intense scrutiny because of their shared ancestry with humans. Although primates can be classified as terrestrial mammals, we will not attempt to comprehensively cover research on this group here (much of this is presented in other chapters of the encyclopedia) but rather focus on the other terrestrial mammals, where advances in research techniques (enabled by the revolution in digital technology) are now beginning to yield interesting results. Research on these mammals integrates study at several levels of investigation, including the functional anatomy of the vocal apparatus, the acoustic structure of the calls, the context of their emission and their relationship and co-evolution with the social structures and reproductive strategies of the animals that give them. As a consequence, research in this area now uses a range of methods and tools, including anatomical investigation, sound analyses and re-synthesis and playback experiments. While mammalian vocal communication is qualitatively different from human speech, humans are also mammals and our mechanisms of vocal production are largely shared. This means that a common framework for understanding the structure and evolution of mammal vocalizations already exists, the source- filter theory of voice production.

  • Harassment During Arrival on Land and Departure to Sea in Southern Elephant Seals
    Ethology Ecology & Evolution 12: 389-404, 2000 Harassment during arrival on land and departure to sea in southern elephant seals . F. GALIMBERTI t, L. BOITANI 2 andI. MARZETTI 2 1 Elephant Seals Research Group, Via Buonarroti 35, 20145 Milano, Italy (E-mail: [email protected]) 2 Dipartimento di Biologia Animale, Universik degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”, Viale dell’kiversitk 32, 00185 Roma, Italy Received 10 August 1999, accepted 17 November 1999 During the breeding season female elephant seals spent most of their time on land inside harems. When they arrive on land before joining harems, and when they leave harems to return to sea, they are exposed to secondary males and may suffer intense harassment. Hence, arrival and departure present an ideal opportunity to test hypotheses concerning female tactics of harassment reduction. We studied harassment during arrival and departure in two southern elephant seal populations at Punta Delgada (Valdes Peninsula; DEL hereafter) and Sea Lion Island (Falkland Islands; SLI hereafter). Females were less likely to be intercepted by males during arrival than during departure. They also arrived mostly at high tide, thereby reducing the distance from water to the harems. Interception rate and harassment during departure were higher at DEL, where male density and the breeding sex ratio affected the likelihood of interception; on SLI, the socionomy had a small effect. Harassment was higher at low tide at DEL but not at SLI, because tide level variation was larger at DEL and this resulted in a larger variation in the distances of the harems from the water. Females departed more often than expected at high tide at DEL but not at SLI.
