| reciprocity of support in coatis (nasua nasua). | primate sociality has received much attention and its complexity has been viewed as a driving force for the evolution of cognitive abilities. improved analytic techniques have allowed primate researchers to reveal intricate social networks based on the exchange of cooperative acts and services. although nonprimates are known to show similar behavior (e.g., cooperative hunting, food sharing, coalitions) there seems a consensus that social life is less complex than in primates. here the authors pr ... | 2008 | 18298277 |
| kinship shapes affiliative social networks but not aggression in ring-tailed coatis. | animal groups typically contain individuals with varying degrees of genetic relatedness, and this variation in kinship has a major influence on patterns of aggression and affiliative behaviors. this link between kinship and social behavior underlies socioecological models which have been developed to explain how and why different types of animal societies evolve. we tested if kinship and age-sex class homophily in two groups of ring-tailed coatis (nasua nasua) predicted the network structure of ... | 2012 | 22624010 |
