Male-female aggression and sexual coercion in chimpanzees

Physical assaults by male chimpanzees towards female chimpanzees have been likened to human domestic violence, and presented as a system which may provide a good model for understanding the evolutionary function of such behavior, as a form of sexual coercion. This study aims to quantify the extent to which female chimpanzees experience such aggression and to evaluate the proposal that this behavior provides a good model for the function of violence within relationships.

64. The Predatory Behavior And Ecology Of Wild Chimpanzees
Research into the hunting ecology of wild chimpanzees may therefore shed new light primates 38 193214. Uehara, S., T. Nishida, M. Hamai,T. Hasegawa,

The Predatory Behavior and Ecology of Wild Chimpanzees
When Jane Goodall first observed wild chimpanzees hunting and eating meat nearly 40 years ago, skeptics suggested that their behavior was aberrant and that the amount of meat eaten was trivial. Today, we know that chimpanzees everywhere eat mainly fruit, but are also predators in their forest ecosystems. In some sites the quantity of meat eaten by a chimpanzee community may approach one ton annually. Recently revealed aspects of predation by chimpanzees, such as its frequency and the use of meat as a political and reproductive tool, have important implications for research on the origins of human behavior. These findings come at a time when many anthropologists argue for scavenging rather than hunting as a way of life for early human ancestors. Research into the hunting ecology of wild chimpanzees may therefore shed new light on the current debate about the origins of human behavior. In the early 1960's, when Dr. Jane Goodall began her now famous study of the chimpanzees of Gombe National Park, Tanzania, it was thought that chimpanzees were strictly vegetarian. In fact, when Goodall first reported this behavior, many people were skeptical and claimed that meat was not a natural part of the chimpanzee diet. Today, hunting by chimpanzees at Gombe has been well documented (Teleki 1973; Goodall 1986), and hunting has also been observed at most other sites in Africa where chimpanzees have been studied, including Mahale Mountains National Park (Uehara

Sarah F. Brosnan, Ph. D. Homepage Research Publications C. V. ... Teaching Primates' Response to Inequity in an Experimental Exchange Paradigm Journal papers "Monkeys Reject Unequal Pay" "Tolerance for inequity may increase with social closeness in chiimpanzees" During the evolution of cooperation, it may have become worthwhile for individuals to compare their own payoffs to those of others, in an effort to increase relative fitness. Humans do so, frequently rejecting payoffs that are perceived as unfair (even if they are advantageous). While there is some variation, this response is widespread across human populations. If a sense of fairness did evolve to promote cooperation, some nonhuman animals may exhibit inequity aversion as well. This is particularly likely in social species with tolerant societies, such that individuals may reasonably expect some equity between themselves and other group members. Here we examine the response of five adult female capuchin monkeys and twenty adult chimpanzees (6 male and 14 female) to an unequal distribution of rewards during experimental exchange with a human experimenter. Same-sex pairs alternated exchanges with the experimenter under four conditions: 1) both received the same reward, 2) one received a superior reward, 3) one received a superior reward without exchange (i.e. no work), and 4) a single individual observed a superior reward in the absence of a partner.

WHAT ARE PRIMATES? Chimpanzee
Pan troglodytes Primates are members of the taxonomic order Primate, a subgroup of mammals (class Mammalia). There are approximately 350* species of primate. *This number is an approximation and may change over time based on new findings or taxonomic reclassifications. In general, primates share these physical features:
  • Forward facing eyes (results in depth perception) and color vision are typical Two arms and two legs, rather than four legs Hands and feet (not paws) Most species have nails rather than claws Opposable set of digits Easily visible fingerprints which can be used for individual identification
Most primates:
  • Give birth to one offspring at a time Have offspring that have a long period of dependence and relatively slow rates of overall maturation Have large brains relative to their body sizes
What are the four categories of primates?

74. SNPRC Primate Care And Enrichment
Almost all of the primates at SNPRC are housed in groups. They spend much oftheir time The baboons, chimpanzees and other monkeys are very agile.
http://www.snprc.org/enrichment.html
Enrichment
SNPRC has an extensive environmental enrichment program . The goal of the program is to provide a better home for the monkeys and apes housed in our facilities. We give them opportunities to express species-typical behaviors that are found normally in primates living in the wild. Feeding, locomotion, and socializing are all species-typical behaviors. We also want to prevent or limit the occurrence of abnormal behaviors, which may result from the stress or boredom that sometimes occurs in a captive environment. SNPRC has developed an Environmental Enhancement Plan that codifies these principles. In addition to all the types of enrichment provided, we also spend extra time with individual animals that must be kept indoors or in single cages while they are on research projects or recovering from an illness or injury. Our Behavioral Intervention Program includes the assessment of individual behavior, a program of intensive enrichment to reduce boredom and stress, and an evaluation of the effectiveness of the program. Through this program, we have improved the lives of many nonhuman primates.
Social enrichment
Almost all of the primates at SNPRC are housed in groups. They spend much of their time interacting socially, including grooming each other. This rich social environment is important for the well-being of all primates, and is particularly critical for developing infants.

75. About SNPRC Primates
SNPRC also houses more than 200 chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). The Center is oneof only six Marmosets and tamarins are small, South American primates.
http://www.snprc.org/aboutprimates.html
About Our
Primates
SNPRC is home to the world's largest baboon colony , presently comprising about 3,700 animals. Most of the baboons at the facility are olive baboons (Papio hamadryas anubis), but there are also some hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas hamadryas), red baboons (Papio hamadryas papio) and yellow baboons (Papio hamadryas cynocephalus).
Our main breeding colony is made up of olive baboons, living outdoors in two open-air corrals. Each corral is six acres in size, and contains from 300 to 700 animals.
SNPRC also has a pedigreed baboon colony of about 700 individuals, whose family ancestral lines are well-documented. These baboons live in groups with 15-30 females, their infants, and one male so that the sire is known. Infant baboons are black when they are born, turning the brownish color of the adults when they are about 6 months old. Male and female baboons are very protective of youngsters in their group, and females are especially eager to touch newborn infants. They may follow the mother and groom her to get a chance to touch the infant.
At the other end of the age spectrum is our Pedigreed Geriatric Baboon Colony. This colony contains around 300 animals, all greater than 16 years of age. Of these, over 240 have been genotyped for the 330 microsatellite markers used in our gene mapping studies; eventually, all the animals will be genotyped. These animals are a unique and precious resource for investigating genetic contributions to the physiology of aging, including understanding of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and menopause.

Chimpanzees and the Law
It's still legal to buy our closest living relatives as pets," declared Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist. "You can buy them on the Internet." She spoke at a symposium on "The Evolving Legal Status of Chimpanzees" cosponsored by Harvard Law School's Student Animal Legal Defense Fund and the nonprofit Chimpanzee Collaboratory; the September conference explored legal protections (and lack of same) for the great apes, a subcategory of primates that includes chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans—and, according to some proponents, humans. In fact, human and chimpanzee DNA are 98.7 percent identical, a biological fact that has supported the use of these primates in laboratory research. Goodall, however, claimed that such studies have not produced major scientific advances. "I want a new mindset," she said. "We need to recognize that animal medical research hasn't helped that much." (For a broad discussion of this issue, see "Animal Research," January-February 1999, page 48.) Goodall's landmark study of chimpanzees in Tanzania helped redefine the boundaries between animals and humans, the very boundaries that were the symposium's focal point. The event attracted primatologists like Richard Wrangham, Moore professor of biological anthropology, who directs the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda, as well as legal figures such as Stephen Wise, who taught the first animal-rights law class at Harvard, in 2000, and Frankfurter professor of law Alan Dershowitz. Most speakers took as given that chimpanzees can communicate and emote, and that their rights should be expanded.

Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. To look into the eyes of a chimpanzee can be an unsettling experience. Perhaps it is their sameness: with 98.4 percent of their DNA identical to ours, their tool-making ability, and even elements of language in their repertoire, the lines between man and beast have become decidedly fuzzy. Perhaps that uncomfortable feeling is partly guilt. For chimpanzees have surely suffered at the hands of our speciesand nowhere more visibly than in research laboratories. As more and more questions arise about the morality of experimenting on chimpanzees and our responsibilities to these animals, one case stands in the limelight: the controversy surrounding 141 chimps in the research facility located at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico.
