This study will investigate affiliated relationships between unrelated adult rhesus monkey females of disparate rank. Individual focal animals will be followed before, during, and after food delivery, together with scans of all animals which are feeding. The purpose is to investigate why some subordinates gain access to preferred fresh food. Of particular interest is whether subordinates selectively join their dominant affiliates in feeding situations. These data, together with data previously collected by the investigators will reveal the stability over time of frequently affiliating pairs. This study will advance our understanding of how subordinate animals survive in a group where they are dominated, and of the social aspects of competitive and noncompetitive feeding. These results will bear on current theories of both group bonding and reciprocal altruism.

这项研究将调查不同级别的无亲缘成年雌性恒河猴之间的隶属关系。 在食物输送之前、期间和之后将对单个焦点动物进行跟踪，并对所有正在进食的动物进行扫描。 目的是调查为什么一些下属能够获得首选的新鲜食物。 特别令人感兴趣的是，下属是否有选择地加入其占主导地位的附属机构的喂养情况。 这些数据与研究人员之前收集的数据一起将揭示频繁加入的配对随着时间的推移的稳定性。 这项研究将增进我们对从属动物如何在受支配的群体中生存以及竞争性和非竞争性进食的社会方面的理解。 这些结果将对当前的群体联系和互惠利他主义理论产生影响。
