When population growth intensifies intergroup competition, female colobus monkeys free-ride less

Author(s): Arseneau-Robar TJ; Teichroeb JA; Macintosh AJJ; Saj TL; Glotfelty E; Lucci S; Sicotte P; Wikberg EC; ...

Intergroup aggression often results in the production of public goods, such as a safe and stable social environment and a home range containing the resources required to survive and reproduce. We i ...

How can we apply decision-making theories to wild animal behavior? Predictions arising from dual process theory and Bayesian decision theory

Author(s): Teichroeb JA; Smeltzer EA; Mathur V; Anderson KA; Fowler EJ; Adams FV; Vasey EN; Tamara Kumpan L; Stead SM; Arseneau-Robar TJM; ...

Our understanding of decision-making processes and cognitive biases is ever increasing, thanks to an accumulation of testable models and a large body of research over the last several decades. The ...

Monkeys who experience more feeding competition utilize social information to learn foraging skills faster

Author(s): Arseneau-Robar TJM; Anderson KA; Sicotte P; Teichroeb JA;

Animals must learn foraging skills to successfully survive and reproduce but the sources of interindividual variation in learning are poorly understood. For example, there is little consensus on the role motivation plays, even though it is a key factor impa ...

No food left behind: foraging route choices among free-ranging Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) in a multi-destination array at the Awajishima Monkey Center, Japan

Author(s): Joyce MM; Teichroeb JA; Kaigaishi Y; Stewart BM; Yamada K; Turner SE;

Animals must make route choices every day when moving through their habitat while foraging. Choosing an optimal route can be cognitively costly, and primates and other animals have been shown to use simple heuristics, "rules of thumb", to make foraging rout ...

Non-Reproductive Sexual Behavior in Wild White-Thighed Colobus Monkeys (Colobus vellerosus)

Author(s): Teichroeb JA; Fox SA; Samartino S; Wikberg EC; Sicotte P;

Rare behaviors are often missing from published papers, hampering phylogenetic analyses. Here, we report, for the first time, masturbation and same-sex sexual behavior (SSB) in both male and female black-and-white colobus monkeys. We recorded these behavior ...
