This book was released on 2016 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study presents behavioral data of a recently-formed western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) group at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Columbia, South Carolina, from the initial stages of group formation through the first several months after introduction. The group consists of a male (19 years), two half-sisters (both 10 years), and an unrelated female (20 years). A total of 99.25 observation hours were collected. It was predicted that the frequency of affiliative behaviors would increase over time, with more affiliative interaction between related females. Also, it was hypothesized that agonism would decrease over time. It was also predicted that a dominance hierarchy would result among the females, with the unrelated female being the lowest-ranking due to the already strong bonds shared by the half-sisters. The results of this study show that the group-wide and intrasex relationships mirror those seen in wild populations and other captive groups, particularly in regard to the lack of social dominance. It appears that the members of newly-formed group adjusted well and will thrive in their new surroundings. Furthermore, these findings may help animal caretakers more effectively manage family groups and continue to ensure a high quality of life for captive gorillas"--Abstract, leaf iii.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-conflict behaviors, including reconciliation, redirected aggression, and consolation, have been observed in several primate and non-primate species. These behaviors are thought to help re-establish rates of affiliation and tolerance to baseline levels, by terminating the victims stress response, and reducing the social tension created by conflict. Post-conflict behavior was examined in two groups (N = 13) of captive western lowland gorillas, a species for which no previous conflict resolution data exist. The post-conflict/matched-control method was used to observe the groups at Zoo Atlanta. Analyses of 223 conflicts (using chi-square, Wilcoxon signed ranks, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests) showed significantly more affiliation between former opponents after a conflict when compared to control periods, indicating reconciliation. Results also showed significantly more affiliation between the victim and a third-party after a conflict, indicating consolation. Both solicited and unsolicited consolation were observed. Instances of redirected aggression were very few, and thus not included in the analyses. The majority of the affiliative interactions were social proximity, which suggests that unlike most nonhuman primates, proximity, rather than physical contact, may be the main mechanism for resolving conflicts in western lowland gorillas. Post-conflict behavior was not uniform throughout the groups, but rather varied according to dyad type (for instance, adult-adult, juvenile-juvenile, adult-juvenile, etc.). Effects of kinship and the intensity of aggression during a conflict on post-conflict behavioral patterns were analyzed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive introduction demonstrates the theoretical perspectives and concepts that are applied to primate behavior, and explores the relevance of non-human primates to understanding human behavior. Using a streamlined and student-friendly taxonomic framework, King provides a thorough overview of the primate order. The chapters cover common features and diversity, and touch on ecology, sociality, life history, and cognition. Text boxes are included throughout the discussion featuring additional topics and more sophisticated taxonomy. The book contains a wealth of illustrations, and further resources to support teaching and learning are available via a companion website. Written in an engaging and approachable style, this is an invaluable resource for students of primate behavior as well as human evolution.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African apes are important models in our interpretation of human locomotor evolution. Locomotor features associated with terrestrial knuckle-walking are fundamental to our understanding of the origin and evolution of hominid bipedalism. This study presents a detailed analysis of the ontogeny of locomotion in the last African ape, Gorilla gorilla. One hundred and seventy-four hours of positional, social, and maintenance behaviors were collected with a camcorder (see supplementary video files) at the Lincoln Park (IL), Brookfield (IL), and Bronx (NY) zoos. Behaviors were recorded in The Observer XT using a continuous time sampling method. Results suggest the transition from ancestral arboreal ape to descendent terrestrial biped can be explained as a terrestrial transition from knuckle-walking to upright bipedalism, and a symmetrical knuckle-walking gait represents a good mechanical model for the pre-bipedal stage of hominoid locomotor evolution.

Download or read book Primate Cognitive Studies written by Bennett L. Schwartz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 920 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have studied non-human primate cognition along different paths, including social cognition, planning and causal knowledge, spatial cognition and memory, and gestural communication, as well as comparative studies with humans. This volume describes how primate cognition is studied in labs, zoos, sanctuaries, and in the field, bringing together researchers examining similar issues in all of these settings and showing how each benefits from the others. Readers will discover how lab-based concepts play out in the real world of free primates. This book tackles pressing issues such as replicability, research ethics, and open science. With contributors from a broad range of comparative, cognitive, neuroscience, developmental, ecological, and ethological perspectives, the volume provides a state-of-the-art review pointing to new avenues for integrative research.
