Female social relationships in a captive group of Campbell's monkeys (Cercopithecus campbelli campbelli)
Article Abstract:
A study group of Campbell's monkeys (Cercopithecus campbelli campbelli) provided data on affiliative and agonistic relationships between females that enabled to identify a monitor-adjust social system with frequent affiliative interactions, directed gazing and avoidances rather than aggressive acts. The study found a significant linear hierarchy of dominance with rare reversals and stable intermatrilline dominance.

Sex differences in sexual partner acquisition, retention, and harassment during female homosexual consortships in Japanese macaques
Article Abstract:
A study conducted to determine whether female Japanese macaques employ male-typical behavioral tactics to disrupt existing homosexual consortships, as well as to acquire and retain same-sex sexual partners is presented. Results indicate that female sexual activity during homosexual consortships is not uniformly masculine in expression, but rather is a combination of male- and female-typical behaviors.
