Aggressive and affiliative behavior in green monkeys with differing housing complexity
Article Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of kind of enclosures on social formation and aggressive behavior among green monkeys. Eleven green monkeys, initially divided into three groups, served as subjects. Two groups were both male and female and the third one was strictly male. They were placed in enclosures which were similar in size but had different number of compartments. Findings revealed that housing with one compartment produced higher rates of aggression, two compartments fostered harmonious social groupings and four compartments reduced aggression.

Experimental evidence for aggressive antipredator behavior in black skimmers (rynchops niger)
Article Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to confirm the claim that the kind of predator, biological home and duration of provocation, do not affect the antipredatory responses of skimmers. Subjects were black skimmers in West Ham Island and Cedar Beach, Long Island, NY. A live herring gull was used as predator. Findings revealed that skimmers in the West Ham Island showed more aggressive response to a person or gull predator than those in the beach and that aggression directed against the gull was stronger than for the person.
