Variation in conciliatory tendency and relationship quality across groups of pigtail macaques
Article Abstract:
Former opponents in corral-housed pigtail macaques, Macaca nemestrina, are selectively attracted to each other after a conflict, but well estabished and newly formed groups differ regarding reconciliation. Conflicts are reconclied more often between opponents with strong affiliation. The members of well-established groups reconcile more often than those of a newly formed one. The former group distributes its affiliative behavior less evenly, and focuses on relatively smaller number of partners. This produces more intense ties which increases the chances of reconciliation after conflict.

Reconciliation patterns among stumptailed macaques: a multivariate approach
Article Abstract:
Stumptailed macaques, Macaca arctoides, have a high conciliatory tendency, according to research using multivariate analysis to investigate the relative significance of factors that may have an impact on the occurrence of reconciliation or specific postconflict behaviour patterns. The multivariate approach made it possible to determine the factors affecting the occurrence of reconciliation. These were found to be initial interopponent distance in postconflict, friendship and kinship.

A modest proposal: displacement activities as an indicator of emotions in primates
Article Abstract:
A review of present studies about primate displacement activities indicates their potential merit as a behavioral index of emotional conditions related to social interactions. The use of displacement activites can foster the adoption of the ethological approach by researchers who are not well versed in the recording of spontaneous behavior in interacting primates. In addition, this may have considerable influence on specific areas of primate research.
