Conflict management patterns across macaque species
Intra-specific Variation in the Social Behavior of Barbary macaques
Human-macaque conflict is an issue that impacts upon both primate conservation and human wellbeing. In India, Rhesus macaques (Macaca mullata) cause considerable damage to crops, and to a lesser extent, injury to people..

Do long tailed macaques avoid conflict?
Reconciliation, consolation, and redirection in Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata) Post-conflict social interactions among Barbary macaques ( Macaca sylvanus) International Journal of Primatology, 15 ( 1994), pp. 471 - 485 Long-tailed macaques avoid conflicts during short-term crowding .
,
Does dominance rank influence macaque initiation?
Across species, we found a positive relationship between dominance rank and macaque initiations of human–macaque interactions:
high-ranking individuals initiated more interactions with humans than low-ranking individuals
,
What are the social characteristics of a macaque?
For each macaque, we also computed its social characteristics, specifically its dominance rank, overall spatial position in the group, and connectedness or eigenvector centrality in the social grooming network.
,
What is the complexity of human–macaque interactions?
We also calculated (iii) the complexity of human–macaque interactionsas the average number of individual behaviors exchanged by the two participants (macaque and human) across all their interaction events.
Conflict management patterns across macaque species
Species of Old World monkey
The Barbary macaque, also known as Barbary ape, is a macaque species native to the Atlas Mountains of Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, along with a small introduced population in Gibraltar. It is the type species of the genus Macaca. The species is of particular interest because males play an atypical role in rearing young. Because of uncertain paternity, males are integral to raising all infants. Generally, Barbary macaques of both sexes and all ages contribute in alloparental care of young.
The crab-eating macaque
Species of monkey from Southeast Asia
The crab-eating macaque, also known as the long-tailed macaque and referred to as the cynomolgus monkey in laboratories, is a cercopithecine primate native to Southeast Asia. A species of macaque, the crab-eating macaque has a long history alongside humans. The species has been alternately seen as an agricultural pest, a sacred animal, and, more recently, the subject of medical experiments.
The rhesus macaque
Species of Old World monkey
The rhesus macaque, colloquially rhesus monkey, is a species of Old World monkey. There are between six and nine recognised subspecies that are split between two groups, the Chinese-derived and the Indian-derived. Generally brown or grey in colour, it is 47–53 cm (19–21 in) in length with a 20.7–22.9 cm (8.1–9.0 in) tail and weighs 5.3–7.7 kg (12–17 lb). It is native to South, Central, and Southeast Asia and has the widest geographic range of all non-human primates, occupying a great diversity of altitudes and a great variety of habitats, from grasslands to arid and forested areas, but also close to human settlements. Feral colonies are found in the United States, thought to be either released by humans or escapees after hurricanes destroyed zoo and wildlife park facilities.
