Abstract

PRIMATOLOGYINUYAMA, JAPAN-- The 100 participants in Research on Long-Lived Animals held here 15 to 18 January discussed the driving force behind male territoriality in chimpanzees, the behavior of gibbons toward long-lost relatives in need, and a successful effort to protect muriquis in Brazil. But they also explored the sociability of primates, with both welcoming and farewell parties and a trip to a traditional Japanese pub.
