Abstract

Data are presented from a 15-month study on triadic male-infant interactions (‘agonistic buffering’) among wild Barbary macaques, and the ‘agonistic buffering’ hypothesis reevaluated. The sociometrics of triadic interactions derived from the distribution of 535 interactions among individually known adult and subadult males showed that there were significant individual male differences in the frequency of initating and/or receiving triadic interactions, but there were no such differences between the high and low ranking male subgroups (Tables 2–4).
