  Title Social relationships and social cognition in nonhuman primates Type Journal Article
  Year 1986 Publication Science (New York, N.Y.) Abbreviated Journal Science  
  Volume 234 Issue 4782 Pages 1361-1366  
  Keywords Animals; *Cognition; Female; Male; Pair Bond; Primates/*physiology; *Social Behavior; Social Dominance; Social Perception  
  Abstract Complex social relationships among nonhuman primates appear to contribute to individual reproductive success. Experiments with and behavioral observations of natural populations suggest that sophisticated cognitive mechanisms may underlie primate social relationships. Similar capacities are usually less apparent in the nonsocial realm, supporting the view that at least some aspects of primate intelligence evolved to solve the challenges of interacting with conspecifics.

  Title Methodological considerations in measurement of dominance in primates Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication CURRENT SCIENCE Abbreviated Journal CURRENT SCIENCE  
  Volume 84 Issue 5 Pages 709-713  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The strength of dominance hierarchy in a group of

animals needs to be quantitatively measured since it

influences many other aspects of social interactions.

This article discusses three attempts made by previous

researchers to measure the strength of hierarchy. We

propose a method which attempts to rectify the lacunae

in the previous attempts. Data are used from a

group of Japanese macaques housed in a colony. A

method to calculate strength of hierarchy has been

illustrated and a procedure has been suggested to

normalize the dominance scores in order to place the

ranks of individuals on an interval scale.

  Title The Mentality of Crows: Convergent Evolution of Intelligence in Corvids and Apes Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Science Abbreviated Journal Science  
  Volume 306 Issue 5703 Pages 1903-1907  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Discussions of the evolution of intelligence have focused on monkeys and apes because of their close evolutionary relationship to humans. Other large-brained social animals, such as corvids, also understand their physical and social worlds. Here we review recent studies of tool manufacture, mental time travel, and social cognition in corvids, and suggest that complex cognition depends on a “tool kit” consisting of causal reasoning, flexibility, imagination, and prospection. Because corvids and apes share these cognitive tools, we argue that complex cognitive abilities evolved multiple times in distantly related species with vastly different brain structures in order to solve similar socioecological problems.

  Title Lemur social behavior and primate intelligence Type Journal Article
  Year 1966 Publication Science Abbreviated Journal Science  
  Volume 153 Issue 3735 Pages 501 - 506  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Our human intellect has resulted from an enormous leap in capacity above the level of monkeys and apes. Earlier, though, Old and New World monkeys' intelligence outdistanced that of other mammals, including the prosimian primates. This first great advance in intelligence probably was selected through interspecific competition on the large continents. However, even at this early stage, primate social life provided the evolutionary context of primate intelligence.

Two arguments support this conclusion. One is ontogenetic: modern monkeys learn so much of their social behavior, and learn their behavior toward food and toward other species through social example. The second is phylogenetic: some prosimians, the social lemurs, have evolved the usual primate type of society and social learning without the capacity to manipulate objects as monkeys do. It thus seems likely that the rudiments of primate society preceded the growth of primate intelligence, made it possible, and determined its nature.

  Title Influence of the rider on the variability of the equine gait Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Human Movement Science Abbreviated Journal European Workshop on Movement Science  
  Volume 23 Issue 5 Pages 663-671  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The aim of this study was to show that the motion pattern of a well-ridden horse varies less than the motion pattern of an unridden horse. In order to do so, we recorded the motion of two markers, one attached to the dorsal spinous processus of lumbar vertebra L4, the other to the right fore hoof. In total, we measured 21 horses in trot, ridden and unridden, with a fitting and with a non-fitting saddle. After breaking down the entire time series of the three-dimensional motion of the markers into their respective motion cycles, we computed a measure of motion pattern variability for the motion as well as for the derivatives (velocity and acceleration) along each of the three principal dimensions. Two of six variables (velocity and acceleration in the forward direction) displayed a significant discrimination between the ridden and the unridden case, and demonstrated the beneficial effect of a rider on the horse's motion pattern variability. Saddle fit was shown to have also an influence on motion variability: variability of two variables (velocity and of acceleration in forward direction) was significantly lower with a fitting saddle compared to a non-fitting saddle, a third variable (acceleration in the transversal direction) showed a significant difference also. This new method offers an objective evaluation of saddle fit, and a sensitive assessment of the quality of the rider in the moving horse.
