	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	Observation Learning in Cats			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1968	Publication	Science	Abbreviated Journal	Science
	Volume	159	Issue	3822	Pages	1489-1491
	Keywords
	Abstract	In two experiments cats acquired a stimulus-controlled approach or avoidance response by observational or conventional shaping procedures. Observer cats acquired the avoidance response (hurdle jumping in response to a buzzer stimulus) significantly faster and made fewer errors than cats that were conventionally trained. Observer cats acquired the approach response (lever pressing for food in response to a light stimulus) with significantly fewer errors than cats that were conventionally trained. In some cases, observer cats committed one or no errors while reaching criterion.

	Title	Monkey responses to three different alarm calls: evidence of predator classification and semantic communication			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1980	Publication	Science (New York, N.Y.)	Abbreviated Journal	Science
	Volume	210	Issue	4471	Pages	801-803
	Keywords	Animal Communication; Animals; Behavior, Animal/physiology; Cercopithecidae/physiology; Fear; Female; Male; Predatory Behavior; Vocalization, Animal
	Abstract	Vervet monkeys give different alarm calls to different predators. Recordings of the alarms played back when predators were absent caused the monkeys to run into trees for leopard alarms, look up for eagle alarms, and look down for snake alarms. Adults call primarily to leopards, martial eagles, and pythons, but infants give leopard alarms to various mammals, eagle alarms to many birds, and snake alarms to various snakelike objects. Predator classification improves with age and experience.

	Title	The evolution of cooperation			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1981	Publication	Science	Abbreviated Journal	Science
	Volume	211	Issue	4489	Pages	1390-1396
	Keywords
	Abstract	Cooperation in organisms, whether bacteria or primates, has been a difficulty for evolutionary theory since Darwin. On the assumption that interactions between pairs of individuals occur on a probabilistic basis, a model is developed based on the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy in the context of the Prisoner's Dilemma game. Deductions from the model, and the results of a computer tournament show how cooperation based on reciprocity can get started in an asocial world, can thrive while interacting with a wide range of other strategies, and can resist invasion once fully established. Potential applications include specific aspects of territoriality, mating, and disease.

	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	Cooperative Hunting Harris' Hawks (Parabuteo unicinctus)			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1988	Publication	Science	Abbreviated Journal	Science
	Volume	239	Issue	4847	Pages	1525-1527
	Keywords
	Abstract	Coordinated hunting by several individuals directed toward the capture and sharing of one Large prey animal has been documented convincingly only for a few mammalian carnivores. In New Mexico, Harris' hawks formed hunting parties of two to six individuals in the nonbreeding season. This behavior improved capture success and the average energy available per individual enabled hawks to dispatch prey larger than themselves. These patterns suggest that cooperation is important to understanding the evolution of complex social behavior in higher vertebrates and, specifically, that benefits derived from team hunting a key factor in the social living of Harris' hawks.

	Title	Complementary hemispheric specialization in monkeys			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1988	Publication	Science	Abbreviated Journal	Science
	Volume	242	Issue	4886	Pages	1691-1694
	Keywords
	Abstract	Twenty-five split-brain monkeys were taught to discriminate two types of visual stimuli that engage lateralized cerebral processing in human subjects. Differential lateralization for the two kinds of discriminations was found; the left hemisphere was better at distinguishing between tilted lines and the right hemisphere was better at discriminating faces. These results indicate that lateralization of cognitive processing appeared in primates independently of language or handedness. In addition, cerebral lateralization in monkeys may provide an appropriate model for studying the biological basis of hemispheric specialization.

	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.
