  Title Matrilineal kin relationship and social behavior of wild bonobos (Pan paniscus): Sequencing the D-loop region of mitochondrial DNA Type Journal Article
  Year 1996 Publication Primates Abbreviated Journal Primates  
  Volume 37 Issue 3 Pages 305-318-318  
  Keywords Biomedical and Life Sciences  
  Abstract Matrilineal kin-relations among wild bonobos (Pan paniscus) were studied by DNA analysis. Subject individuals were the members of E1 group, living at Wamba, Zaire, which has been studied since 1974. DNA samples were extracted from wadges that bonobos spat out when feeding on sugar cane. The D-loop region of mitochondrial DNA was amplified by the PCR method, and a nucleotide sequence of 350 base pairs was determined for 17 individuals. Nucleotide variations were found at 44 positions of the sequence. Based on these variations, 13 matrilineal units were divided into seven groups, and the mother of an orphan male was determined among several females. These genetic analyses, together with behavioral observation to date, revealed the following facts. High sequence variation in the target region indicated that females transfer between groups of bonobos, which is in agreement with supposition from long-term field studies. For females, there was no relationship between genetic closeness and social closeness that is represented by frequencies of proximity or grooming. After immigration into a new group, females form social associations with senior females without regard to kin relationship.

  Title Social manipulation causes cooperation in keas Type Journal Article
  Year 1996 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 52 Issue 1 Pages 1-10  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Abstract. This study assessed whether keas,Nestor notabilis, are able to cooperate in an instrumental task. Seven birds of a captive group were tested in group situations and in dyads. At least two individuals had to manipulate an apparatus to obtain food but only one participant was rewarded. One bird had to push down a lever to enable another one to collect food from a box. The distribution of the two different roles was clearly dependent on hierarchy. The higher ranking individual always obtained the reward and each bird changed its role according to dominance status. Owing to the non-linear hierarchy in the group, each bird participating in cooperative interactions had at least one submissive partner. Therefore, in group situations the reward was distributed symmetrically and cooperation was persistent. In dyadic test situations, three individual keas aggressively manipulated their respective subordinate partners to open the apparatus. Their dominance status enabled them to force cooperation.

  Title Search behavior in cats and dogs Interspecific differences in working memory and spatial cognition Type Journal Article
  Year 1996 Publication Animal Learning & Behavior Abbreviated Journal Anim Learn. & Behav.  
  Volume 24 Issue 2 Pages 142-149  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Cats and dogs search behavior was compared in different problems where an object was visibly

moved behind a screen that was then visibly moved to a new position. In Experiments 1 (cats) and 2 (dogs),

one group was tested with identical screens and the other group was tested with dissimilar screens.

Results showed that in both species, search behavior was based on processing of spatial information

rather than on recognition of the visual features of the target screen. Cats and dogs were unable to find

the object by inferring its invisible movement. They reached a high level of success only if there was

direct perceptual evidence that the object could not be at its initial position. When the position change

was indicated by an indirect cue, cats searched more at the object`s initial than final position, whereas

dogs searched equally at both positions. Interspecific similarities and differences are interpreted in

terms of the requirements for resetting working memory.

  Title [Social dominance and rank relationships in domestic pigs: a critical review] Type Journal Article
  Year 1996 Publication Berliner und Munchener Tierarztliche Wochenschrift Abbreviated Journal Berl Munch Tierarztl Wochenschr  
  Volume 109 Issue 11-12 Pages 457-464  
  Keywords Animals; Animals, Domestic; Animals, Wild; Female; Male; Models, Psychological; *Social Behavior; *Social Dominance; Swine/*psychology  
  Abstract Viewing dominance as an attribute of repeated agonistic interactions between two individuals, the present paper reviews theoretical approaches towards concepts of dominance, methods of measurement, and basic principles and problems connected with social dominance in domestic pigs. Domestic pigs are able to establish social organization structures during all stages of their ontogeny. According to definition, dominance relationships occur when a consistent asymmetry of the result of dyadic agonistic interactions can be assessed. This must not necessarily be connected immediately with a better availability of resources, or a high stability of existing dominance relationships, or a functional definition of dominance. When sociometric characteristics are calculated, it seems to be appropriate to use them for different levels of a biological system (individual, individual pair, group). Investigations of social behaviour and dominance in farm animals should take into account that mechanisms of social behaviour in confined environments are often carried out in parts only. Connections of the dominance concept with other concepts of behavioural regulation should be theoretically considered and further investigated by experimental studies.
