The causes of intragroup aggression in rhesus macaques.
The causes of aggression in rhesus macaques kept in a corral are considered with cognizance of the composition of conflicting pairs and the types of aggression. More than 85% of cases of aggressive interactions seen on the background of a peaceful setting in the group were found to occur in the context of avoiding proximity to the unwanted partner, demonstration of hierarchical status, protection of offspring, complications of play, and sexual pursuit.
