霊長類行動学13. 父子関係
Male infant interactions
- 5 classifications of male and infant interaction
- 1. Intensive
- 2. affiliative
- 3. Occasional Affiliative
- 4. Tolerance
- 5. Use and Abuse
1. Intensive
- e.g.,
- all Callitrichids - classic case
- Aotus
- Hylobates syndatylus
- Macaca Sylvanus
Callitrichids
- mothers regularly have twins
- in total up to 25% of mother's weight at birth
- high energetic demand to produce high protein milk
- carrying infant around and catching bugs cost too much on top of it
- so males provide share patterning by doing including
- carry offspring
- grooming
- protect
- confort
- everything except nursing
- mating patterns like polyandry or monogamy is rare. but in this case,
- small
- twin
- diet is insect
- so, males are FORCED not to be polygyny.
Hylobates
- male carries and protect
Macaca Sylvanus
- Weird
- Promiscuous mating
- like other macaque, male dominance hierarchy
- distinct mating season, agonistic hierarchy
- live in high altitude - Atlus mountain (North Africa)\
- eat pine nale
- form coalition, male bonding in spite of its hierarchy
- female roam around and mate all males in order
- male carries and protect children
- ritual male interaction
- passing children around between males. (play with kids?)
2. Affiliative
- e.g.,
- Alouatta pigra
- Macaque autetoides
- Papio cynocephalvs
- Papio hamadryas
- Gorilla
- Homo
- Affiliative behavior is
- not same as parental care
- male affiliative bond with kids
- know he is my children
- take playground, etc
- but no substantial parental care
- characterized by spatial proximity
- species specific things
3. Occasional Affiliative
- Short-end of affiliative
- i.e., like affiliative, but less frequent. less consistantly.
- e.g., Chimp, Gerad
- in multi male species, they become affiliative
- when dominant male lose status
- to avoid new dominant to kill his children
- when new male moves into group
- suddenly all become affiliative to protect their children
- when dominant male lose status
- Interesting example
- Therapithecus
- young male affiliate with kids, but the kids is a young female for future mating opportunity.
- no tension between her father because the female is his daughter
- young male affiliate with kids, but the kids is a young female for future mating opportunity.
- Therapithecus
4. Tolerance -- most are
- common pattern
- don't really care, don't kill
- neutral
5. Use and Abuse
- two types
- 1. agonistic buffering - use
- 2. infanticide - abuse
Agonistic buffering - "kidnapping"
- i.e., "infant use", "infant carrying", "counter carrying", "tripartite velations", "triatic male infant interactions"
- e.g.,
- Papio
- Therapeticus
- happen in all multi-male group
- 1. kidnapping
- male picks up a child the opponent likes to reduce tention
- 子供を人質にとって攻撃をやめさせる。
- 2. variant - "passport"
- use children as a passport to approach to hateful other male
- 3. variant
- affiliate with kids to approach female
- humans do the same thing
