Primates exhibit the richest cultural repertoire among animal taxa, spanning foraging, communication, sociality and tool use. Understanding behaviours of primates has strongly influenced study behaviour challenged traditional views that culture is exclusive to humans. With nearly 60% primate species endangered owing human-driven habitat changes, recent calls have emerged integrate diversity into conservation strategies. However, integration requires careful planning avoid misallocation resources or skewed priorities. Our review reveals studies on are limited less than 3% extant species, largely taxonomic methodological biases favouring long-term observations in protected habitats. We propose including policies can broaden scope research, fostering more inclusive agendas address taxa with diverse habitats underexplored traits. Furthermore, anthropogenic changes both erode foster behaviours, emphasizing need for context-specific suggest recognizing traits frameworks may enhance resilience populations changing environments. This approach promises a comprehensive equitable allocation efforts, preserving biological primates.This article part theme issue 'Animal culture: world'.

Abstract Studies of the evolution language rely heavily on comparisons to nonhuman primates, particularly gestural communication apes. Differences between human and ape gestures are largely ones degree rather than kind. For example, while more flexible, not in flexible. In this piece, I closely consider two features apes humans that might display differences kind: iconicity temporal alignment . Iconicity has long played a privileged role theories origins, proposal being it provided steppingstone into through stage pantomime. However, is as easy seems. Evidence from co‐speech hearing children homesign suggests iconic reference both cognitively complex slow develop humans. There no conclusive evidence understand or produce gestures; some may appear observers but themselves similarity form meaning. Far providing an pathway emergence symbolic communication, relies sophisticated capacities for analogy abstraction, often lacking young children. Temporal gesture vocalization another area show sharp contrasts adult apes, though data here sparser. discuss tight synchronization speech emerges over first year life contrast with which typically described overlapping simultaneous. Human ancestors probably communicated ways similar other dual ability use hand mouth have set our down unique evolutionary road toward language.

The concepts of social learning and exploration have been central to debates in comparative cognition research. While their roles the origins human cumulative culture on one hand creativity other highlighted, two mostly studied separately. In this article, we examine relationship between adopting similar or different behaviours within a group, focusing how exploitation shape primate communication systems. Using approach, discuss similarity differentiation communicative behaviour can be viewed as endpoints continuum, impacting both individual- group-level behavioural variation. variation is evident some ape (e.g. foraging traditions), individual appears outweigh differences, making widespread apes unlikely. Drawing parallels language acquisition infants, propose that follows an exploration–exploitation trajectory, with initial gradually giving way focused genetically predisposed and/or individually developed repertoires. By integrating processes underlying behaviour, gain deeper understanding tensions systems across species.

ABSTRACT Primatological research by anthropologists and evolutionary biologists based in Canada has expanded greatly since its inception ca. 60 years ago. The foci of the founding primatologists were on study social behaviors to understand human behavior. While Canadian have remained interested how our nonhuman primate relatives can inform understanding own species, today currently active generations researchers are running labs groups focused a broad range questions species using an scope methods everything from molecules metapopulations. We envisioned that this issue papers would highlight innovative being conducted facilitate further collaboration among researchers, as well providing potentially useful introduction for students postdocs pursuing primatology Canada. begin with historical description started developed Canada, focusing three founders behavioral ‐ Frances Burton, Linda Fedigan, Bernard Chapais. then assess next field significantly. take roughly geographical approach, west east, describing current programs done across topics investigated. As part overview, we also introduce 18 special issue.

Abstract This article examines contemporary efforts to control climate change through the lens of social systems theory, particularly by drawing comparisons rain dances and shamanic rituals. It argues that modern strategies bear functional similarities archaic rituals aimed at influencing weather patterns, despite absence direct causality. Using Niklas Luhmann's concepts autopoietic equivalence, demonstrates both historical approaches influence rely on blame‐shifting mechanisms production scapegoats, with failure often attributed not or solutions themselves but noncompliance impurity among participants. The originality this lies in its application theory link ancient rituals, positioning them as functionally equivalent phenomena. By between shamanistic practices, corporate consulting, global governance, provides a unique for understanding primary function may be regulate behaviour rather than achieving concrete natural environmental outcomes.

Abstract To date, research on gestural communication in species other than great apes has been quite limited, especially their natural habitat. In this study, we aimed to explore the use of sequences an understudied neotropical primate species, Geoffroy’s spider monkeys ( Ateles geoffroyi ). aim, conducted behavioural observations via focal sampling a wild group consisting 54 individuals and collected 709 gestures, including 125 182 gestures that were not part sequence. Most included 2-4 produced play context. Sequences often continued even after triggering recipient’s response mostly by males younger individuals, toward recipients. Only three (i.e., embrace-pectoral sniff, push-present climb, grab-grab pull) occurred more twice mere repetitions same gesture type. Our results suggest are common they likely result increased emotional arousal, rather attempt convey novel meaning.

Abstract Tool use diversity is often considered to differentiate our two closest living relatives: the chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ) and bonobo P. paniscus ). Chimpanzees appear have largest repertoire of tools amongst nonhuman primates, in this species, many forms tool enhance food water acquisition. In captivity, bonobos seem as adept chimpanzees complexity, including foraging context. However, wild, only been observed engaging habitual contexts comfort, play, self-directed behaviour communication, whilst no tool-assisted acquisition has reported. Whereas captive for drinking, so far, report from wild populations comes down four observations moss sponges used at Lomako. Here, we present first form scooping by a LuiKotale. An adult female was videotaped using an emptied Cola chlamydantha pod scoop drink stream. We discuss conditions such importance looking out rare behaviours attempt put observation into context opportunity versus necessity hypotheses. By adding novel information on use, contributes ongoing efforts population-specific traits behavioural ecology bonobo.
