{ "pk": 49964, "title": "Socially Situated Navigation: Social Rank and Sex Influence Spatial Navigation Strategies in Japanese Macaques", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Primates' social interactions are grounded in temporal and spatial\nrelationships, with physical proximity commonly used to assess\naffiliation, dominance, and tolerance. Yet proximity is often treated\nas a static, categorical measure rather than a dynamic, continuous\nprocess. Here, we combine computer vision and environmental\nmarkers to precisely quantify short-range social distances in two\ngroups of Japanese macaques housed in large outdoor enclosures.\nOur social tolerance test results show that, when entering a\nfood-baited circle, macaques positioned themselves at\ngreater-than-chance distances from conspecifics, particularly to\ndominants. Furthermore, lower-ranking individuals tended to\nfollow more indirect paths before approaching the food resource,\nsuggesting they weigh social risks alongside physical positioning.\nBy treating social proximity as a dynamic process, our study\nprovides new insights into how primates navigate social and\nphysical environments. This illustrates the potential of our method\nfor more nuanced measures of group organization, tolerance, and\ndecision-making.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Biology; Computer Science; Psychology; Animal cognition; Interactive behavior; Machine learning; Situated cognition; Social cognition" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5482q5v0", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Stephan", "middle_name": "P.", "last_name": "Kaufhold", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California San Diego", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jack", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Terwilliger", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, San Diego", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Federico", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Rossano", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of California, San Diego", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2025-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49964/galley/37926/download/" } ] }
