Abstract
Clear diurnal influences on activity profiles were demonstrated for a group of pigtail monkeys. Temperature, weather and social reorganization variables also influenced the activity profiles. Females were more active than males in agonistic, sexual and grooming responses. An analysis of these categories demonstrated independent determinants. Genealogical relationships clearly influenced many activity patterns but did not preclude sexual interactions. Maternal care patterns indicated that biological aunts frequently showed ‘aunt’ role behavior.
