macaque1: Strayer, Cummins Dominance Among Sub-Adult Macaques

In zalmquist/networkdata: Lin Freeman's Network Data Collection

Description

macaque1: Two 16 by 16 matrices.

BACKGROUND The two tables report dominance encounters in a colony of 16 subadult and juvenile macaque monkeys (Macaca nemestrina) at the Washington Regional Primate Center in Seattle. The first matrix is a record of the number of times the row monkey expressed agressive behaviors (i.e. assault, bite, push-pull, pout-threat, lunge-threat, chase) that resulted in the column monkey showing clear submission (rapid flight, fear-grimace, cringe, withdraw). Individuals are tagged with gender labels; Numbers are males and letters are females.

The second matrix is a record of competition for an object or to occupy a space. A “win" was tabulated when the row monkey got the contested object or occupied the space.
