Another week, another #naturalist #watercolor: today's Tonkean #macaque!

Famous for their complex #social dynamics and impressive #cognitive abilities, they navigate intricate social hierarchies with amazing tolerance and adaptability, revealing the depth of #primate behavior.

6/6 This pilot study offers exciting perspectives on the use of robots as automat to autonomously record data using artificial intelligence in the field. Future research is planned to test whether monkeys can learn from a robot #AnimBehav2023

4/6 More individuals came within 10m to the robot, and we found no significant effect of rank, age or sex on time spent at that proximity. High rankers displayed more threat and stress related behaviours compared to low rankers #AnimBehav2023

Charlotte Canteloup @chacanteloup.bsky.social · Jan 19

3/6 Who got in close proximity to the robot? Only 5-7/37 individuals approached so close the robot. High rankers significantly spent more time within 1m of the robot with no significant effect of age or sex. Apart an adult male, they were all from the same family #AnimBehav2023

2/6 This remotely controlled robot had one box filled with food on its back. We introduced it gradually: it was first laying down with food in the box and on the ground and then quadrupedal, slightly moving its body and its head with food only inside the box #AnimBehav2023

1/6 Robots are more and more socially accepted by human societies, but what about animal-robot interactions? Can a robot be tolerated by wild animals? We introduced an ANYmal robot to a group of 37 wild vervet monkeys in South Africa over 6 days for about 10h #AnimBehav2023

does a novel feeding habit spread in wild monkeys? We combined a field experiment with Bayesian dynamic learning models and showed that monkeys used the highest payoff processing technique and displayed by higher ranked demonstrators. #AnimBehav2021

6.We suggest that payoff and rank biased learning may explain the spread of feeding habits in vervet monkeys. Even for a relatively simple to process food as peanuts, techniques’ choice is socially driven and do not rely only on individual learning.
