Abstract:
The causes of aggression in coral monkeys have been considered taking into account the composition of conflicting pairs and the forms of aggression. It was established that more than 85% of the aggressive interactions occurring on the background of a group calmness, were noted in a context of avoidance of closeness with an undesirable partner, demonstration of hierarchical status, competition for closeness to a preferable partner, competition for the resources, the defense of an infant, and complications during the play and sexual herding.
