Territorial conflicts: Scientists overtake monkeys by avoiding war through imitation

Researchers have made the discovery while studying the behavior of 15 Tamamine monkeys in Brazil, writes Independent.

Though it was hard to recognize species, scientists heard the same sounds along the parts of the forest in which they timed.

This led to the sense that red-headed tamarines were imitating the long calls made by wet tamarines as they entered the territory of other Primats.

Tainara Sobroza, the leading researcher who works at the Instituto Nacional de Pasquisas da Amasionia, said: “We discovered that only red-headed tamars change their calls with the ones of the tamars we wash, and that happens in places where they shoot together. ”

“Why their calls are converted into this form is not very certain, but it is possible to help identify when protecting territories or being fought for resources,” she added. /Periscope
