This study examines how lethal wildlife management affects non-target vervet monkeys, finding multiscale behavioral and spatial responses that vary by group, time, and habitat.

This study examines male services in vervet monkeys, finding that certain behaviors predict mating success, supporting reputation-based partner choice as a driver of cooperation.

The study examines grooming exchanges between male-female vervet monkeys, finding that females initially invest heavily and reduce grooming over time, while males increase frequency after residency, leading to near reciprocity.

The paper examines how postnatal maternal investment shapes sex-specific social development in wild vervet monkeys, finding that maternal age and rank influence offspring sex ratios, survival, and social integration differently in sons and daughters.

This study examines male vervet monkey leadership in high-risk terrain, finding that dominant males lead more often, especially in risky contexts, suggesting cooperative service rather than paternal care.
