Rank relations of juvenile and subadult natal males of XXXX ( @entity34108 ) at Affenberg Salem.

@entity1 @entity2608 @entity34108
Rank relations of more than 100 juvenile and subadult natal @entity34108 males were analyzed. Hierarchical relations among individuals of the same age were established early during the first year of life. With few exceptions concerning @entity1 from very high-ranking genealogies, males dominated female peers regardless of maternal rank. Males started to outrank females from older cohorts during the second year of life and completed the process of rank reversal with adult females at 5-6 years of age. An age-graded dominance pattern existed among males from different birth cohorts. Only 3 rank reversals between males from different cohorts were observed. Rank reversals among males of the same birth cohort occurred more frequently. Rank position of a male among his male peers was influenced by birth order, by maternal rank, and by the presence of juvenile brothers. Most males without juvenile brothers had low positions, regardless of maternal rank. Males born late in the birth season were also low-ranking, even when juvenile brothers were present. There was no cohort where ranking among males was determined by maternal rank alone, as is the case in @entity2608 and Japanese macaques. Adult/subadult male carriers had no noticeable effect on rank positions of 'their' @entity1 . It is suggested that a weaker influence of @entity34108 mothers on rank of their sons is related to very early integration of male @entity1 in male social/play groups.
