Abstract :
[en] During this workshop, we presented ongoing research on the social dynamics of tool use in long-tailed macaques on Koram Island, Thailand. Males were more likely to use tools than females. Dominance rank did not influence overall position in the grooming network, but males and females showed opposite patterns in how rank related to the number of grooming partners. Tool users and non-tool users occupied similarly central positions in the grooming network.
