Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In this paper we describe tolerated mouth-to-mouth food transfers in captive adult common marmosets, where an animal approached a conspecific that has recently received a piece of food, opened the other's mouth forcefully, and picked food pieces out of it. Tolerated mouth-to-mouth food transfers occurred between animals of both sexes. They were observed when the possessor was subordinate as well as when it was dominant, and in four dyads they were observed in both directions. We argue that this behaviour might have a social function and that the cooperative breeding system of marmosets might have facilitated its evolution. |
