- Network analysis highlights socio-demographic patterns of stone tool-using primatesPublication . Gwennan T. L. Giraud; O’Malley, Theo D. R.; Reeves, Jonathan S.; Tan, Amanda; Sosa, Sebastian; Malaivijitnond, Suchinda; Luncz, Lydia V.While the nutritional benefits and social learning of tool use in primates have been widely studied, far less is known about how tool use is associated with social life. We investigated the social aspects of tool use in a hybrid population of long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis aurea × M. f. fascicularis) on Koram Island, Thailand, comprising both stone tool users and non-users. To assess potential socio-demographic patterns, we examined whether tool use differed between sexes and whether it was related to variation in dominance rank. Using social network analyses, we assessed whether tool users differed in their associations outside foraging contexts by analyzing their grooming interactions and positions within the grooming network. Males were more likely to use tools than females, whereas rank was unrelated to tool use. Tool users and non-users showed similar social connectivity, grooming rates, and numbers of grooming partners. However, grooming networks indicated that non-tool users preferentially associated with other non-users, whereas tool users showed no affiliative bias. By integrating individual characteristics with social network data, this study provides insight into how tool-use behavior integrates into primate social systems, particularly in populations with substantial variation in technological behavior.
- Tool skill impacts the archaeological evidence across technological primatesPublication . Luncz, Lydia V.; Slania, Nora E.; Almeida-Warren, Katarina; Carvalho, Susana; Falótico, Tiago; Malaivijitnond, Suchinda; Arroyo, Adrián; Torre, Ignacio de la; Proffitt, TomosThe archaeological record offers insights into our evolutionary past by revealing ancient behaviour through stone and fossil remains. Percussive foraging is suggested to be particularly relevant for the emergence of tool-use in our lineage, yet early hominin percussive behaviours remain largely understudied compared to flaked technology. Stone tool-use of extant primates allows the simultaneous investigation of their artefacts and the associated behaviours. This is important for understanding the development of tool surface modification, and crucial for interpreting damage patterns in the archaeological record. Here, we compare the behaviour and the resulting material record across stone tool-using primates. We investigate the relationship of nut-cracking technique and stone tool modification across chimpanzees, capuchins, and long-tailed macaques by conducting standardized field experiments with comparable raw materials. We show that different techniques likely emerged in response to diverse nut hardness, leading to variation in foraging success across species. Our experiments further demonstrate a correlation between techniques and the intensity of visible percussive damage on the tools. Tools used with more precision and efficiency as demonstrated by macaques, show fewer use wear traces. This suggests that some percussive techniques may be less readily identified in the archaeological record.

We suggest that the thousands of field stations worldwide can play key roles at the frontline of biodiversity conservation and have high intrinsic value. We assessed field stations’ conservation return on investment and explored the impact of COVID-19. We surveyed leaders of field stations across tropical regions that host primate research; 157 field stations in 56 countries responded. Respondents reported improved habitat quality and reduced hunting rates at over 80% of field stations and lower operational costs per km2 than protected areas, yet half of those surveyed have less funding now than in 2019. Spatial analyses support field station presence as reducing deforestation. These “earth observatories” provide a high return on investment; we advocate for increased support of field station programs and for governments to support their vital conservation efforts by investing accordingly.
