This study was conducted on Japanese macaques at Iwatayama Monkey Park, Arashiyama, Kyoto, Japan. Japanese macaque society is characterized by strong despotism and nepotism (Thierry, 2000). Macaques form female bonded troops, and maternal kin help one another with agonistic interactions (Chapais et al., 1997). ................
