In the present study, relations between same-sex sexual behavior (SSB), age-class, and coalitional behavior in male rhesus macaques were examined in a re-analysis of data first analyzed and reported by Clive et al. (2023). Age-class as a focal variable was indicated in an extensive literature review, which showed that male non-adult (juvenile, adolescent) participation in SSB is extensive in this and related primate species and associated with various benefits. Clive et al. (2023) excluded juveniles from their analysis. In the re-analysis (n = 995 mounting events), it was found that non-adult involvement was substantial (51%). Most dyads contained at least one non-adult (76%). Young and prime adult mounters most often selected non-adults to mount. Mounters were often sexually motivated: most for adolescents (72%); equally for juveniles (57%) and adults (56%). Finally, the highest rate of SSB with coalitional context appeared in adolescent–adult dyads involved in multiple repeated mounts. SSB, age-class, special friendships, bonding, and coalitions were linked, as reported in some other primate species and human societies cross-culturally. Employing age-class in male SSB analysis improved description and explanation.

雄性恒河猴 (Macaca mulatta) 的同性性行为、年龄等级和联盟
在本研究中,对 Clive 等人(2023 年)首次分析和报告的数据进行了重新分析,研究了雄性恒河猴的同性性行为 (SSB)、年龄等级和联盟行为之间的关系。一项广泛的文献综述表明年龄组是一个焦点变量,该文献综述表明,男性非成人(青少年、青少年)参与 SSB 在该灵长类动物物种和相关灵长类动物物种中广泛存在,并与各种益处相关。Clive 等人(2023 年)将幼鱼排除在他们的分析之外。在重新分析 (n = 995 个安装事件) 中,发现非成人参与很大 (51%)。大多数二元组至少包含一个非成年 (76%)。年轻和主要成年的镶嵌者最常选择非成年的镶嵌者进行镶嵌。安装者通常是出于性动机:大多数是青少年 (72%);青少年 (57%) 和成人 (56%) 相同。最后,具有联盟背景的 SSB 发生率最高的是参与多次重复坐骑的青少年-成人二人组。SSB、年龄组、特殊友谊、纽带和联盟是相互关联的,正如其他一些灵长类物种和跨文化人类社会所报道的那样。在男性 SSB 分析中使用年龄组改进了描述和解释。
