Population patterns and behavioral ecology of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) in Nepal

Activity budgets of feral rhesus troops are described. Adult females were ... three times more active [in grooming] than males. Adults spend about 16% of the time grooming each other.

Opioid blockade and social comfort in chicks

When young animals are separated from their normal social environment in groups they distress vocalize (DV) less than when isolated alone. Opioid blockade with naloxone (1 mg/kg peripherally, and 1 microgram centrally) increased crying more in group tested chicks than...

Endogenous opioids and social behavior

Evidence for the hypothesis that brain-opioids mediate social affect and social attachments is summarized. Opiates and opioids are very effective in reducing social separation-induced distress vocalizations (DVs), in puppies, young guinea pigs and chicks, while opiate antagonists can increase DVs....
