Abstract

Adult rhesus pairs were significantly less likely to be fully compatible (16%) than adult baboon pairs (64%), adult pig-tailed pairs (51%) and adult long-tailed pairs (67%). Our results indicate that male-male pairs can be fully compatible and should not be excluded from socialization attempts,
