Inter‐Mount Social Interactions During Heterosexual and Homosexual Consortships in Japanese Macaques
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In this study, we examined whether female Japanese macaques ( Macaca fuscata ) exhibited male‐typical patterns of inter‐mount social behaviour during homosexual consortships. Data were collected on heterosexual and homosexual consortships from a population of free‐ranging Japanese macaques in Arashiyama, Japan. Inter‐mount intervals were defined as the period between two consecutive mounts. A total of 3374 heterosexual inter‐mount intervals and 1412 homosexual inter‐mount intervals were analysed. We examined nine different categories of inter‐mount behaviour. Sex differences between heterosexually consorting males and females existed for three of the inter‐mount behaviours we examined (i.e. ventral‐to‐dorsal orientation, aggression directed toward third party individuals, tree‐shaking displays). The subordinate female partners in homosexually consorting pairs exhibited some sex‐atypical inter‐mount behaviours. This sex‐atypicality did not appear to reflect generalized developmental canalization in the direction of a male‐typical suite of behaviours. Rather, the observed behavioural sex‐atypicality could be best explained in terms of the unique alliance‐related dynamics that characterized homosexual consortships in Japanese macaques.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
