[An ethological approach in the study of nonverbal communication in man and chimpanzee].

The nonverbal communication of man and chimpanzee has been studied. Sexual dimorphism of nonverbal communication patterns, which is connected with the definite contexts of behavior are revealed. Possible ways of evolution in communication systems i shown. This analysis will permit to apply the data of ethological investigation of nonverbal behavior as sexual marker in diagnosis of different groups of mentally ill patients.

[The sexual behavior of the primates].

The article presents the review of modern data of the field and laboratory investigations of primate sexual behavior, cyclicity, reproductive strategies and copulation in different primates taxa: strepsirrhini, platyrrhyni, catarrhini. The specific character, progressiveness and adaptation of some reproductive models are discussed by the authors. A problem of connection between dominance and reproductive success is also discussed, the role of sexual teaching in postnatal ontogenesis, age and hormonal status for expression of sexual behavior are analysed. Some forms of sexual declinations in primates are considered.

[The effect of substance P on the individual and group behaviors of rhesus monkeys].

The tendencies in the substance P influence on the expression of individual and group behaviour of adult males of rhesus macaques have been studied on the background of cardiopathogenic emotional stress (CES) and without it. CES stimulated the general activity of rhesus macaques in the individual cages, while the substance P injection without CES increased the frequency and duration of pathologic behavioral patterns. The maximal influence of substance P was expressed on the 3-4 day of experiments. On the 5th day the intensification of locomotion and social activity was found during the settling of all individuals in the large cage. The definite regularity of connection between the value of arterial pressure before and after experiments and the individual's social ranks is found. The injection of substance P on the CES background and without it the second-ranking individuals stood more hard, the leader and the most subordinated individuals stood easier.

[The use of tools by primates: definition, criteria and hypotheses of its appearance in anthropogenesis].

The different approaches to the definition of "tool-using" and "tool" are discussed. The definitions of tool-using are given, the hypotheses of the tool-using origin in phylogenesis of primates: emotional, social tradition, playing, accumulations' objects are adduced. The modern data on tool-using for catching ants and termites, for cracking palm-nuts by wild chimpanzees under natural inhabitation, population and sex differences in tool-using are given. A conclusion has been made that tool-using in apes is qualitatively new form of behaviour arising in phylogenesis of primates and demonstrating us prerequisity of tool-using of early hominids.

[Factor and cluster analysis on the study of mimetic communication in monkeys].

The mimics elements, typical mimic complexes and frequency of mimics display in different behavioral contexts in representatives of 10 species of monkeys and apes have been investigated. The methods of factor and cluster analyses have been applied to reveal a connection between mimics and phylogenetical level of the species. A dendrogram of interspecies relationships is presented. The type of species social structure is one of the main factors in mimic communication development.

[Gestural forms of communication in primates. II. The relation of gestures to acoustic signals and tool activities in primate phylogeny].

The connection between the frequency of acoustic signals application, contact and gestural communication and the manipulation activity of Cercopithecidea and Anthropoidea have been examined. A scheme reflecting the changes of correlational behavioural systems at different periods of primate phylogenesis is proposed. The behavioural changes in the connections of gestures, vocalisation and manipulation activity during the process of their transition into the language and labour on the way to hominization are shown. On the basis of the exact data a possible role of gestural an acoustic signals in the origin of language is given.

[Gestural forms of communication in primates. I. Development of gestural forms of communication in ontogenesis and phylogenesis].

The gestural and tactile forms of communication using arms among the young and adult specimen of lower monkeys of subfamily Cercopithecoidea and higher monkeys of subfamily Hominioidea have been investigated. It has been concluded that gestures are the new form of phylogenesis in comparison with the contact patterns, their development is generally connected with the aggressive behaviour. The growing differentiation of gestures connected with the transition from participation of the whole arm to the leading role of the hand and finger gestures has been determined. The frequency of gestures is closely connected with the species structural organization and ecology.

[Effect of stress-inducing factors on monkey behavior. II. Hormonal indices and their relation to behavior in the modelling of emotional stress in hamadryas baboons].

The behavioural and hormonal indexes of adult males Papio hamadryas have been examined under condition of immobilized stress. The intercommunication between the hormonal status of the individual and its position in the hierarchical structure of the group is marked. The leader of the group possesses the mostly constant hormonal content during the different periods of the stress. The equal speed of reconstruction of hormonal concentration and behavioural indexes has been found. The different types of correlation between the level of adrenaline, cortisol and testosterone secretion and the frequency of aggressive behaviour have been observed.

[Effect of stressor factors on the behavior of monkeys. III. The behavior of rhesus macaques during immobilization stress].

The three-hour immobilizational stress in two groups of males of rhesus monkeys at the age of 7-8 and 10-12 years has been investigated. The reaction on the stress has been established to depend on the age of animals. The young males bear the stress easier, their behaviour after it is practically normal. The normal behaviour of the elder animals restores during 24 hours after immobilization. A comparative analysis of hamadryas baboons and rhesus monkeys behaviour during this type of stress has been carried out. These species differ by their reaction on stress: Papio hamadryas serve as a model of hard depressive stress, the rhesus monkeys--a model of slight-stimulative stress. The peculiarities of stress bearing depend on the selected species, age of the animal, the type of social organization and individual features of behaviour.

[Effect of stress-inducing factors on the behavior of monkeys. I. The behavior of monkeys under acute emotional stress].

The behavior of Papio hamadryas pubertal males under the immobilizational stress conditions has been studied. It has been established that this very type of stress appeared to be a powerful irritant for the individuals of this species and age leading them into the depression state. The process of normalization of behavior after the 2-hour immobilization lasted for about 72 h. The main consequences of the stress were the violation of locomotion, the reception by individuals of unnatural postures, the trembling of limbs and the violation of coordination. The reaction of stress was greatly influenced by the position of individual in the hierarchic system. The dominant (alpha) and the most subdominant (z) males bore the stress easier. The intensification of food activity was marked within the male z. In certain period after the immobilization the tendency of the growth of friendly contacts between the individuals was found. The frequency of aggressive behavior after the stress lowered. The violation of manipulation activity was also marked. These regularities are of great importance for the reconstruction of group social behavior models of protohominid's societies.

[Ethological analysis of monkey behavior in biomedical research].

The importance of ethological analysis of primates behaviour during the medicobiologic research has been shown. The concrete examples of methods of differentiation and registration of behavioral patterns in the models of psychoemotional stress in primates are given. The systemic approach to the study of behaviour allows to determine the behavioral data of the individual state--the composition of functional spheres, the number of elements, the frequency of their appearance, the system of domination-subjection characteristics of the sequences of behavioral acts and to find out their dynamics in different stages of experiment. The comparison of these data with physiologicobiochemical data is necessary to obtain the integral picture of individual reaction to the experimental factors.
