| Research Abstract |
Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) live in highly hierarchical societies and high-ranking monkeys attack subordinates so as to monopolize provisions. Regional differences in the frequency of aggressive behavior are well-documented. I found that these regional differences between the Katsuyama group (Maniwa city Okayama prefecture, Japan) and Awajishima group (Sumoto city Hyogo prefecture, Japan) were associated with frequencies of two aggression-related candidate genes in wild Japanese macaques.
