High-ranking vervet monkeys threatened the members of other groups more than did low-ranking individuals, while only low-ranking females and juvenile males interacted affinitively with the members of other groups. Adult males were most aggressive during intergroup encounters with groups from which males transferred. In contrast, females were most aggressive to groups from which males were not observed to transfer. It is postulated that the behavior of individuals during intergroup encounters may be related to benefits derived from excluding intruders from the group's resources. Furthermore, it seems possible that relations between groups are influenced by previous male transfers, and that female aggression affects the distribution of male movement between groups.
地位高的绿猴比地位低的绿猴更频繁地威胁其他群体的成员，而只有地位低的雌性和未成年雄性与其他群体的成员进行友好互动。成年雄性在与有雄性迁入的群体进行群体间遭遇时攻击性最强。相比之下，雌性对没有观察到有雄性迁入的群体攻击性最强。据推测，个体在群体间遭遇时的行为可能与从将入侵者排除在群体资源之外而获得的利益有关。此外，群体之间的关系似乎可能受到先前雄性迁入的影响，并且雌性的攻击性会影响雄性在群体之间迁移的分布。
