A critical evaluation of the literature and a cost/benefit analysis suggest that changes in affiliation patterns in female monkeys following the birth of infants should be mediated by female reproductive state and dominance rank and infant characteristics such as age and sex. Several predictions concerning the effects of these variables were tested on dyadic interactions between lactating pigtail macaque (Macaca nemestrina) females and other lactating or pregnant females. Dyads composed of lactating females spent more time in proximity, contact and grooming than dyads composed of lactating and pregnant females. Association with other lactating females was mainly due to lower-ranking females that may gain benefits such as increased tolerance and support from their partners. Infant handling by lactating females had a higher percentage of harassment episodes than handling by pregnant females. Among dyads composed of two lactating females, affiliative interactions were inversely correlated with rank distance. It is suggested that the presence of infants may influence female social dynamics at the group level to a greater extent than previously thought.
对文献的批判性评估和成本效益分析表明，雌性猴子在幼崽出生后归属模式的变化应由雌性生殖状态、优势等级以及幼崽的年龄和性别等特征来介导。关于这些变量影响的几个预测在哺乳期豚尾猕猴（食蟹猴）雌性与其他哺乳期或怀孕雌性之间的二元互动中进行了测试。由哺乳期雌性组成的二元组比由哺乳期和怀孕雌性组成的二元组在接近、接触和梳理方面花费的时间更多。与其他哺乳期雌性的关联主要是由于地位较低的雌性，它们可能从伴侣那里获得诸如更高的容忍度和支持等好处。哺乳期雌性对幼崽的处理中骚扰事件的比例高于怀孕雌性。在由两个哺乳期雌性组成的二元组中，亲和互动与等级距离呈负相关。有人认为，幼崽的存在可能比以前认为的在更大程度上影响群体层面的雌性社会动态。
