- Title
Dynamics of Intergroup Relationships in Primates: Introduction to the Special Issue.

- Abstract
Intergroup relationships vary greatly among primate species from peaceful intermingling in some species, to the consistent defense of territorial borders in others, to ritualized signaling of resource-holding potential, aggressive stand-offs, or even lethal attacks. They form an integrative part of primate social systems and affect and are affected by male and female reproductive strategies, population density and patterns of intergroup spacing, intergroup communication systems, and dispersal regimes. By exploring this across the primate order, this special issue highlights the complexity and diversity of the relationships among social groups and contributes to our comprehension of the relative influences of social, ecological, and genetic factors shaping primate sociality. Answering these questions across many primate species will move forward the field of primate behavioral ecology by considering the relationships between neighboring social groups as a core component of the social structure in describing primate species' social systems ( I sensu i Kappeler [19]).
