Higher social tolerance in wild versus captive common marmosets: the role of interdependence

Abstract Social tolerance in a group reflects the balance between within-group competition and interdependence: whereas increased competition leads to a reduction in social tolerance, increased interdependence increases it. Captivity reduces both feeding competition and interdependence and can there...
