Ten years of collaboration between France and Japan - Studies on reproduction in Japanese macaques by Cécile Garcia, Fred Bercovitch, Takeshi Furuichi, Michael A Huffman, Andrew MacInstosh, Lucie Rigaill, Rafaela S C Takeshita, Keiko Shimizu

“…We also investigated the information that male Japanese macaques received from females that might enable them to discern periods with higher probabilities of conception and we developed a research program on the extent to which Japanese macaques, in common with people, have evolved a system of multimodal sexual signaling. We focused on the cues and signals available to males to make their mating decisions, and we provided information on the potential role of female behavior, female skin color, odours and vocalizations as sexual signals. …”
