In the present study, we examined the effects of the other's triadic attention to objects on visual search performances in chimpanzees. We found the search-asymmetry-like effect of the other's attentional state; the chimpanzees searched a target object not attended by the other individual more efficiently than that attended (Experiment 1). Additional experiments explored the possibility that the other individual "holding an object but not looking at it" led to expectancy violation (Experiment 2) or the role of nonsocial cues such as the proximity relation between the head and the object (Experiment 3). Still, these accounts alone did not explain this effect. It was also shown that the other's attentional state affected the chimpanzees' performances more readily as the interference effect than the facilitation effect (Experiment 4). Furthermore, the same effect was observed in the visual search for the gaze (head direction) of others (Experiment 5). We obtained the same results using photographs of chimpanzees (Experiment 6). Contrary to the chimpanzees, humans detected the object to which attention was directed more efficiently than vice versa (Experiment 7). The present results may reflect species differences between chimpanzees and humans in processing triadic social attention.

The Influence of Provisioning on the Intergroup Relationships of Rhesus Macaque in Hainan, China.

Intergroup competition for limited resources is a significant selection pressure that drives the evolution of animal society. The rhesus macaque (Macaca Mulatta) is the most widely distributed nonhuman primate in the world and can adapt well to environments disturbed by humans. In some areas, human provisioning provides ample food resources for rhesus macaques, leading to an increase in their population size, inevitably affecting competition patterns within and between groups.

The hypothalamic neuropeptide and hormone oxytocin are of fundamental importance for maternal, social, and sexual behavior. Deviations in oxytocin levels have also been associated with anxiety, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), depression, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and schizophrenia. Both oxytocin and dopamine are often considered reward- and feel-good hormones, and dopamine is associated with the above-mentioned behaviors and, and dopamine is also associated with the above-mentioned behaviors and disorders.

The combined pollution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (HMs) has attracted wide attention due to their high toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and teratogenicity. A thorough understanding of the progress of the relevant studies about their co-toxicity and co-contamination remediation is of great importance to prevent environmental risk and develop new efficient remediation methods. This paper summarized the factors resulting in different co-toxic effects, the interaction mechanism influencing co-toxicity and the development of remediation technologies for the co-contamination.

Article Synopsis
- Successful integration into social groups requires understanding each individual's status and the group's social rules.
- A study using videos of macaques showed that viewers could accurately infer the social status of individuals based on their aggressive and appeasing behaviors.
- The amygdala in viewers' brains signaled the status of both individuals in the interaction, indicating that social attention is influenced by the dominant individual, even without active displays.
