rhesus_monkey — Rhesus monkey grooming (1963)

Description

Grooming episodes among 16 adult rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) of a free-ranging community in Cayo Santiago (Puerto Rico), observed by D. S. Sade in June and July 1963. Seven of the monkeys are males, and the other nine are females. The data were distributed by L. C. Freeman on his network data page at the University of California, Irvine (no longer online), from which this version was obtained via the Internet Archive.

A directed edge (i, j) indicates that monkey i was observed grooming monkey j. (The direction is not stated explicitly in the source, which describes the data as a non-symmetric table of grooming episodes; the row animal is taken as the groomer.)

The network has the following properties:

  • (Node) name: the identifier of the monkey.
  • (Node) male: whether the monkey is male.
  • (Edge) weight: the number of grooming episodes.
