Guoliang Chen's dataset analyzes triadic influences on allomaternal care in a semi-provisioned wild group of Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) during the 2025 birth season. It includes focal sampling and proximity scan data used to test caregiver-control and triadic negotiation hypotheses. The dataset was last updated on figshare in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Modeling caregiver-control hypotheses based on data from non-lactating and lactating females.
- Analyzing infant behavioral agency based on infant-centered focal sampling.
- Investigating maternal control mechanisms based on mother-aunt association strength.
- Testing triadic negotiation models based on the unified framework of infant, mother, and caregiver influences.
Strengths
- Data is derived from focal sampling and proximity scans of a wild primate group.
- Analysis is framed within a unified triadic framework comparing infant, mother, and caregiver influences.
- The dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The dataset is 63.4 KB, indicating a limited scope.
