Reconciliatory grunts by dominnt female baboons influence victims' behaviour

Article Abstract:

Dominant female baboons may grunt at victims after having interacted with them in an aggressive fashion. These grunts appear to be reconciliatory and have an impact on the subsequent behaviour of victims, as is shown by playing back recorded grunts following a fight. Victims are more likely to go near opponents if they have heard a grunt. Opponents are not affected and are no more likely to go near victims after having heard reconciliatory grunts.

The form and function of post-conflict interactions between female baboons

Article Abstract:

Female baboons, Papio cynocephalus ursinus, reconcile vocally more often with high-ranking competitors, related mothers of older infants and mothers of younger infants immediately after the conflict than after a few days. Grunting always accompanies reconciliatory behavior and other non-aggressive forms of behavior. Reconciliation fails to have any effect on the approach rate, vocal responses and social interactions between former competitors.
