Abstract

Rapid facial mimicry (RFM), the rapid and automatic replication of facial expression perceived, is considered a basic form of empathy and was investigated mainly during play. RFM occurs in Catarrhini (Old World primates), but it is not still demonstrated in Platyrrhini (New World primates). For this reason, we collected video data on playful interactions (Nplay_interactions = 149) in three species of spider monkeys (Ateles fuscicepsN = 11, Ateles hybridusN = 14, and Ateles paniscusN = 6) housed at La Vallée des Singes and the ZooParc de Beauval (France). For the first time, we demonstrated the occurrence of RFM in Platyrrhini (analyzing 175 events). Players' sex, age, species, relationship quality, and kinship did not modulate RFM probably due to the species' complex fission–fusion dynamics and flexible interindividual social relationships. Compared to the absence of any playful expressions or the presence of only not replicated play face, RFM prolonged the session duration and was sequentially associated with more types of more intense offensive playful patterns (patterns aimed at attacking/pursuing the playmate). We proposed that RFM may favor synchronization and context sharing between players, thus decreasing the risk of behavior misinterpretation while simultaneously fostering a more competitive nature of play. In conclusion, this study stimulates additional research on the evolutionary origins of motor mimicry in primates, possibly dating back to before the divergence of New and Old World monkeys. Furthermore, it also points toward the possibility that RFM may not always lead to cooperation but also to competition, depending on the context and species' social and cognitive features.

Platyrrhini 的快速面部模仿:蜘蛛猴(Ateles fusciceps、Ateles hybridus 和 Ateles paniscus)的面部模仿游戏。
快速面部模仿(RFM),即快速自动复制所感知的面部表情,被认为是移情的一种基本形式,主要是在游戏中进行研究。RFM在猫科动物(旧大陆灵长类)中出现,但在蝶形灵长类(新大陆灵长类)中还没有表现出来。为此,我们收集了三种蜘蛛猴(Ateles fusciceps-N = 11、Ateles hybridus-N = 14 和 Ateles paniscus-N = 6)的游戏互动视频数据(Nplay_interactions = 149),这些蜘蛛猴分别饲养在法国辛格山谷和博瓦尔动物园(ZooParc de Beauval)。我们首次证明了RFM在鸻中的出现(分析了175个事件)。嬉戏者的性别、年龄、种类、关系质量和亲缘关系对 RFM 没有调节作用,这可能是由于该物种复杂的裂变融合动态和灵活的个体间社会关系。与没有任何嬉戏表情或仅有不重复的嬉戏表情相比,RFM 延长了游戏持续时间,并依次与更多类型、更强烈的攻击性嬉戏模式(旨在攻击/追逐玩伴的模式)相关联。我们认为,RFM 可能有利于游戏者之间的同步和情境共享,从而降低行为被误解的风险,同时促进游戏的竞争性。总之,这项研究激发了对灵长类动物运动模仿进化起源的更多研究,可能可以追溯到新世界猴和旧世界猴分化之前。此外,这项研究还指出,RFM 可能并不总是导致合作,也可能导致竞争,这取决于环境和物种的社会和认知特征。

期刊介绍: The objective of the American Journal of Primatology is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and findings among primatologists and to convey our increasing understanding of this order of animals to specialists and interested readers alike. Primatology is an unusual science in that its practitioners work in a wide variety of departments and institutions, live in countries throughout the world, and carry out a vast range of research procedures. Whether we are anthropologists, psychologists, biologists, or medical researchers, whether we live in Japan, Kenya, Brazil, or the United States, whether we conduct naturalistic observations in the field or experiments in the lab, we are united in our goal of better understanding primates. Our studies of nonhuman primates are of interest to scientists in many other disciplines ranging from entomology to sociology.
