| Abstract: | During tests of sexual behavior which permitted multiple ejaculations, male bonnet and pigtail macaques were found to differ on a number of traditionally defined behavioral parameters. Although pigtail tests were terminated by a more stringent criterion, they were longer in duration and more ejaculations were recorded than in the bonnet tests. Pigtail males required relatively more intromissions for initial ejaculations and somewhat fewer on successive ejaculations. Bonnets, on the other hand, generally ejaculated on the first mount of a test and then exhibited increased numbers of intromissions to successive ejaculations. Although both species exhibited increases in successive postejaculatory intervals, the changes were more gradual for the pigtails. |
