ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF BEHAVIOR OF JAVA MONKEYS UNDER GROUP KEEPING IN CAGES

The conceptual basis of the present study is an idea on systemic inter dependence of neurobiological phenomena (at any level of their occurre nce, including the integral behavioural level). Characteristic peculia rities of probable organization of natural behavioural activity of Jav a monkeys (M. irus) kept in cages in monosexual groups were studied by recording etograms with subsequent computer analysis. By ranging prob abilities of transitions between separate behavioural acts and classif ying them by motivational categories, were described the probable etol ogical structures of individual behaviour and intraspecific- interacti on in a group. Only in case of intraspecific interaction these behavio ural structures were characterized by a high variability of the probab ility of their occurrence in different observations. The data obtained were considered from the position of biological significance of the p robabilities of transitions between separate specific behavioural patt erns in the organization of the whole behavioural activity.
