Captive tufted capuchins (Cebus apella) formed a group characterized by greater affiliative behaviour within matrilines. Affiliation within the matriline is dependent upon social intimacy during infancy with matriline members. Courtship and mating are not identically distributed: subordinate and subadult males participate in a larger proportion of matings than of courtships. In all these aspects of social behaviour, variability across individuals contributes to the complex dynamics of the social group.
