was occupied elsewhere. This was supported by the fact that the infant picked up the stone once the mother dropped it and allowed her to groom him while he played with it. This behavior was seen in a few other members of the colony, but not seen throughout the species. In another instance, a female chimpanzee at the Delta Regional Primate Research Center created a "toothbrush" by stripping a twig of its leaves, and used this toothbrush to groom her infant over several instances. However, both examples concern tool use in primates, which is already widely studied and scientifically backed. The wide working memory capacities and causal understanding capabilities of primates permit them to fashion and utilize tools far more extensively than other non-human animals. Apart from physical and mental constraints, perhaps a reason allogrooming animals do not use tools is because a major purpose of social grooming is social bonding and involves emotional exchanges, much of which is conveyed by touch.
928:, an opioid antagonist that blocks the opioid receptor and inhibits the effects of endogenous opioids. In comparison to the control females, who were given saline solutions, the naloxone females groomed their infants and other members of their group less. The naloxone females were also observed to be less protective of their young, which is uncharacteristic of new mothers. This decline in social interactions upon naloxone injection suggests that opioid antagonists interfere with maternal involvement in social actions—here, social grooming. it could therefore be hypothesized that higher levels of opioids in new rhesus mothers cause increased levels of social involvement and maternal behavior, aiding the development and learning of the newborn. 239:
mates; they chose grooming mates based on who would reciprocate rather than who would not. More importantly, if the delay between two chimpanzees grooming each other is very little, then the chimpanzees tend to "time match": i.e., the second groomer grooms the first for the same amount of time that he/she was groomed. This "episodic memory" requires a demanding amount of cognitive function and emotional recognition, and has been tested experimentally with respect to food preferences, where apes chose between tasty perishable and non-tasty non-perishable food at shorter and longer delays respectively after trying the food. Hence, apes can distinguish between different events that occurred at different times.

groomed by members of its group. However, it has instead been seen that when group size increases, members ensure that they spend an appropriate amount of time grooming everyone. Hence, the fact that animals, particularly primates, groom each other more frequently than necessary from a hygienic standpoint suggests that the social aspect of allogrooming plays an equally, if not more, important role. Another point of evidence for the importance of the social aspect is that in comparison to how and how much a primate grooms itself (autogrooming), allogrooming involves longer periods of time and different techniques, some of which have connotations of being affectionate gestures.
181: 559: 940:, and a narrow range of species within primates themselves. As a result, the literature does not provide a well-rounded idea of what the cognitive or behavioral basis for social grooming is, nor does it completely outline all of its effects, positive or negative. Even in well-studied species, it may be that not all the data relevant to social grooming has been collected. Secondly, data for most species is derived based on the members of a single group. In primates, whose behavior is highly flexible depending on the socio-environmental conditions, this poses a particular challenge. Thirdly, most studies are short-term and 528: 259:, it was seen that more dominant group members were "stroked" more than they were "picked at" when being groomed, compared to lower-ranking group members. From a utilitarian standpoint, stroking is a less effective technique for grooming than picking, but it is construed as being a more affectionate gesture. Hence, grooming a higher ranking individual could be done in order to placate a potential aggressor and reduce tension. Moreover, individuals closer in rank tend to groom each other more reciprocally than individuals further apart in rank. 836:
pressure levels than rats who did not receive any touch. This was found to be the result of an increased vagal nerve tone, meaning they had had a higher parasympathetic nervous response and a lower sympathetic nervous response to stimuli, resulting in a lower stress response. Social grooming is a form of innocuous sensory activation. Innocuous sensory activation, characterized by non-aggressive contact, stimulates an entirely separate neural pathway from nocuous aggressive sensory activation. Innocuous sensations are transmitted through the
499:, infant females mimic their mothers' actions by grooming their mothers more often than their male counterparts do and by grooming the same group members that their mothers groom. This mimicry is suggested to indicate identification-based observational learning in infant stump-tailed macaques, and the daughters' penchants for maternal mimicry and kin-biased grooming versus the sons' penchants for rank-biased grooming falls in line with their social roles in groups, where adult males require alliances in order to gain and maintain rank. 637: 707: 543: 62: 622: 216: 29: 691: 4740: 907:
indicative of higher stress; however, females with reliable and well-established grooming partners have less of a fGC rise than those with weaker grooming networks. Hence, the social support received from a "friendship" aids baboons in stress management. Similarly, fGC levels are also seen to rise in females when a close "friend" dies; however, these rising fGC levels are seen to decrease in females that form new grooming partners, replacing their deceased friends.
419:, this rule governs the idea that kin selection causes genes to increase in frequency when the genetic relatedness (r) of a recipient to an actor multiplied by the benefit to the recipient (B) is greater than the reproductive cost to the actor (C). Thus, it is advantageous for an individual to partake in altruistic behaviors, such as social grooming, so long as the individual receiving the benefits of the behavior is related to the one providing the behavior. 280:, infants are seen as a valuable commodity that can be exchanged for favours; mothers allow non-mothers to handle their infants for short durations in exchange for being groomed. Tibetan macaques measure and perceive the value of the infants by noting the relative ratio of infants in the group; as the number of infants increase, their "value" decreases, and so does the amount of grooming performed by non-mothers for mothers in exchange for infant-handling. 667: 4754: 574: 309: 682:, for example, engages in social grooming by cleaning body parts that cannot be reached by the receiving bee. The receiving bee extends its wings perpendicular to its body while its wings, mouth parts, and antennae are cleaned in order to remove dust and pollen. This removal of dust and pollen allows for the sharpening of olfactory senses, thus contributing to the overall well-being of the group. 853:
include relaxation, healing, and digestion stimulation. Reproductive benefits have also been found: studies in rats have shown that the release of oxytocin can increase male reproductive success. Oxytocin plays an important role in maternal pair bonding, and is hypothesized to promote similar bonding in social groups as a result of positive feedback loops from social interactions.

shown that increased social stress results in glucocorticoid resistance, further inhibiting immune function. Macaques who participated in social grooming showed decreased levels of viral load, which points toward decreased levels of social stress resulting in increased immune function and glucocorticoid sensitivity. Additionally, a 1997 study concluded that an increase in
227:, the females initiate grooming with the males just before flight at dusk. The male and his close-knit female harem release bodily secretions onto each other, which may allow them to recognize the female's reproductive status. A 2016 study by Kumar et al. chemically analyzed these secretions, concluding that they may be required in chemosensory mediated communication and 208:(associated with social and emotional processing/analysis) when the monkeys were shown pictures of their friends' faces, compared to when they were shown less familiar faces. Hence, primates recognize familiar and well-liked individuals ("friends") and spend more time grooming them than less favoured partners. In species with a more tolerant social style, such as 162:. Social affiliation during a mild stressor was shown to correlate with lower levels of mammary tumor development and longer lifespan in rats, while lack of this affiliation was demonstrated to be a major risk factor. On the other hand, it could be argued that the hygienic aspect of allogrooming does not play as important a role as the social aspect of it. 710: 709: 714: 713: 708: 65: 64: 715: 69: 68: 63: 759:
