abstract = {Primates with larger brains tend to possess a greater
number of distinct cortical areas, but there are limited
data from systematic quantita-tive analysis of
cytoarchitectural variation across the cortex of different
species. The current study aimed to determine if brain size
covaries with cellular distributions across the cortical
surface. Greater cytoarchitectural differentiation might
indicate increased modularity of cortical func-tion. Our
preliminary sample included coronal histological sections of
the temporal lobe from Indri indri, Lagothrix lagotricha,
Saguinus midas, and Saimiri sciureus. The temporal lobe
contains cortical areas that function in higher-order
audi-tory processing and visual object recognition. The
cortex was sampled from c200 equidis-tantly-located sites in
each brain from sections representing the entire
rostrocaudal axis of the temporal lobe. From each site,
characteristics of cellular distributions were quantiܪed
using image analysis procedures to obtain data on vertical
changes from the top of layer II to bottom of layer VI in:
1) the proportion of cell proܪles versus neuropil space
(grey level) and 2) the size distri-bution and density of
cell proܪles. Results showed that the coefܪcient of
variation in cortical grey level increased with brain size
(rho"0.95, P"0.05). Variation in cell proܪle sizes tended
to decrease, but not signiܪcantly (rho"-0.80, P"0.20). We
found no consistent rostrocaudal gradient of variation in
these aspects of cytoarchitecture across temporal lobe
sections in the sample. Further analyses will incorporate a
greater range of primates. These studies will contribute to
our understanding of developmental mechanisms in shaping
primate cortical structure.Same-sex sexual behavior in wild

QuitoStudies of sexual behaviors and reproductive
strat-egies have often focused on interactions between
different-sex dyads, potentially underestimating the
frequency of same-sex sexual behavior (SSSB) among animal
species. However, SSSB is ubiquitous across the animal
kingdom, and, among primates, there are a variety of species
that commonly display SSSB (e.g., bonobos, macaques,
capuchins). Here, we present novel data on same-sex mounting
behavior, one type of SSSB, in wild woolly monkeys
(Lagothrix lagotricha poeppigii) living in a pristine
tropical rainforest in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Between 2014
and 2018, we recorded data on sexual behaviors among adult
and subadult individuals in four neighboring social groups.
Of 279 observed cases of mounting, ܪve $(1.8\%)$ were among
same-sex dyads (four female-female and one male-male).
Interestingly, all ܪve cases involved at least one subadult
individual, suggesting that in woolly monkeys SSSB may be
used as an exper-imental or learning strategy for subadults
prior to reaching sexual maturity as adults. However,
further investigations are needed to better under-stand the
function of SSSB in woolly monkeys. With this study, we hope
to grow the compara-tive data set to better understand the
function of non-conceptive sexual behaviors, including SSSB,
among animals including primates.},
