Field study go out to the species" natural habitat. Jane goudall one of the first people that spent time with their study species. Expected to spend at least a year for students now. These studies can include recording or non-invasive devices (does not bother them) Proximate immediate causes for behavior, include hormonal and physiological reasons for animals to react. Ultimate evolutionary level; can explore fitness effects of this behavior; influenced by male dominance and coalition, female receptivity, Monkeys mate from these deeper evolved strategies that can enhance the monkey"s odd of reproduction. Behavior is subject to the forces of evolution. Females are the choosey sex and they are the resources that males want to monopolize and map themselves around for redistribution.
