defences against sexually transmitted diseases in primates. Animal
Behaviour, vol 66,
Data on Genital Inspection, Grooming and
Postcopulatory Urination
The occurrence of putative behavioural counterstrate-
gies to sexually transmitted disease is coded for each
species based on survey data (see published article for
details). ‘Yes’ indicates that the behaviour was docu-
mented, and ‘No’ indicates that the behaviour was not
documented. The terms ‘Var. or Int.’ refer to variable
response or intermediate values provided by respondents
(e.g. ‘sometimes’, ‘occasionally’, or ‘rare’). Some respond-
ents replied to the survey in collaboration with other
researchers, and in such cases, both names are listed in
the table. In other cases two or more respondents replied
independently to the survey. Blank cells indicate that no
assessment was possible based on the survey responses.
