Abstract
When establishing our breeding group of Macaca fascicularis in 1975 by successive introduction of females into a group of one male and two females, we observed some strategies of females to get a higher social position (Welker et al. 1980). We got the impression that interactions within the first minutes after the introduction were the most important ones for their later rank. It seemed that there were a priori different types of females, low-ranking and high-ranking ones.
