Scholarcy highlights
- Robbing and bartering is a behavioral practice anecdotally reported in free-ranging commensal macaques
- In line with the environmental opportunity hypothesis, we found a positive qualitative relation at the group level between time spent in tourist zones and RB frequency or prevalence
- We found qualitative partial support for the male-biased sex ratio hypothesis, whereas the group density hypothesis was not supported
- This preliminary study showed that RB is a spontaneous, customary, and enduring population-specific practice characterized by intergroup variation in Balinese macaques
- RB is a candidate for a new behavioral tradition in this species
