Macaque monkeys got on better with others in their social groups after a devastating hurricane, according to researchers.
Researchers studied the impacts of a hurricane on a population of Rhesus macaques on an island off Puerto Rico.
Temperatures are often around 40C so shade is a precious resource for macaques, since tree cover is still far below pre-hurricane levels.
Macaques, who are known for being aggressive and competitive, have become more tolerant of one another to get access to scarce shade.
