The antecedents and consequences of a change in status in the female line were documented in the course of an ongoing study of a captive colony of M. fascicularis. A conjunction of 2 events appears to have been a cause of the timing. The 1st is the maturation of the eldest female offspring of the subordinate lineage, and the 2nd the insertion of an intrauterine device into the mother of that lineage. These changes made these 2 females simultaneously sexual associates of the adult male, while the dominant female of the other lineage was still pregnant. In the course of these events the maturing sub-adult female of the subordinate lineage underwent the most dramatic change of status, eventually rising from the lowest position to that of alpha female. The complex changes which heralded this alteration in status are described in terms of the referent relations and alliances which were evolving in the group.
