The birth season for Wolf's mona monkey is from June through December due to rainfall and resource availability.
It lives in a single male/multi-female group.
It is female philopatric, with males dispersing from the group at sexual maturity.
Because one male controls several females there is extreme competition for the alpha male position.
Females, on the other hand, are generally amicable and participate in grooming and allomothering.
Unlike macaques there are no strong linear dominance hierarchies.

Conspecific groups are generally intolerant of each other.
Both males and females behave aggressively in intergroup encounters.
They are very territorial, using calling and aggression (if needed).
Females play an important role in territory defense; when they call it prompts the male to call as well.

Among cercopithecines, forest guenons such as Wolf's mona monkey have very developed cheek pouches.
These cheek pouches are second only to macaques.
The evolution of these cheek pouches in both genera may be a response to the increased potential for interspecific competition in the mixed-species associations which these monkeys frequently form.
