Social structure of a colony of Macaca mulatta

1. Various methods of observation were tried in order to obtain accurate records of individual behaviour in a social environment. Observing one individual for about an hour and recording the behaviour every two minutes was found to be the most...

Factors influencing normal SGO-T levels in the rhesus monkey

There can be a rise in SGO-T [serum glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase] in monkeys due to nonspecific stresses such as fright, handling or clinical procedures.

Stereotyped behavior and cage size

It was concluded that spatial restriction which does not permit 'normal' locomotor behavior, e.g., running, climbing, etc., results in substitute motor expression which frequently takes the form of repetitive stereotyped movement.
