An experimental study of intragroup agonistic behaviour in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

A significant increase in agonistic behavior occurred when the distribution of the food was restricted, but the amount of food remained normal. Highly significant increases in the frequency of agonistic behavior occurred with the introduction of new monkeys who were...

A comparison of outdoor and indoor housing of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Survival in the outdoor pens averaged 80-90%, which was the same as for the indoor monkeys. Body weight gain in the outdoor monkeys averaged 62% increase, in comparison to 43% gain in the indoor monkeys over the same time period....
