Primate grooming as a tension reduction mechanism

In this paper grooming was considered as a response to tension generated by an event which threatens the integration of a specific member of the group. In response to this tension, grooming is engaged in with the result that the...

The heart rate in monkeys (Baboons and Macaques) in different physiological states recorded by radiotelemetry

In the presence of man the heart rate is always increased, in spite of the fact that the monkeys appear to be calm.

Effects of adult social experience on patterns of reproductive activity of socially deprived male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

The three [single-caged, socially deprived] male subjects represented examples of severely disturbed animals as witnessed by rates of stereotyped behavior (self-aggression, stereotyped locomotion). The problem under investigation involved the extent to which social group experience as an adult could modify...

Effects of selected illumination levels on circadian periodicity in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)

It was demonstrated that activity of caged rhesus macaques inceases as a function of light intensity (illumination).

Corticosteroid response to chair restraint in the monkey

These experiments indicate clearly that placement in the restraining chair represents a potent stimulus to the pituitary-adrenal cortical system. Animals who were restrained in an unfamiliar environment showed significantly higher urinary cortisol levels than animals who were familiar with the...

Pairing preadolescents with infants (Macaca mulatta)

Infants [isolates and controls] were paired with pre-adolescents. There was more social behavior directed toward control infants than toward isolate-reared infants.

Short- and long-term attachments in adult heterosexual pairs of rhesus monkeys

When the members of four heterosexual pairs were separated, all four males bit themselves while attempting to remove the separating barrier or while threatening observers. [quoted in Erwin et al., 1973]
