The role of peers in modifying behavioral distress and pituitary-adrenal response to a novel environment in year-old rhesus monkeys

Infant rhesus macaques were captured from their social group and placed in an unfamiliar environment for 24 hours either (a) alone or (b) with another infant from the same group. When tested alone, the animals exhibited significantly more signs of...

Persistent adrenocortical activation in female rhesus monkeys after new breeding group formation

Persistent elevated adrenocortical responsiveness to ACTH has been demonstrated in female rhesus monkeys as long as 13 weeks after relocation into new single male breeding groups.

Interactions between males and unweaned barbary macaques: testing the agonistic buffering hypothesis

Observations of wild Barbary macaques in the Moroccan Middle Atlas revealed more male interaction with unweaned monkeys than has been described for other Cercopithecoidea. 2. Adult, subadult and juveniles males were all involved. On the birth of a new season's...

Effects of ketamine hydrochloride on the hemogram of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Restraining a monkey in its cage represents a stressful situation which may result in a physiological leukocytosis and hemoconcentration in the sample collected.

Reduction of mortality due to fighting in a colony of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Mortality resulting from fighting [17 deaths per 100 females per year] in a breeding colony of rhesus monkeys living in groups was an important management problem. It was found that the cause of the fighting was the social disruption resulting...

Older monkeys’ (Macaca radiata) response to new group formation: Behavior, reproduction and mortality

Groups were formed without any preliminaries. Trauma did not play a role in the death [23%] of older [12-19 yrs of age] animals. A group of younger bonnets (5 males and 33 females under 10 yrs of age) suffered 11%...

Pituitary response to LRH and TRH stimulation and peripheral steroid hormones in conscious and anaesthetized adult male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Adult male rhesus monkeys are aggressive animals and very difficult to handle. Hence experimental manipulations necessarily involve the use of restraint procedures, either chemical or physical, which may influence endocrine functions. ... The male rhesus monkey, however, is a very...
