Heart rate changes associated with tethering of cynomolgus monkeys

The results suggest that some amount of cardiovascular (and perhaps hormonal) disturbance may persist in tethered animals, even if several weeks are allowed for 'habituation'.

Reconciliation and redirected affection in rhesus monkeys

The question whether rhesus monkeys reconcile was empirically translated as: Do they seek non-agonistic contact with former adversaries? The study concerned a captive group of forty-one monkeys, Macaca mulatta. Participants in 350 aggressive incidents were followed both immediately after the...

Self-aggression in macaques: five case studies

All [5 adult males] were individually caged. Four of the animals showed an increased level of SIB during stressful situations, such as movement of an animal to a new cage, escape of other monkeys. Only one monkey showed SIB in...

Male dominance in the bonnet macaque: A malleable relationship

The bonnet macaque may possibly show the highest degree of male-male tolerance in the genus Macaca. Five pairs of unfamiliar adult males were formed without any preliminaries. As usually occurs when unfamiliar males first meet, agonistic behaviors related to the...

Allowing captive primates to forage

A woodchip litter substrate reduces abnormal behaviours, primarily self-aggression, and encourages foraging, even in the absence of grain. Comparison between the bare floor and litter with grain showed that in the latter monkeys foraged more, manipulated the environment less, were...

Endocrine changes induced by venipuncture in rhesus monkeys

Animals were accustomed to our venipuncture procedures and often extended a leg from the cage without struggling for sample collection. Blood collection in a transport box resulted in elevated GH and cortisol values. The present data suggest that such responses...

Recommendations for the housing of macaque monkeys

Single-cage housing should be discontinued as a standard procedure for long-term housing. ... Young animals should be given larger cages [than minimal-sized standard cage] to permit exercise. ... The cage should have provision for climbing and also for hiding to...

Effects of weaning age on maternal reproduction and offspring health in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Under confinement conditions there was a significant dependency between offspring weaning age and subsequent conception of the mother. Females with infants weaned at 6 months had higher reproductive rates [87%] than other females with infants weaned at 8 [78%], 10...
