Acute restraint device for rhesus monkeys

One of the major drawbacks to the use of nonhuman primates is that they can be difficult and even dangerous to handle. Restraint is therefore necessary and desirable to protect both the investigator and the animal. During restraint procedures often...

Hair pulling-and-eating in captive rhesus monkeys

Hair pulling and eating has not yet received attention in the nonhuman primate literature. Hair pulling and eating was recorded 388 times in two heterogeneous troops of healthy rhesus monkeys that were kept according to modern management practices. The behavior...

Does intermale mounting function as a dominance demonstration in rhesus monkeys?

The relationship between dominance and intermale mounting was analyzed in two troops of captive rhesus monkeys. The data did not support the assumption that mounting among males functions as a dominance demonstration as described in the literature because (1) mounting...

Altruistic interference shown by the alpha-female of a captive troop of rhesus monkeys

Interferences in aggressive disputes were recorded in a captive troop of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) comprising 19 mature females, 2 mature males and 12 immatures. The top ranking animal – the oldest female, Alpha, 23 years of age – was...

Environmental enrichment with sticks for singly-caged adult rhesus monkeys

The addition of branch segments for gnawing was found to be an effective and inexpensive method of environmental enrichment for single-housed adult rhesus macaques.

Plasma cortisol of female rhesus monkeys in response to acute restraint

Confinement in a transfer box was a significant event, as measured by cortisol response, even though this condition was presumably intrinsically less stressful than manual restraint [with the help of the squeeze-back in the home cage]. .... Novelty alone can...

Influence of an environmental enrichment device on general behavior and appetite in rhesus macaques

The enrichment device requires little maintenance, and most monkeys learn to use it with no training. No data are included in this abstract.

Influence of acute stress and the adrenal axis on regulation of LH and testosterone in the male rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)

Acute restraint stress appears to cause the transient stimulation of LH release. ... While the stress-stimulated release of corticosteroids failed to affect the LH response to GnRH administration, it did act directly on the testes to prevent the normal release...
