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 quantitative comparison of the behaviour of wild and caged baboon groups

(1) A wild and a caged baboon population were compared on the basis of roughly 300 hr of observation on each population. The effect of different population compositions is discussed.

Companionship is far more important [than large cage-volume]. Isolated chimpanzees in large cages show more behavioural effects of environmental restriction than do members of pairs kept in small cages.

Growth hormone secretion in the unanesthetized rhesus monkey in response to noxious stimulation

Individual monkeys exposed to sudden disturbances such as telephone ringing, confrontation by unfamiliar persons, or pinching of the abdominal skin showed an abrupt, marked elevation in plasma growth hormone.
