Rhesus monkeys in North India

Excellent overview of the species-typical behavior of wild rhesus macaques. Infants continue to nurse ... until they were probably about one year of age. Weaning definitely occurred when the next sibling was born.

The bonnet macaque in South India

The bonnet macaque is seen only in areas where there are at least a few large trees, and, given a supply of food and water, the presence of some large trees seems to be the only limitation to their adaptation....

Chimpanzees of the Budongo Forest

At a very rough estimate, chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest spent an average of from 50 to 75 percent of the daylight hours in trees.

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.

The UFAW Handbook on the Care and Management of Laboratory Animals (3rd ed): The Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)

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.
