The rhesus monkey in North India: an ecological and behavioral study

Excellent overview of the species-typical behavior of wild rhesus macaques. Reproduction rate was 90% in wild rhesus troops [in which infants stayed with their mothers beyond the age of natural weaning]. Animals spent the night in trees. When on the...

The heart rate in monkeys (Baboons and Macaques) in different physiological states recorded by radiotelemetry

In the presence of man the heart rate is always increased, in spite of the fact that the monkeys appear to be calm.

The UFAW Handbook on the Care and Management of Laboratory Animals (4th ed): Primates – General

The higher primates, such as chimpanzees and baboons, are intelligent and sensitive. If handled with sympathy and understanding they can become more than research tools - even co-operative partners in experimentation. To achieve this, a little time, often time well...

Effects of adult social experience on patterns of reproductive activity of socially deprived male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

The three [single-caged, socially deprived] male subjects represented examples of severely disturbed animals as witnessed by rates of stereotyped behavior (self-aggression, stereotyped locomotion). The problem under investigation involved the extent to which social group experience as an adult could modify...
