Factors influencing the expression of aggression during introductions to rhesus monkey groups

What we have demonstrated is that the introduction of rhesus monkeys [both sexes, different ages, different rearing histories/personalities] to an established rhesus monkey social unit can be a potent stimulus for eliciting aggression. ... Rhesus monkeys in the laboratory have...
