Abnormal behavior in non-isolate-reared rhesus monkeys

Self-aggression [in single-housed subjects] occurred primarily in semi-stressful contexts which apparently did not allow appropriate outward-directed expression of emotion.

Diurnal changes in plasma testosterone and studies on plasma corticosteroids in non-anaesthetized male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Authors evaluated plasma corticosteroid concentrations in male rhesus macaques who were trained to enter voluntarily a restraining apparatus and permitted venipuncture without showing signs of stress. Basal cortisol values were 30% lower than previously reported for different, untrained animals.

Sexually aroused self-aggression in a socialized, adult male monkey

An abnormal but apparently successful sexual posture was observed in an adult male rhesus monkey in which the subject bit its hands and leg in the process of dismounting. This behavior followed each of several mounts but ceased toward the...

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...
