Nonhuman Primate

Environmental engineering for primates

A useful improvement for many animal care facilities would be the scheduling of time for humans to spend positively interacting with monkeys that must be housed individually.

Does intermale mounting function as a dominance demonstration in rhesus monkeys?

The relationship between dominance and intermale mounting was analyzed in two troops of captive rhesus monkeys. The data did not support the assumption that mounting among males functions as a dominance demonstration as described in the literature because (1) mounting...

Altruistic interference shown by the alpha-female of a captive troop of rhesus monkeys

Interferences in aggressive disputes were recorded in a captive troop of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) comprising 19 mature females, 2 mature males and 12 immatures. The top ranking animal – the oldest female, Alpha, 23 years of age – was...

Control and early socioemotional development: Infant rhesus monkeys reared in controllable versus uncontrollable environments

For the Master group, responses on the operant manipulanda resulted in the delivery of the appropriate reinforcements [food, water, treats]. For the Yoked group, the manipulanda were inoperative; the occurrence of reinforcements was dependent on the actions of the Master...

Behavioral responsiveness of young chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) to a novel environment

Extreme distress reported previously for chimpanzees and human children when tested alone in a novel situation was rarely observed in these tests when an attachment figure [human caretaker] was present.

A benign method for maintaining ovulatory estrogen levels in cycling rhesus macaques

The goal of this study was to develop a relatively noninvasive technique for generating ovulatory estrogen levels in cycling females over extended periods of time. Eleven intact cycling rhesus macaques were given weekly injections of estradiol cypionate in an effort...
