Consortships and conceptions in captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Promiscuity in Barbary macaques ( Macaca sylvanus )
The mating behavior of female Barbary macaques ( Macaca sylvanus ) has been called “promiscuous” because females mate with multiple males in rapid succession. The data presented here, based on a 9 month study of a semifree‐ranging colony, supports the idea that females do indeed mate indiscriminately and at a high rate. Five hundred six copulations were recorded for 21 females during the breeding season, and 358 of these copulations occurred when…
Female choice in nonhuman primates
As outlined by Darwin, sexual selection is composed of two parts, within-sex competition for mates, and mate choice. The fact that males compete for fertile females has been well established. More equivocal is the notion that females have preferences for certain males, and that those preferences have an evolutionary effect (“female choice”). We now have an evolutionary framework and sophisticated mathematical models to evaluate female choice. A r…
Female Primate Sexual Behavior and Conception
Mate choice by lineage in three captive groups of rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
The hypothesis that the matrilineal affiliation of 410 infants born in three captive groups of rhesus macaques is independent of the patrilineal affiliation of these infants was tested. Preferential mating with particular patrilines was observed for matrilineal members. We conclude that lineage affiliation does influence mate choice of rhesus macaques, at least when a large number of matrilines and relatively few patrilines which include natal ma…
Secondary sex ratios by maternal rank, parity, and age in captive rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
Analysis of 645 conceptions by captive rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) with known reproductive histories indicated that maternal age and parity had little effect on the sex of progeny. There was, however, a slight indication that high‐ranking females produced a higher proportion of daughters and relatively fewer sons than did low‐ranking females. These results provide only weak support for the “advantaged daughter” hypothesis suggested by thre…
The influence of birth timing upon infant growth and survival in Captive Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatto)
High‐resolution chromosomes of rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
Late‐prophase high‐resolution chromosomes were successfully cultured for 22 of 27 Macaca mulatta samples. Twelve of the successful cultures were adequate for karyotyping high‐resolution spreads. High‐resolution chromosome technique provides an important contribution to primate genetics because it can be used to identify chromosomal anomalies undetected in metaphase spreads and may be useful for paternity exclusion analysis
Brief report
Peripheral blood samples from 53 macaque perinatal deaths at the California Primate Research Center (CPRC) were cultured to produce chromosomes for analysis. Karyotypes were constructed for 26 successful cultures and revealed no apparent chromosomal anomalies. A genetic screening program at primate breeding facilities is important for estimating the frequency of chromosomal anomalies in macaques and for understanding the contribution of chromosom…
Reproductive failure in macaques
Reproductive failure among captive and free‐ranging macaques is common. Many females experience amenorrhea or anovular cycles. Females who successfully conceive often lose the conceptus before implantation. After implantation, fetuses are aborted because of maternal, paternal, fetal, or placental abnormalities. Death postpartum is likely if infants are premature or if animals are subject to social stress, especially trauma. Based on published rep…
Taste sensitivity to phenylthiourea (PTC) in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
Brief repot
Six mother‐infant pairs in a group of captive rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta ) were observed for six months. “Infant grabs” by others and mothers' resistance to grabs were scored. More full siblings grabbed infants than either paternal half‐siblings or nonrelatives. Mothers resisted grabbing by more nonrelatives than by paternal half‐siblings. Although the maternal effect suggested by full sib‐infant interactions is expected, the paternal effect…
