Socialization in pigtailed macaques ( Macaca nemestrina )
In response to new emphasis by regulatory agencies regarding socialization, behavioral management programs are allocating greater resources to maximize socialization opportunities for laboratory primates. Information regarding predictors of compatibility and risk of injury for all laboratory-housed species of macaques are needed to make social introductions and pairings as efficient and safe as possible. This study presents data on 674 pairs of p…
Temperament in Rhesus, Long‐Tailed, and Pigtailed Macaques Varies by Species and Sex
Temperament differs among individuals both within and between species. Evidence suggests that differences in temperament of group members may parallel differences in social behavior among groups or between species. Here, we compared temperament between three closely related species of monkey—rhesus ( Macaca mulatta ), long‐tailed ( M. fascicularis ), and pigtailed ( M. nemestrina ) macaques—using cage‐front behavioral observations of individually…
Floating limb behaviors and self‐biting are associated in laboratory monkeys
Early descriptions of floating limb behaviors in monkeys were associated with isolation rearing, a practice that ended more than two decades ago. The present authors named various forms of behaviors in which a leg is elevated for no apparent reason: “Floating Limb Suite” (FLS). Floating limb behaviors, identified in laboratory monkeys at the Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC), consist of two subcategories distinguished by whethe…

Survey of environmental enhancement programs for laboratory primates
Animal welfare regulations in the United States require that nonhuman primate environmental enhancement plans be made in accordance with currently accepted professional standards; however, little information is available for quantifying common practice. Here we report the results of a 2003 survey that was sent to individuals overseeing enrichment programs at a variety of primate research institutions. The surveys requested information on program …
Factors predicting increased incidence of abnormal behavior in male pigtailed macaques
To identify factors predicting abnormal behavior in laboratory monkeys, we observed all available singly housed 4‐ to 11‐year‐old male pigtailed macaques ( Macaca nemestrina ), the species/age/sex group most likely to be referred to the Washington National Primate Research Center's Psychological Well‐Being Program for behavioral assessment. Of the 87 subjects, 29 had been referred to the program whereas 58 had not. Abnormal behavior was unrelated…
Mantled howler population of Hacienda La Pacifica, Costa Rica, between 1991 and 1998
A survey of the mantled howler ( Alouatta palliata ) population on Hacienda La Pacifica, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, was done in July and August of 1998 to determine population parameters following deforestation due to major canal construction between 1990 and 1994. The survey was carried out in a manner identical to our 1991 survey and consisted of a single pass and two re‐surveys of all forested areas of the farm. As canal construction effectively …
Behavior, appetite, and urinary cortisol responses by adult female pigtailed macaques to cage size, cage level, room change, and ketamine sedation
Pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) and longtailed macaques (M. fascicularis) show behavioral, ecological, and possible temperament differences, and their responses to the laboratory environment might therefore be quite different. We tested pigtailed macaques under the same conditions that were investigated in a previous study with longtailed macaques, using the same comprehensive set of physiological and behavioral measures of stress. First, …
Infanticide by Males and its Implications
Male primates, carnivores and rodents sometimes kill infants that they did not sire. Infanticide by males is a relatively common phenomenon in these groups, but tends to be rare in any given species. Is this behavior pathological or accidental, or does it reflect a conditional reproductive strategy for males in certain circumstances? In this book, case studies and reviews confirm the adaptive nature of infanticide in males in primates, and help t…

Differences in stress reactivity of laboratory macaques measured by heart period and respiratory sinus arrhythmia
Some laboratory primates are more likely than others to react to anxiety-provoking stressors. Individuals that overreact to stressors may experience diminished psychological well-being and would be inappropriate for some experiments. The differences between reactive and nonreactive individuals may be reflected in heart period and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA). Using surface electrodes and radio telemetry, we measured these two cardiac variab…

Modeling managed monkey populations
Computer simulation of population dynamics can be useful in managing harvested populations of monkeys on islands. Between 1988 and 1991, 420 adult female and 58 adult male simian retrovirus-free Macaca fascicularis were released onto Tinjil Island, Indonesia, to provide the nucleus for a free-ranging breeding colony. Natural habitat breeding facilities are excellent alternatives to wild trapping and compound breeding, maximizing the health and we…

Sex differences in compatibility of pair‐housed adult longtailed macaques
This research was designed to evaluate the effects of same‐sex pair housing on the psychological well‐being of adult wild‐born longtailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ). We studied behavioral compatibility and stress as measured by urinary cortisol excretion in 15 pairs of each sex. Before they were housed together, the pairs were categorized by noncontact pairedpreference testing as preferred, nonpreferred, or randomly assigned partners. Every…

Urinary cortisol responses of longtailed macaques to five cage sizes, tethering, sedation, and room change
Urinary free cortisol responses to five cage sizes, cage level, room change, tethering adaptation, chronic catheterization, and ketamine sedation were measured in 14 female and 14 male wild‐born adult Macaca fascicularis. Urinary free cortisol, a physiological measure of psychological well‐being that can be collected unobtrusively, provided a measure of the animals' general adrenocortical response to various conditions over a time course of hours…
Inferring patterns of aggression from red howler monkey injuries
Venezuelan red howler monkeys in a semideciduous habitat typically survive injuries and disabilities. Intraspecific physical aggression was the most frequently observed and inferred cause of injury. Thirty‐eight percent of 119 howlers of all ages examined during capture had scars or other evidence of “damage.” Overall, the sexes did not differ significantly in total number of injuries or number of individuals classified as “damaged.” The incidenc…
Red howler monkey birth data II
Data presented in this paper are derived from the births and subsequent histories of red howler infants born in two habitats. Overall the sex ratio of infants at birth was about 1:1. Infant survivorship (at 1 yr) was about 80%, and 44% of infant mortality was attributed to infanticide by males. Survivorship curves indicated a dramatic sex difference, with far fewer females than males known to be alive at age 7 yr. However, this sex difference may…
Red howler monkey birth data I
A large set of birth data from a population of red howler monkeys ( Alouatta seniculus ) in two habitats found a consistent birth “dip,” with births occurring less frequently in early wet season (May–July) than during the remaining months. In one of two habitats, births were negatively correlated with rainfall, and viable conceptions were positively correlated with rainfall. The observed degree of within‐troop birth synchrony appeared to reflect …

Gestation length red howler monkeys
Gestations determined for Venezuelan Alouatta seniculus seniculus are within the range of those reported for Costa Rican Alouatta palliata Gray. Earlier reports of considerably shorter gestations for this genus appear to be inacurate
