Directional asymmetry in the forelimb of Macaca mulatta
Asymmetry was investigated in the forelimbs of 150 rhesus monkey ( Macaca mulatta ) skeletons using measurements of right and left humerii, radii, ulnae, second metacarpals, and femora. Seven of the ten forelimb dimensions were larger on the right than on the left side. Paired t‐tests revealed that the mean of the right side was significantly larger than that for the left for two measurements of the ulna and two of the humerus. No measurement was…
Ontogenetic plasticity in nonhuman primates: I. Secular trends in the Cayo Santiago macaques
Although secular trends toward increasing body size are apprent in many human populations, little is known about their occurrence in nonhuman primates. The Cayo Santiago skeletal collection of Macaca mulatta includes 101 adult animals (⩾ 10 years of age) born at different times in the past 3 1⁄2 decades, so that variation in size may be examined relative to birth year. No secular trends in orbital height were observed in this sample, but in both …
Aging in the musculoskeletal system of rhesus monkeys: III. Bone loss
It is well established that aging of the human skeleton includes the loss of bone mass or density, but little comparative information on age‐related osteopenia in other primates is available. In order to determine whether bone loss occurs in normally locomoting nonhuman primates, radiographs of 139 rhesus monkey skeletons from the Cayo Santiago collection were examined, and measures of percent cortical bone (PCT) at the midshaft of second metacar…
Aging in the musculoskeletal system of rhesus monkeys: II. Degenerative joint disease
In order to discuss the rate and onset of adult aging in rhesus monkeys, 55 adult animals from the Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center and the University of Wisconsin Psychology Primate Laboratory were examined. Degenerative joint disease (DJD) at the hip and spine was scored, and loss of passive joint mobility at the hip was measured. Development of DJD at both the hip and spine was significantly and positively correlated with age. Spinal…
Vertebral pathology in the Afar australopithecines
Ten vertebral elements from the AL‐288 partial hominid skeleton and 11 elements from the AL‐333 collection are described. The AL‐288 column presents a marked kyphosis at the level of thoracic vertebrae 6 through 10, with pronounced new bone formation on the ventral surfaces of these vertebrae. These features, associated with narrowed disc space and minor osteophytosis, resemble Scheuermann disease in the human. Even though this diagnosis is consi…
Aging in the musculoskeletal system of rhesus monkeys: I. Passive joint excursion
In order to describe ontogenetic change in the musculoskeletal system of rhesus monkeys, 126 Macaca mulatta from Cayo Santiago, ranging in age from 7 months to 21 years, were examined under anesthesia. Passive joint excursions were measured at the wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, and knee. Mean ranges of excursion at these joints differed significantly between age groups and by sex. The potential for most movements appeared to decrease approximately …
