Stereotypic and self‐injurious behavior in rhesus macaques
Abnormal behavior in captive rhesus monkeys can range from active whole‐body and self‐directed stereotypies to self‐injurious behavior (SIB). Although abnormal behaviors are common in singly‐housed rhesus monkeys, the type and frequency of these behaviors are highly variable across individual animals, and the factors influencing them are equally varied. The purpose of this investigation was to survey abnormal behavior in a large population of rhe…
Correlation as Probability of Common Descent
We highlight one interpretation of Pearson's r (largely unknown to behavioral scientists), inspired by the genetic measurement of inbreeding. The coefficient of inbreeding, defined as the probability that two paired alleles originate from common descent, equals the correlation between the uniting gametes. We specify the statistical conditions under which r can be interpreted as probability of identity by descent and explore the possibility of gen…
Aging in rhesus monkeys
Rhesus monkeys were observed longitudinally from 6 to 20 years of age, the period encompassing early to late adulthood in this species. Repeated-measures analyses of the monkeys' behavioral repertoire revealed 3 quite different pictures of the aging process. First, there were significant systematic changes in the levels of many categories of behavior with increasing age, although the direction and timing of change varied from category to category…
