Feasibility of Field Oral Health Assessment in Free‐Ranging Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) on Cayo Santiago
Free‐ranging rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) on Cayo Santiago provide a uniquely characterized translational model for periodontal disease, supported by decades of demographic and genetic data. To assess the feasibility of conducting comprehensive periodontal examinations, oral biospecimen collection, and portable intraoral radiography in free‐ranging macaques during a 5‐day pilot field campaign. Eighteen macaques (7 males, 11 females; ages 9–23…
Assessing Variance in Male Reproductive Skew Based on Long‐Term Data in Free‐Ranging Rhesus Macaques
The unequal share in male reproduction (male reproductive skew) has been reported across primate species. To explain the distribution of male reproduction within groups various skew models have been applied to primates, however the “dynamic tug‐of‐war” model first accounted for the specifics of primate sociality. This model assumes that an increase in the number of competing males, a high degree of female cycle synchrony and their interaction wil…
Discovery of a secular trend in Cayo Santiago macaque reproduction
Reproductive synchrony and the consequent clustering of births are hypothesized to be regulated by seasonal changes in rainfall and food availability. Such climate-related seasonality is, however, questionable in tropical populations occupying temporally invariant habitats year round. Using the long-term data of the Cayo Santiago rhesus macaques from 1973 to 2013, this study distinguishes synchrony (a greater than chance clustering of births) fro…
Managing the Cayo Santiago rhesus macaque population
Cayo Santiago is the oldest continuously operating free-ranging rhesus monkey colony in the world. Population control of this colony has historically been carried out by periodic live capture and removal of animals. However, the effect of such a strategy on the size, growth rate, age structure, and sex ratio of the population has not been analyzed. This study reviews past removal data and uses a population projection model to simulate the effects…
Personality Traits in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) Are Heritable but Do Not Predict Reproductive Output
Demographic variability and density‐dependent dynamics of a free‐ranging rhesus macaque population
Density-dependence is hypothesized as the major mechanism of population regulation. However, the lack of long-term demographic data has hampered the use of density-dependent models in nonhuman primates. In this study, we make use of the long-term demographic data from Cayo Santiago's rhesus macaques to parameterize and analyze both a density-independent and a density-dependent population matrix model, and compare their projections with the observ…
