Familial periodontal disease in the cayo santiago rhesus macaques
Substantial ongoing research continues to explore the contribution of genetics and environment to the onset, extent and severity of periodontal disease(s). Existing evidence supports that periodontal disease appears to have an increased prevalence in family units with a member having aggressive periodontitis. We have been using the nonhuman primate as a model of periodontal disease for over 25 years with these species demonstrating naturally occu…
The ticking clock of Cayo Santiago macaques and its implications for understanding human circadian rhythm disorders
The circadian clock disorders in humans remain poorly understood. However, their impact on the development and progression of major human conditions, from cancer to insomnia, metabolic or mental illness becomes increasingly apparent. Addressing human circadian disorders in animal models is, in part, complicated by inverse temporal relationship between the core clock and specific physiological or behavioral processes in diurnal and nocturnal anima…

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…
Response of Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) to the Body of a Group Member That Died from a Fatal Attack
Tetanus antibody titers and duration of immunity to clinical tetanus infections in free‐ranging rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta )
Prior to 1985 tetanus was a major cause of mortality in the free‐ranging colony of rhesus monkeys on Cayo Santiago, accounting for almost a quarter of annual deaths. In 1985 and 1986 all animals (except infants) received primary and booster doses, respectively, of tetanus toxoid. In subsequent years primary immunizations were given to all yearlings, and boosters were administered to all 2‐year‐old animals during the annual capture of the colony. …
The ecology of the introduced patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas) population of Southwestern Puerto Rico
The ecology of the introduced patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas) population of Southwestern Puerto Rico
This paper presents the results of a study on the introduced, free-ranging patas monkey population of Southwestern Puerto Rico (SWPR). It describes information on the population size, social group composition, diet, daily ranging patterns, and patas home range during a 3 year period. The patas monkey population in the study area consisted of approximately 120 individuals in four heterosexual groups and several all-male bands. Within their home ra…
