Nonhuman primate abnormal behavior
Across captive settings, nonhuman primates may develop an array of abnormal behaviors including stereotypic and self‐injurious behavior. Abnormal behavior can indicate a state of poor welfare, since it is often associated with a suboptimal environment. However, this may not always be the case as some behaviors can develop independently of any psychological distress, be triggered in environments known to promote welfare, and be part of an animal's…
The correlation between alopecia and temperament in rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) at four primate facilities
Alopecia is a ubiquitous, multifaceted problem at facilities caring for captive rhesus macaques. There is a wide range of potential etiologies for the hair loss, including compromised immune function, dermatological pathologies, and environmental factors. However, few studies have examined whether various temperamental traits affect vulnerability to develop alopecia. We examined the correlation between alopecia and temperament in 101 (51M) indoor…
Responses to the Human Intruder Test are related to hair cortisol phenotype and sex in rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
Measurement of cortisol in hair provides a chronic index of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity and has been applied to assessments of temperament (stable behavioral differences between individuals). However, the extent to which chronically high HPA axis activity relates to a correspondingly high degree of behavioral reactivity is as yet unknown. Therefore, the goal of the present experiment was to assess the relationship between h…
Assessing significant (>30%) alopecia as a possible biomarker for stress in captive rhesus monkeys ( Macaca mulatta )
Hair loss is common in macaque colonies. Very little is known about the relationship between psychological stress and hair loss. We initially examined alopecia and hair cortisol concentrations in 198 (89 male) rhesus macaques from three primate centers and demonstrated replicability of our previous finding that extensive alopecia (>30% hair loss) is associated with increased chronic cortisol concentrations and significantly affected by facility. …
Early predictors of self‐biting in socially‐housed rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta )
The development of self‐biting behavior in captive monkeys is little understood and poses a serious risk to their well‐being. Although early rearing conditions may influence the expression of this behavior, not all animals reared under similar conditions self‐bite. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of three rearing conditions on biting behavior and to determine whether early infant behavior can predict later self‐biting. The su…
Extinction deficits in male rhesus macaques with a history of self‐injurious behavior
Self‐injurious behavior (SIB) occurs in both human and nonhuman primate populations. Despite the potential for harm, SIB may persist in part because of an inability to inhibit behavior that results in wounding. A lever‐pressing task was used to test the prediction that monkeys with SIB would show greater persistence in lever‐pressing on extinction trials than monkeys without the disorder. The subjects were 15 individually‐housed adult male rhesus…
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…
Techniques for collecting saliva from awake, unrestrained, adult monkeys for cortisol assay
Cortisol levels serve as an index of pituitary-adrenal activity in nonhuman primates. In adult monkeys, cortisol is normally measured in blood (typically requiring restraint or sedation) or urine (reflecting a state rather than point estimate). In contrast, saliva collection is less invasive than drawing blood and allows for repeated sampling within a short period of time. Although protocols exist for collecting saliva from young monkeys, these p…
Infant monkeys' visual responses to drawings of normal and distorted faces
Face-like patterns attract attention from both human and nonhuman primates. The present study explored the facial preferences in infant pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina). Twenty-five subjects looked at 20 paired drawings of adult conspecific monkey faces, and their looking time was recorded. The facial features in the drawings were arranged in positions ranging from a normal to a scrambled face. The subjects looked at the normal face more th…
