Impact of Translocation, Provisioning and Range Restriction on a Group of Macaca thibetana

International Journal of Primatology, 2002
We examined the possible long-term impact of translocation and subsequent provisioning and range restriction on recruitment rates in a group of rare Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) in Anhui Province, China. We compared demographic data recorded in the group (and in its fission products) during the 6 years before and after translocation and in a ...

Social Development of Infants of Macaca thibetana at Mount Emei, China

Folia Primatologica, 1993
The development of infant Mαcαcα thibetαnα was studied at Mount Emei, China, and compared to that of other macaque species. It was found that there are many common features in the process of infant socialization in species of the genus Mαcαcα: mothers play an important and active role, other group members influence the infants’ development to a greater

Social Structure in a Wild Group of Macaca thibetana at Mount Emei, China

Folia Primatologica, 1987
Data on social interactions were collected mainly in the non-mating season, for one wild but partly provisioned group of Macaca thibetana whose members were individually recognized. Analysis of spontaneous and induced agonistic interactions revealed that a linear dominance hierarchy existed among individuals as in most macaque species studied to date ...

Dramatic Consequences of Food Handouts to Macaca thibetana at Mount Emei, China

Folia Primatologica, 1992
Food handouts to Macaca thibetαnα at Mt. Emei have had dramatic consequences for both man and monkey as tourism has increased over the last decade. Food handouts and human submissive behaviour facilitate beg-robbing by the monkeys, which can be regarded as a mixed conditioning chain.

Development and characterization of 29 SNP markers for the Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana)

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2018
Macaca thibetana is an endemic species to China that is listed as near threatened in the IUCN Red Data Book. The species has previously been used in animal models for biomedical research. Due to anthropogenic impacts, the wild populations of M.

Using biological markets principles to examine patterns of grooming exchange in Macaca thibetana

American Journal of Primatology, 2011
AbstractBiological markets principles offer testable hypotheses to explain variation in grooming exchange patterns among nonhuman primates. They predict that when within‐group contest competition (WGC) is high and dominance hierarchies steep, grooming interchange with other “commodity” behaviors (such as agonistic support) should prevail.

Seasonal changes in body weight of Macaca thibetana at Mt. Emei, China

American Journal of Primatology, 1994
AbstractThis 1991–1992 study was designed to expand previous research on body weight (BW) in Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Mt. Emei. Data on BW were collected in late autumn (LA) and late winter (LW) in groups ranging above 1,200 m. Over the winter, the BW fell significantly from a mean of 16.8 to 11.4 kg in females and from 19.5 to 17.0 kg in
