Grooming networks reveal intra- and intersexual social relationships in Macaca thibetana
The analysis of grooming networks is a powerful tool to examine individual social and sexual relationships and how these relationships change over time. In this study, we investigated the seasonal dynamics of intra- and intersexual social relationships in Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) based on grooming interactions.

Young Alu elements that have been inserted recently in macaque genomes are still polymorphic for insertion presence/absence at the individual and population levels. They have been considered as a powerful tool in population genetics of primates. Combining a computational approach and a PCR display method based on primers of OWM-specific Alu subfamilies,

Macaca thibetana at Mt. Emei, China: III. Group composition
American Journal of Primatology, 1988AbstractData on group composition at the end of the 1986 birth season were collected from six groups of Macaca thibetana. All adult males, the members of group A, and some conspicuous animals were recognized individually. Fourhundred survey sessions were completed.

Natural Foods and Their Ecological Implications for Macaca thibetana at Mount Emei, China
Folia Primatologica, 1991Natural food plants of partly provisioned groups of Macaca thibetana included about 196 species belonging to 135 genera and 72 families. The macaques consumed mainly bamboo shoots and fruits for about 2 months in autumn, whereas they relied on active or passive provisions from visitors, a variety of structural parts of plants and a small amount of ...

Macaca thibetana at Mt. Emei, China: II. Birth seasonality
American Journal of Primatology, 1988AbstractBirth censuses were conducted every 2 or 3 days for each of six groups of Macaca thibetana along trails at Mt. Emei in southwest China from March 7 to June 15, 1986. Based on direct observations and the timetable of forehead hair growth and behavior, each of 32 infants could be placed in one of sixteen 14‐day periods of the 1986 birth season ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Macaca thibetana and a novel nuclear mitochondrial pseudogene
Gene, 2009The complete mitochondrial genome of Macaca thibetana was determined by the long and accurate polymerase chain reaction (LA-PCR) and primer walking sequencing methods. It is 16,540 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and one control region. Most codon usage followed the typical pattern of vertebrates.

Dominance Style Among Macaca thibetana on Mt. Huangshan, China
International Journal of Primatology, 2004The dominance style concept has proven useful for understanding covariation patterns in relationship qualities, particularly among macaques. However, the dominance styles of many macaques, including Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana), have not been examined in detail. We describe patterns of bidirectionality of aggression, postconflict affiliation and

Non-reproductive copulation behavior among Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Huangshan, China
Primates, 2006Non-reproductive copulation, which takes place outside of the mating season and does not result in conception and birth, was studied in a free-ranging group of Tibetan monkeys (Macaca thibetana) at Mt. Huangshan, China, in the birth seasons of 1992 and 1997.
