Effects of Age, Sex, and Social Network on Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Gut Microbiome of Tibetan Macaques (<i>Macaca thibetana</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Based on metagenomic and behavioral data from wild Tibetan macaques, this study reveals a unique gut resistome profile dominated by multidrug resistance genes. While individual factors like age, sex, and social centrality did not affect overall ARG diversity, they significantly influenced the abundance of specific, high‐prevalence ARGs.

Characterization of intraocular pressure responses of the Tibetan monkey (Macaca thibetana). [PDF]

Mol Vis, 2011
To characterize the effects of circadian rhythm, feeding time, age, general anesthesia, and ocular hypotensive compounds on intraocular pressure (IOP) of the Tibetan monkey (Macaca thibetana).Tibetan monkeys were trained for IOP measurement with the TonoVet® rebound tonometer without sedation or anesthesia. Their circadian IOP fluctuation was monitored

A Method for Preparing Morphologically Preserved Wildlife Fecal Specimens for Long-Term Ecological Studies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study introduces a novel multistep immersion method to preserve wildlife fecal samples, maintaining morphological integrity, DNA stability (100% extraction success, > 99% BLAST match rates), and resistance to mold/insect damage for 6 months. The technique also enables heavy metal detection, transforming feces into a durable resource for long‐term ...

Video-Sound Recording Devices Reveal Multiple Drivers of Nocturnal Vocalizations in Tibetan Macaques. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the nocturnal vocal behavior of Tibetan macaques in Huangshan, China, using 4G infrared cameras and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). Findings reveal a bimodal vocalization pattern (18:00–19:00 and 21:00–23:00), influenced by sex, age, social centrality, kinship, and ecological factors such as wind direction, temperature, and ...

Health Correlates of Extended Longevity in Captive Ring-Tailed Lemurs (Lemur catta). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Male and female ring‐tailed lemurs exhibit distinct patterns of age‐related change in certain serum chemistry markers. Photo by David Haring. ABSTRACT Captive primates maintained at accredited institutions can live extraordinarily long lives and, as a result, are useful models for understanding the physiology of aging. Many institutions monitor primate

Historical Demography and Species Distribution Models Shed Light on Speciation in Primates of Northeast India. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Northeast India's diverse geography has created numerous niches, promoting species evolution, with past climate change playing a significant role in primate speciation. Using climate modeling and genomic data, we studied the demographic history of nine primate species, revealing that climate fluctuations during the Pliocene and Pleistocene influenced ...

Behavioral Contagion in Wild Ecuadorian White-Fronted Capuchins (Cebus aequatorialis). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
White‐fronted capuchins exhibit scratching contagion, but neither the characteristics of the trigger, or of the partner's (sex, age class, or centrality), or of the dyad (combination of sex, combination of age class, or social bond) seem to modulate the likelihood of contagion.

The Temporal and Spatial Responses of Large and Medium Mammals to Anthropogenic Disturbances in Montane Southwest China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study provides new insights for conserving rare wildlife in southwest China's mountainous regions, highlighting the importance of using camera traps to directly monitor anthropogenic disturbance and quantify its impact on species survival. The varying responses of threatened medium and large mammals to human activities emphasize the spatiotemporal

Mitochondrial DNA variation in Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana)

Folia Zoologica, 2010
Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) are a threatened primate species endemic to China. The current taxonomy of the species is based on external morphological and anatomical variations. To further understand the intraspecific variation and relationships among populations, we analyzed 44 mitochondrial DNA control region sequences (475 bp fragment) from ...
