Effects of Age, Sex, and Social Network on Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Gut Microbiome of Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe transmission and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have increasingly drawn global attention. However, our knowledge of the antibiotic resistance gene pool in wild primates' gut microbiomes and its influencing factors remains limited.

Video‐Sound Recording Devices Reveal Multiple Drivers of Nocturnal Vocalizations in Tibetan Macaques [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionNocturnal vocalizations not only reflect communications at night, but also reveal adaptive strategies of animals. Previous research focused on the vocalizations of nocturnal species, with little attention to nocturnal vocalizations in diurnal animals ...

Seasonal Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasites in Macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Mount Emei Scenic Area in China [PDF]
Animals, 2022 The aim of the study was to elucidate the prevalence of intestinal parasites in macaques at the Mt. Emei Scenic Area of Sichuan, China. A total of 168 fecal samples were collected from yellow (n = 31), black (n = 19), new (n = 57), Leidongping (n = 57 ...

Linking the bacterial microbiome between gut and habitat soil of Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana). [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 AbstractSoil is a part of the habitat environment of terrestrial or semi‐terrestrial mammals, which contains a wide variety of microbes. Although the soil microbiome of the host habitat is considered to be a potentially important influence factor on the mammalian gut microbiome and health, few data are currently available to explore the relationship ...

Variation of Gut Microbiome in Free-Ranging Female Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) across Different Reproductive States [PDF]
Animals, 2020 The gut microbiome is expected to adapt to the varying energetic and nutritional pressures in females of different reproductive states. Changes in the gut microbiome may lead to varying nutrient utilizing efficiency in pregnant and lactating female ...

Interchange between grooming and infant handling in female Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana). [PDF]
Zool Res, 2019 In some nonhuman primates, infants function as a social tool that can bridge relationships among group members. Infants are a desired commodity for group members, and mothers control access to them. The biological market theory suggests that grooming is widespread and represents a commodity that can be exchanged for infant handling.

Bridging may help young female Tibetan macaques Macaca thibetana learn to be a mother. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractAttraction to infants is a common feature of non-human primates. Frequent affiliative male-infant interactions have been observed in many multimale, multifemale groups of macaques, including a behaviour termed ‘bridging’ in which two male macaques simultaneously lift an infant.

Male Tibetan macaques'(Macaca thibetana) choice of infant bridging partners. [PDF]
Dongwuxue Yanjiu, 2014 Adult male Tibetan (Macaca thibetana), Barbary (M. sylvanus), and stump-tailed macaques (M. arctoides) engage in bridging, a ritualized infant-handling behavior. Previous researchers found a bias toward the use of male infants for this behavior, but its function is debated.
