Sleeping-Site Decisions in Tibetan Macaques: Social and Seasonal Drivers [PDF]
AnimalsSleeping-site selection is a critical decision-making process in animals, influenced by evolutionary pressures. However, the key factors controlling this choice under group demography, and how these vary seasonally, remain poorly understood.

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 EvolThis 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 ...

Aging-Related Behavioral Patterns in Tibetan Macaques
Biology, 2023 Aging can induce changes in social behaviors among humans and nonhuman primates (NHPs). Therefore, investigating the aging process in primate species can provide valuable evidence regarding age-related concerns in humans.

Effects of Hierarchical Steepness on Grooming Patterns in Female Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Hierarchical steepness, defined as status asymmetries among conspecifics living in the same group, is not only used as a main characteristic of animal social relationships, but also represents the degree of discrepancy between supply and demand within ...
