Health Correlates of Extended Longevity in Captive Ring‐Tailed Lemurs (Lemur catta)
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

In group-living animals, males’ fighting abilities were usually mediated via dominance rank to sort males into a queue to access fertile females, especially in non-human primates. However, the correlation between male reproductive success and consortship,

The Vocal Repertoire of Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) and Congeneric Comparisons [PDF]
Macaques are the most geographically widespread and behaviorally diverse non-human primate genus and are ideal for teasing apart the effects of phylogenetic, social, and ecological factors on the evolution of communication. I explored vocal complexity and made congeneric comparisons between Tibetan macaques and other species by identifying homologous ...

Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

猕猴(Macaca mulatta)营群体生活.既使猕猴个体来自不同地区,分别进行单个饲养,相互间不进行接触,但只要一见面,通过行为、姿势和语言交流,它们即能确定各自的等级地位.1985年起,我在千岛湖猴岛观察了猕猴和藏酋猴(Macaca thibetana)的行为,发现猕猴较藏酋猴语言丰富,现将观察结果披露如下:猕猴主要通过眼睛,身体动作和叫声来传递信息.眼睛、身体动作表达的语言称之为“行为姿势语”;叫声称之为“信号语”;这二种用语常常互为联系,混为使用,我姑且称为“混合语”三类.

Current patterns and mitigation strategies of human-wildlife conflicts in Chinese protected areas
Human-wildlife conflicts (HWCs), driven by habitat fragmentation, species recovery, and climate change, have intensified globally and are increasingly prevalent in China, especially in and around protected areas (PAs). This study investigates HWCs in 164

Mitochondrial DNA variation in Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana)
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 ...

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

This study revealed the basic structures of gut mycobiota of three wild Rhinopithecus species. The gut mycobiota of Rhinopithecus showed close connection with their feeding habits, and there were associations between gut mycobiota and the host's living environments.

ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge
