Macaque–human interactions and the societal perceptions of macaques in Singapore [PDF]

American Journal of Primatology, 2009
AbstractHumans and long‐tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) interface in several locations in Singapore. We investigated six of these interface zones to assess the level of conflict between the two species. We observed macaque‐to‐human interactions and distributed questionnaires to residents and visitors of nature reserves.

Evaluating depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in non-human primates

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2023
Depression and anxiety are some of the most prevalent and debilitating mental health conditions in humans. They can present on their own or as co-morbidities with other disorders. Like humans, non-human primates (NHPs) can develop depression- and anxiety-

Mechanisms of distributed working memory in a large-scale network of macaque neocortex

eLife, 2022
Neural activity underlying working memory is not a local phenomenon but distributed across multiple brain regions. To elucidate the circuit mechanism of such distributed activity, we developed an anatomically constrained computational model of large ...

The Mammary Glands of Macaques [PDF]

Toxicologic Pathology, 2008
This review describes the normal biology and physiology of the mammary gland in macaques, including the typical histologic appearance across the life span (development, reproductive maturity, lactation, and senescence). The molecular events regulating breast morphogenesis are described, as well as systemic and local hormonal regulators of mammary gland

Decidualization of Endometriosis in Macaques [PDF]

Veterinary Pathology, 2016
The decidua is the superficial portion of endometrium that transforms, or decidualizes, under the influence of progesterone to nourish the early embryo during pregnancy. Deciduae outside the uterus are found in nearly 100% of human pregnancies. This condition, known as deciduosis, may mimic malignancy, resulting in additional diagnostic procedures that

Experimental Infection of Rhesus and Pig-Tailed Macaques with Macaque Rhadinoviruses [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1999
ABSTRACT The recognition of naturally occurring rhadinoviruses in macaque monkeys has spurred interest in their use as models for human infection with Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 8). Rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) and pig-tailed macaques ( Macaca nemestrina

Ambiguity aversion in rhesus macaques [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2010
People generally prefer risky options, which have fully specified outcome probabilities, to ambiguous options, which have unspecified probabilities. This preference, formalized in economics, is strong enough that people will reliably prefer a risky option to an ambiguous option with a greater expected value.

An update of the macaque testis proteome

Data in Brief, 2015
The genome sequence of rhesus macaque is a draft version with many errors and is lack of Y chromosome annotation. In the present dataset, we reanalyzed the previously published macaque testis proteome. We searched for refined protein sequences, potential

Dusky Langurs Trachypithecus obscurus (Reid, 1837) (Primates: Cercopithecidae) in Singapore: potential origin and conflicts with native primate species

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2020
The introduction of exotic species can have detrimental effects on local populations via factors such as resource competition and new threats from disease.

Electroretinographic responses to luminance and cone-isolating white noise stimuli in macaques

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Electroretinograms (ERGs) are mass potentials with a retinal origin that can be measured non-invasively. They can provide information about the physiology of the retina. Often, ERGs are measured to flashes that are highly unnatural stimuli.
