The ocular surface microbiome of rhesus macaques
Animal MicrobiomeBackground The ocular surface microbiota (OSM) is important for eye health, and variations in OSM composition have been associated with multiple diseases in humans. Studies of OSM-disease dynamics in humans are confounded by lifestyle factors.

Neonatal Imitation in Rhesus Macaques [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 The emergence of social behaviors early in life is likely crucial for the development of mother-infant relationships. Some of these behaviors, such as the capacity of neonates to imitate adult facial movements, were previously thought to be limited to humans and perhaps the ape lineage. Here we report the behavioral responses of infant rhesus macaques (

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.

Positional Inference in Rhesus Macaques
Animal Cognition, 2020 Understanding how organisms make transitive inferences is critical to understanding their general ability to learn serial relationships. In this context, transitive inference (TI) can be understood as a specific heuristic that applies broadly to many different serial learning tasks, which have been the focus of hundreds of studies involving dozens of ...

Ulcerative Cheilitis in a Rhesus Macaque [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 2011 A 2-year-old, female, simian immunodeficiency virus E543–infected rhesus macaque ( Macaca mulatta) was presented for necropsy following euthanasia due to a history of diarrhea, weight loss, and a small, round ulcer along the left labial commissure.

Origin and Development of the Claustrum in Rhesus Macaque
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Abstract Understanding the claustrum’s functions has recently progressed thanks to new anatomical and behavioral studies in rodents, which suggest that it plays an important role in attention, salience detection, slow-wave generation, and neocortical network synchronization.

Eosinophilic fasciitis in a rhesus macaque [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1992 AbstractEosinophilic fasciitis (EF) is an inflammatory disorder in the category of scleroderma‐like connective tissue diseases. There are no animal models for spontaneously occurring EF. We present the case of a rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) with clinical, laboratory, and histologic features of EF.

Copy number variants and fixed duplications among 198 rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta).
PLoS Genetics, 2020 The rhesus macaque is an abundant species of Old World monkeys and a valuable model organism for biomedical research due to its close phylogenetic relationship to humans.

Serial Expertise of Rhesus Macaques [PDF]
Psychological Science, 2003 Here we describe the development of serial expertise in 4 experimentally naive rhesus monkeys that learned, by trial and error, the correct order in which to respond to 3-, 4-, and 7-item lists of arbitrarily selected photographs. The probabilities of guessing the correct sequence on 3-, 4-, and 7-item lists were, respectively, 1/6, 1/24, and 1/5,040.

Identifying rhesus macaque gene orthologs using heterospecific human CNV probes
Genomics Data, 2015 We used the Affymetrix® Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 to identify heterospecific markers and compare copy number and structural genomic variation between humans and rhesus macaques. Over 200,000 human copy number variation (CNV) probes were mapped to a
