Sex-specific heritability of spontaneous lipid levels in an extended pedigree of Indian-origin rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The rhesus macaque is an important model for human atherosclerosis but genetic determinants of relevant phenotypes have not yet been investigated in this species.

Malaria disrupts the rhesus macaque gut microbiome

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Previous studies have suggested that a relationship exists between severity and transmissibility of malaria and variations in the gut microbiome, yet only limited information exists on the temporal dynamics of the gut microbial community during a malarial infection.

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Paternity testing for crab‐eating macaques and rhesus macaques using microsatellite markers

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine
Accurate macaque paternity identification is of great significance in various fields, yet relevant research remains scarce. Our study aimed to screen effective microsatellite markers for macaque paternity testing.

Natural Norovirus Infections in Rhesus Macaques [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Using a recently developed real-time reverse transcription PCR, I retested 500 fecal samples from rhesus macaques collected in 2008. Previous conventional reverse transcription PCR testing identified 1 isolate of GII norovirus; retesting found GI, GII, and possible GIV noroviruses in the samples, indicating the natural circulation of noroviruses in ...

An autonomous network of acoustic detectors to map tiger risk by eavesdropping on prey alarm calls

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Tiger population recovery brings with it increased fatalities from human‐tiger conflict. We describe a network of autonomous intelligent passive acoustic sensors that monitor the forest for deer alarm calls as a proxy for tiger risk and provide a risk map to local communities in real‐time.

Dietary shift of the common leopard Panthera pardus in and around Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, western Himalayas: implications for conservation and human–wildlife conflict

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the dietary patterns of apex predator like the common leopard Panthera pardus is essential for evaluating their ecological role, particularly in landscapes where human–wildlife conflict is prevalent. In this context, this study investigates the seasonal diet composition of the common leopard in and around the Bani Wildlife Sanctuary, a ...

Impact of Social Grooming on Age‐Related Immune Health in Captive Baboons

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primate social behaviors are known to mitigate a number of negative psychological and physiological problems. Social connectedness in wild baboons can predict longevity and health, but the relationship between social grooming and physical health in captive baboons is less known.

Joint modeling of multiple social networks to elucidate primate social dynamics: I. maximum entropy principle and network-based interactions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In a complex behavioral system, such as an animal society, the dynamics of the system as a whole represent the synergistic interaction among multiple aspects of the society.

Hippocampal subfield differences in people with and without recreational ketamine use: Insights from multi‐modal neuroimaging

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Recreational ketamine use has increased globally and is associated with psychiatric and cognitive concerns. The hippocampus in preclinical models shows damage and working‐memory disruption with repeated dosing. However, whether specific hippocampal subregions may differ in people with chronic ketamine use remains unclear ...
