Genomics Insights Into High‐Latitude Adaptation of Tibetan Macaques [PDF]
Advanced ScienceFew nonhuman primates inhabit high‐latitude regions that pose significant adaptive challenges. The Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana) represents a rare primate species entirely distributed north of the Tropic of Cancer.

Consistent Individual Differences Drive Collective Movements in a Tibetan Macaque Group [PDF]
AnimalsCollective movement has emerged as a key area of interest in animal behavior. While individual differences are often viewed as a potential threat to group cohesion, growing evidence suggests that these differences can actually influence an animal’s ...

Video‐Sound Recording Devices Reveal Multiple Drivers of Nocturnal Vocalizations in Tibetan Macaques [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionNocturnal vocalizations not only reflect communications at night, but also reveal adaptive strategies of animals. Previous research focused on the vocalizations of nocturnal species, with little attention to nocturnal vocalizations in diurnal animals ...

The Food Niche Overlap and Interspecific Relationship between the Sympatric Tibetan Macaque and Grey Snub-Nosed Monkey [PDF]
Animals, 2023 Assessing the trophic niche and interspecific relationships between related species and determining how the species maintain differences in nutritional niches while coexisting in the same area are important topics in ecological research.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Tibetan Macaque (Macaca thibetana) Provides New Insight into the Macaque Evolutionary History [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2014 Macaques are the most widely distributed nonhuman primates and used as animal models in biomedical research. The availability of full-genome sequences from them would be essential to both biomedical and primate evolutionary studies. Previous studies have reported whole-genome sequences from rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) and cynomolgus macaque (M ...

The prospect of rising in rank is key to long-term stability in Tibetan macaque society [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 One of the most fundamental questions in behavioural biology is why societies can persist for a long period of time. While researchers in animal behaviour have been hindered by a lack of an aggregate measure (such as social mobility) to quantify the ...

Social risk to infant: The role of kin for maternal visual monitoring in Tibetan macaques [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMaternal monitoring of conspecifics is a crucial anti‐predator strategy that also protects infants against risks within the social group. This study examines how maternal characteristics, infant characteristics, mother–infant distance, and the social ...

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.

Assessing the Influence of Environmental Sources on the Gut Mycobiome of Tibetan Macaques [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The distribution and availability of microbes in the environment has an important effect on the composition of the gut microbiome of wild vertebrates. However, our current knowledge of gut-environmental interactions is based principally on data from the ...

Captivity Is Associated With Gut Mycobiome Composition in Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Although recent studies have revealed that gut fungi may play an important functional role in animal biology and health, little is known concerning the effects of anthropogenic pressures on the gut mycobiome.
