Effects of Age, Sex, and Social Network on Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Gut Microbiome of Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe transmission and dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have increasingly drawn global attention. However, our knowledge of the antibiotic resistance gene pool in wild primates' gut microbiomes and its influencing factors remains limited.

Effects of captive and primate-focused tourism on the gut microbiome of Tibetan macaques
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Documenting the effects of anthropogenic activities on the gut microbiome of wild animals is important to their conservation practices. Captivity and ecotourism are generally considered two common anthropogenic disturbances on the health of nonhuman ...

Female behavioral strategies during consortship in Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Consortship has been defined as a temporary association between an adult male and an estrous/receptive female. It has been considered as male mating strategies to improve male mating success and potential reproductive success.

Aging-Related Behavioral Patterns in Tibetan Macaques. [PDF]
Biology (Basel), 2023 Aging can induce changes in social behaviors among humans and nonhuman primates (NHPs). Therefore, investigating the aging process in primate species can provide valuable evidence regarding age-related concerns in humans. However, the link between aging and behavioral patterns in nonhuman primates remains poorly comprehended.

Positional Behavior and Substrate Use in Wild Tibetan Macaques
Animals, 2022 Body size and individual development significantly affect positional behavior and substrate use. However, only a few studies have been conducted on immature wild macaques. We studied wild Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) inhabiting Mt.
