Sexual Interference Behaviors in Male Adult and Subadult Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Male nonhuman primate sexual interference, which includes copulation interruption and copulation harassment, has been related to reproductive success, but its significance has been challenging to test. Copulation interruption results in the termination of a copulation before ejaculation, whereas copulation harassment does not.

Seasonal Change in Activity Rhythms and Time Budgets of Tibetan Macaques
Biology, 2022 Activity rhythms and time budgets are important to understand behavioral variability and adaptation in primates because animals normally use a behavioral adjustment as a preferential choice in response to environmental changes. Therefore, we observed a group of un-provisioned Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) in Tianhu Mountain County Nature Reserve,

Infant attraction: why social bridging matters for female leadership in Tibetan macaques [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2020 Abstract Leadership is a key issue in the study of collective behavior in social animals. Affiliation–leadership models predict that dyadic partner preferences based on grooming relationships or alliance formation positively affect an individual’s decision to follow or support a conspecific.

Genetic Architecture of Immune Cell DNA Methylation in the Rhesus Macaque. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Genetic variation that impacts gene regulation, rather than protein function, can have strong effects on trait variation both within and between species. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, are often an important intermediate link between genotype and phenotype, yet genetic effects on DNA methylation remain understudied in natural ...

Tibetan Macaque Social Style: Covariant and Quasi-independent Evolution [PDF]
, 2019 AbstractUnderstanding the evolutionary origins of group social structure is vital to understanding how individuals deal with the trade-offs of group living. In this chapter, we review our previous work related to social style in Tibetan macaques and across macaque species, focusing on whether, and the extent to which, indicators of social style covary ...

Social Relationships Impact Collective Decision-Making in Tibetan Macaques [PDF]
, 2019 In a group of animals, interests and needs among group members can be very different. To benefit from group-living, individuals must therefore coordinate each other’s activities when they perform collective actions. Collective decision-making is a key mechanism during coordination, and it allows all members of a social group to reach a consensus.
