Genetic Architecture of Immune Cell DNA Methylation in the Rhesus Macaque. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT 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 ...

Population genomics of wild Chinese rhesus macaques reveals a dynamic demographic history and local adaptation, with implications for biomedical research [PDF]

, 2018
Background The rhesus macaque (RM, Macaca mulatta) is the most important nonhuman primate model in biomedical research. We present the first genomic survey of wild RMs, sequencing 81 geo-referenced individuals of five subspecies from 17 locations in ...

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.

Determinants of immigration strategies in male crested macaques (Macaca nigra). [PDF]

, 2016
Immigration into a new group can produce substantial costs due to resistance from residents, but also reproductive benefits. Whether or not individuals base their immigration strategy on prospective costbenefit ratios remains unknown.

Variation of Gut Microbiome in Free-Ranging Female Tibetan Macaques (Macaca thibetana) across Different Reproductive States

Animals, 2020
The gut microbiome is expected to adapt to the varying energetic and nutritional pressures in females of different reproductive states. Changes in the gut microbiome may lead to varying nutrient utilizing efficiency in pregnant and lactating female ...

Collective decision-making in nocturnal huddling sleep: The influence of social factors on fans and fandom in Tibetan macaques

Global Ecology and Conservation
Social animals frequently exhibit huddling sleep behaviors in response to nocturnal ecological pressures. However, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of the decision-making process promoting huddle sleep.

Evidence of Vocal Gradation in the Vocal Repertoire of Wild Moor Macaques (Macaca maura)

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.
Social‐tolerant wild moor macaques produce graded vocalizations. ABSTRACT Nonhuman primates constitute an ideal model to study the evolutionary origins of human language, because of their close phylogenetic distance to humans and their reliance on complex communication systems that include different signal types.

Social tolerance in wild female crested macaques (Macaca nigra) in Tangkoko-Batuangus Nature Reserve, Sulawesi, Indonesia. [PDF]

, 2013
In primates, females typically drive the evolution of the social system and present a wide diversity of social structures. To understand this diversity, it is necessary to document the consistency and/or flexibility of female social structures across and

Male consort behavior is driven by female mate choice and receptive synchrony in Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana)

Global Ecology and Conservation
In group-living animals, males’ fighting abilities were usually mediated via dominance rank to sort males into a queue to access fertile females, especially in non-human primates. However, the correlation between male reproductive success and consortship,

Characteristics of cross transmission of gut fungal pathogens between wintering Hooded Cranes and sympatric Domestic Geese

Avian Research, 2023
Migratory birds travel long distance and link various pathogens. Due to habitat degradation, wintering waterfowls forage together with poultry, increasing the risk of pathogen transmission between hosts.
