New management strategies for detecting social instabilities and promoting social cohesion are neededto reduce aggression-based morbidity and mortality among captive groups of rhesus macaques. This st
We develop a three-step computing approach to explore a hierarchical ranking network for a society of captive rhesus macaques. The computed network is sufficiently informative to address the question:
In the wild, male rhesus macaques disperse at sexual maturity. In captivity, however, males cannotdisperse from their natal groups. Thus, the presence of natal males in captive rhesus social groups is
The persistence of biological systems requires evolved mechanisms which promote stability. Cohesive primate social groups are one example of stable biological systems, which persist in spite of regula
Rhesus macaques, like many other primates, live in stable, multi-male multi-female groups in which adult females typically outnumber adult males. The number of males in multimale]multi-female groups i
The objective of this study was to improve human-animal management relationships by testing the effects of positive reinforcement training (PRT) on reducing human-directed aggression in rhesus monkeys
目的：观察人工饲养条件下实验恒河猴肝脏病理改变，探讨实验猴肝脏疾病分布规律和病理改变特点，丰富实验猴自发病变基本研究资料。方法：对1998～2008年云南地区饲养的自然死亡的155只恒河猴(年龄2～20岁)的肝脏进行病理检查，按年龄分为幼年组、成年组、老年组，并对观察结果进行统计学分析。结果：155例恒河猴中88例检出肝脏病变，有肝细胞变性、肝细胞坏死、炎细胞浸润、吞噬细胞增生、肝淤血、纤维组织增
目的：为探明恒河猴颊囊鳞状细胞癌的病理变化。方法：对一例恒河猴颊囊发生的病灶进行了病理学观察。结果：通过对该猴颊囊组织病灶临床症状表现、肉眼剖检观察及光学显微镜观察到组织病理形态变化，确诊为鳞状细胞癌。结论：该病猴颊囊组织病灶具有典型鳞状细胞癌的特征，可为非人灵长类动物疾病提供一定的病理诊断依据。
对野生树鼩的繁殖性能及仔树鼩的哺育方法进行初步研究,探索出一套繁殖方法,其特色在于新生树鼩完全由母树鼩主动自然哺育,这与以往文献报道——使用人工喂养方法大不相同,在2009年,顺利繁育成活200余只F1代仔树鼩；2010年,成功离乳354只F1代仔树鼩。除大部分树嗣供应科学研究后,目前已建立野外树鼩繁殖群150对,F1代繁殖群40对,为今后相关科研工作的开展奠定了基础。
目的：设计开发三种实用功能的实验树鼩饲育笼具。方法：根据树鼩的生物学特性并参考有关实验动物笼器具标准进行设计。结果：该三种笼舍完全能适用于野生树鼩适应性驯养，普通环境条件下人工饲养繁殖及实验用树鼩使用，独立换气树嗣专用。结论：该三种笼具操作和使用方便，具有一定的应用和推广前景。
