Analysis of Oocyte Quality in the Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta)
… of primate IVM oocytes using the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) as a model. Research efforts included investigation of ovarian senescence, oocyte karyotype and spindle morphology, and establishment of an optimal sperm cryopreservation protocol for use in IVF. Histological examination of the …

FACTORS AFFECTING RATES OF SOCIAL BUFFERING IN JUVENILE RHESUS MACAQUES (Macaca mulatta)
The purpose of the current study was to investigate genetic and experiential contributions to social buffering between juvenile non human primates. A second aim was to investigate the role of behavioral displays during social buffering, in order to explain social buffering deficits in primates with …

Quantitative Genetics of Life History Microevolution in the Cayo Santiago Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)
This is a study of the evolutionary genetics of a large colony of free-ranging rhesus macaques on Cayo Santiago, a small island located just off the coast of Puerto Rico. It focuses on documenting genetic and environmental influences on life history variation in female primates. The results are …

Testing the emotional value of facial stimuli using attention bias in Rhesus Macaques, Macaca mulatta.
Approximately 2000 rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta, are used annually forbiomedical research in the UK, the psychological wellbeing and welfare of theseprimates is a primary concern. Attention bias is a measure of cognitive bias usedto assess whether an individual is stressed. Current methods using …

The effect of genotype on attention bias in rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta, as a welfare indicator.
Rhesus macaques, Macaca mulatta, are one of the most commonly used non-human primates in biomedical research in the UK. Their welfare is of great concern for both ethical and quality-of-science reasons. Attention bias (AB), a measure of cognitive bias, assesses whether an individual is stressed, …

The Impact of Altered Diet Presentation on Time Budget of Research Housed Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta)
Rhesus macaques in the wild are known to adapt to a changing environment spanning different types of geography in order to find and process a wide variety of dietary resources. Captive rhesus are not faced with the same challenges when it comes to accessing dietary resources to meet their daily …

Genetic and functional characterisation of killer cell immunoglobulin like receptors (KIR) of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
… KIR und MHC-Klasse-I Molekülen im Rhesusaffen (Macaca mulatta). In Menschen wurde gezeigt, dass KIR Haplotypen Auswirkungen auf die Resistenz gegen unterschiedliche Krankheiten haben. Der Rhesusaffe ist ein häufig verwendetes Tiermodel für verschiedene Krankheiten, wie z.B. AIDS. Die Diversität …

Mirror Neurons are Modulated by Reward Expectation and Grip Force in the Sensorimotor Cortices (S1, M1, PMd, PMv)
… two non-human primates (NHPs), one male Macaca Radiata (NHP S) and one female Macaca Mulatta (NHP P), that were trained to perform a cued reward level isometric grip force task, where the NHPs had to apply visually cued grip force to move and transport a virtual object. We found a …

I riarrangiamenti cromosomici nell'evoluzione del genoma dei Primati
… L analisi delle regioni pericentromeriche di Macaca mulatta ha messo in evidenza che le regioni cromosomiche capaci di formare neocentromeri con elevato successo evolutivo sono quelle in cui il nuovo centromero non comporta scompensi rilevanti nella funzionalità della regione cromosomica …

The Effects of Low Intensity Ambient Lighting on Refractive Development in Rhesus Monkeys (Macacca mulatta)
… cause myopias. METHODS: Infant rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were reared under reduced or “dim” ambient lighting (~50 lux) with either unrestricted vision or one of the monocular lens treatments that induces experimental anisometropias. The development of their refractive errors, corneal …

Change Detection Memory In Rhesus Monkeys and Humans
… animals, including the rhesus monkey (<em>Macaca mulatta</em>). Given that rhesus monkeys are the premier medical model for humans, it is important to understand their VSTM if they are to contribute to understanding human memory. The primary goals of this study were to train and test rhesus …

Life history, growth and dental development in young primates: a study using captive rhesus macaques
… in a colony of captive rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). Somatic growth and dental development in 32 infants born in 1987 and 1988 were regularly monitored between 1987 and 1990. Physical characteristics of the mothers of each infant and other adult females in the colony were also studied …

Play and development of social skills in infant rhesus macaques
… skilled behaviours in infant rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) in order to discover whether there was any relationship between them. Important factors of rhesus social organization: genetic relationship, dominance rank, and the long birth season, were investigated for their relationship to the …
