  2. GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ST. KITTS-ORIGIN VERVET MONKEY (CHLOROCEBUS AETHIOPS SSP.) AS A MODEL OF POLYGENIC OBESITY

    Gray, StantonWake Forest University2009

    … to further characterize the St. Kitts-origin vervet monkey as a nonhuman primate (NHP) of polygenic obesity, the human ortholog vervet TNF gene and flanking regions were sequenced and genotyped from 265 monkeys in a closed, pedigreed colony. This revealed a total of 11 single nucleotide …

  4. DYSREGULATION OF AMP-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE SIGNALING IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

    Wang, XinWake Forest University2018

    … this study, I found AMPKα2 was dysregulated in a vervet monkey model of Alzheimer’s disease, which exhibited AD-like pathologies, biochemical alterations and behaviors. Proteomic studies in this model showed that many of dysregulated proteins were metabolism-related and could be associated with …

    Thatcher, HLiverpool John Moores University2019

    … behavioural ecology of the adaptive, generalist vervet monkey (Chlorocebus pygerythrus). We use an integrative approach to assess the behavioural ecology of urban vervet monkeys under quantified anthropogenic pressures, assessing both positive (human-food) and negative (human-aggression) …

    Healy, AoifeOxford Brookes University2017

    … for proactive conservation of common species. Vervets are ecologically flexible, widespread, relatively abundant monkeys with few major threats. Data were obtained through systematic literature reviews (habitat use, crop-raiding), analysis of CITES trade records (international trade, trophy …

  8. A comparison of the subspecific divergence of two sympatric African monkeys, Papio hamadryas & Chlorocebus aethiops: morphology, environment, diet & phylogeny

    Dunn, JasonHull York Medical School, the University of Hull and the University of York2011

    The baboon and vervet monkey exhibit numerous similarities in geographic range, ecology and social structure, and both exhibit extensive subspecific variation corresponding to geotypic forms. This thesis compares these two subspecific radiations, using skull morphology to characterise the two taxa, …
