Anthropogenic influences on the behavioural ecology of urban vervet monkeys
… 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) …

Analysis of FY Promoter and Hepatocystis Load in South African Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus Aethiops)
… current study looks at the FY promoter region in vervet monkeys (<em>Chlorocebus aethiops</em>) to see if there are interactions between allelic variation of this gene and <em>Hepatocystis </em>infection. <em>Hepatocystis </em>infection was detected in South African vervet monkeys for the first …

Socioecology of Adult Female Vervet Cercopithecus Aethiops and Patas Monkeys Erythrocebus Patas in Kenya: Food Availability, Feeding Competition, and Dominance Relationships
The dominance hierarchy of female vervet and patas monkeys was similar when both used an A. drepanolobium woodland habitat. Foods here were randomly and closely distributed in space and less abundant per feeding site compared to foods in the A. xanthophloea riverine habitat, a second habitat used …

Sexual Signaling in Male Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus Pygerythrus); Influences of Hormones, Behaviour, and Parasitism on Scrotal and Penile Skin Colouration
… The red penis and blue scrotum of male vervet monkeys make them a good species to examine variation in signal expression. We quantified colour in vervets at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda from standardized photos. We hypothesized that inter- and intra-individual variation in the expression of the …

Should I stay or should I go? Hormonal and demographic correlates of natal dispersal in a population of wild vervet monkeys
… Male dispersal is most common among Old World monkeys, but is poorly studied due to the difficulty of following dispersing individuals. Even fewer studies have attempted to explore the hormonal correlates of dispersal owing to the difficulties of obtaining sufficient faecal samples of the same …

Efficacy of an Electronic Scarecrow on 4 Mammalian Crop-Raiders in Limpopo Province, South Africa
… Chacma baboons (<em>Papio ursinus</em>) and vervet monkeys (<em>Chlorocebus pygerythrus</em>), and 2 nocturnal mammals, Cape porcupine (<em>Hystrix africaeaustralis</em>) and bushbuck (<em>Tragelaphus scriptus</em>), are among many species of crop raiders. Currently, cost-effective, …

Environmental Enrichment for Gummivorous Primates
… zoos report feeding gum to baboons (Papio spp.), vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops), or patas monkeys (Erythrocebus patas). Since environmental enrichment that stimulates naturalistic behavior promotes the psychological wellbeing of animals, gum feeding is likely to be important to the welfare …

Analysis of Oocyte Quality in the Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta)
… methods originally developed for rhesus and vervet monkeys will aid future investigation of the developmental capacity of IVM oocytes.

IMPLICATIONS OF AGING AND DEGENERATIVE ROTATOR CUFF TEARS FOR UPPER LIMB MUSCLE MORPHOLOGY, STRENGTH, AND FUNCTION
… analyses of middle aged and older adult vervet monkey upper limb muscles were performed to determine if the vervet could be used for future longitudinal studies of upper limb musculoskeletal aging and determine if upper limb muscle volume affected measures of function: walking speed, …
