Population and Behavior Surveys of Long-Tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis) in the Old Town, Lopburi Province

Reproductive Seasonality of Myanmar Long-tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis aurea)

– The Myanmar long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis aurea) are distributed to coastal regions in Myanmar, ranging from 10 ̊ to 21 ̊N. Reproductive pattern was studied on a troop of long-tailed macaque inhabiting the steep limestone-rock Bayin Nyi Naung Mountain (16 ̊ 58.2' N), in Southern part of Myanmar, where the climate is seasonal. Bayin Nyi Naung Mountain troop shows the reproductive seas...

Genetic diversity and population structure of long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) populations in Peninsular Malaysia.

BACKGROUND The genetic diversity and structure of long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in Peninsular Malaysia, a widely used non-human primate species in biomedical research, have not been thoroughly characterized. METHODS Thirteen sites of wild populations of long-tailed macaques representing six states were sampled and analyzed with 18 STR markers. RESULTS The Sunggala and Penang Is...

Population Recovery of Nicobar Long-Tailed Macaque Macaca fascicularis umbrosus following a Tsunami in the Nicobar Islands, India

Natural disasters pose a threat to isolated populations of species with restricted distributions, especially those inhabiting islands. The Nicobar long tailed macaque.Macaca fascicularis umbrosus, is one such species found in the three southernmost islands (viz. Great Nicobar, Little Nicobar and Katchal) of the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, India. These islands were hit by a massive tsunami ...

Acute Pancreatic Necrosis in a Diabetic Long-Tailed Macaque (Macaca fascicularis)

Effects of MDMA Injections on the Behavior of Socially-Housed Long-Tailed Macaques (Macaca fascicularis)

3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methyl amphetamine (MDMA) is one of the few known molecules to increase human and rodent prosocial behaviors. However, this effect has never been assessed on the social behavior of non-human primates. In our study, we subcutaneously injected three different doses of MDMA (1.0, 1.5 or 2.0mg/kg) to a group of three, socially housed, young male long-tailed macaques. More than ...
