Influence of regional crossbreeding between rhesus macaques on the rate of weight gain of their offspring

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430130309.abs To evaluate potential heterosis resulting from breeding between rhesus macaques of Chinese and Indian origin in a captive social group, the rates of weight gain of Indian (nonhybrid) rhesus monkeys were compared with those of their hybrid (half Chinese/half Indian) peers. The coefficients for the linear regression of age on weight were estimated […]
