Mating patterns, societies and the ecogeography of macaques
A 29-month field study of the pig-tailed macaque (Macaca nemestrina), and a review of the literature on its genus, suggests that, in this cercopithecine group, resource distribution may influence male grouping tendency not by way of female distribution, but rather indirectly through female sexual behaviour. This variation on a usual mammalian theme is achieved by […]
Assessment of oocytes retrieved from stimulated and unstimulated ovaries of pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) as a model to enhance the genetic diversity of captive lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus)
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430080506.abs Steroid hormone levels were measured during unstimulated menstrual cycles of pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina) and lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus). The values were similar, suggesting that the pig-tailed macaque may be an appropriate model for in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer in the lion-tailed macaque. Two follicular stimulation protocols were compared to evaluate the […]
