DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9338
Abstract: Abstract Nutrient composition and food availability determine food choices and foraging strategies of animals, while altitude and geographical location affect species distribution and food availability. Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) have sophisticated foraging strategies as the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-34406-7
Abstract: Attraction to infants is a common feature of non-human primates. Frequent affiliative male-infant interactions have been observed in many multimale, multifemale groups of macaques, including a behaviour termed ‘bridging’ in which two male macaques simultaneously… read more here.

DOI: 10.24272/j.issn.2095-8137.2018.049
Abstract: In some non-human primates, infants function as a social tool that can bridge relationships among group members. Infants are a desired commodity for group members, and mothers control access to them. The biological market theory… read more here.

Effects of captive and primate-focused tourism on the gut microbiome of Tibetan macaques
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1023898
Abstract: Documenting the effects of anthropogenic activities on the gut microbiome of wild animals is important to their conservation practices. Captivity and ecotourism are generally considered two common anthropogenic disturbances on the health of nonhuman primates.… read more here.
