  1. L’université de l’ #Oregon va transformer son centre de recherche en sanctuaire, mettant fin à l’expérimentation sur les primates. Le site abrite près de 5 000 primates. Soit, plus de 5 % des singes utilisés dans la recherche biomédicale du pays. Parmi eux des #macaques rhésus, des #babouins et des #saïmiris. Son budget annuel avoisine les 60 millions de dollars, financés à 84 % par l’État fédéral. lareleveetlapeste.fr/luniversi

  3. 🐒🎮 A #study involving rhesus #macaques shows that the #animals will engage with touch screen #puzzles even when no food rewards are provided.

    Scientists at the University of #Tokyo observed the #primates solving challenges for long periods, suggesting that curiosity and intrinsic motivation are powerful drivers for their behavior. The #research challenges the idea that animal #learning is only motivated by external physical gains.

  8. Macaques in Gibraltar have started eating soil—linked to tourist junk food—to soothe digestive upset and may reflect a cultural adaptation to human landscapes. Study: eurekalert.org/news-releases/1 🐒🍦🌱🔬 #Gibraltar #macaques #Science

  9. Hot spring bathing behaviors in Japanese #macaques actively reshape the host "holobiont," specifically modifying lice distribution and gut #microbiota composition beyond simple thermoregulation or stress relief.

  10. No food after midnight, no water, and stay away from bright light?

    These banana-crazed pig-tailed macaques in the Phnom Srei and Bros twin pagoda are quite the personalities, for good and bad. Keeping a distance, especially to their children, is highly recommended.

    Unless you want trouble comparable to a mass attack of gremlins.

    But sometimes they peaceful and charming simply strike a pose. Like Stripey here.

  11. #Chimps, #Humans and #Macaques All Love a Little Drama
    “These findings demonstrate that #social information is important, rewarding and valuable for humans and other #primate #species,” Lewis says. “It suggests that social information was also important for our shared primate ancestors who lived around 25 million years ago and that for millions of years it has been adaptive for primates to gain social information about those around them.”

  12. Cortical development in #primates follows a hierarchical gradient, but how does this vary between species? This study shows that #humans & #macaques share conserved maturation patterns, with humans exhibiting prolonged #cortical development @PLOSBiology plos.io/4prEO65

  16. Macaques huddle together for warmth at a hot spring in Nagano, Japan. Known as snow monkeys, the animals soak in the 40C water every day during cold weather, spending their bathtime grooming, snoozing and playing on visitors’ camera tripods.
