Prenatal androgenization and dominance rank in female rhesus macaques: evidence from digit ratios (2D:4D) -- 7. Ontogeny of Anatomical Mechanical Advantage of the biceps brachii Muscle in Macaques -- 8.  Dental maturity and the ontogeny of sex-based differences in the dentofacial complex of rhesus macaques from Cayo Santiago -- 9. Female age of  first reproduction at Cayo Santiago: Heritability and shared Environments -- 10.    Costs of Reproduction among Rhesus Macaque Females on Cayo Santiago -- Variation over Time in Grooming Kin Bias among Cayo Santiago Rhesus Macaques Supports Time Constraints -- 12. Behavior and Social Dynamics of Rhesus Macaques on Cayo Santiago -- 13.   Natural History of the Self.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: The introduction of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) to Cayo Santiago, Puerto Rico in 1938, and the subsequent development of the Caribbean Primate Research Center (CPRC) for behavioral and biomedical research, has generated an unparalleled resource for physical anthropology and other fields in the social, biological, and medical sciences. Bones, Genetics, and Behavior of Rhesus Macaques: Macaca Mulatta of Cayo  Santiago and  Beyond  highlights recent and ongoing research in physical anthropology, and reveals the numerous research opportunities that still exist at this unusual rhesus facility.
