AALAS57th National Meeting Official Program, 148 (Abstract)"Our experience and data suggest that pair formation in juvenile and adult cynomolgus maleand female macaques has been successful and as allowed us to provide social housing in apharmaceutical environment."McMillan J, Maier A, Tully L, Coleman K 2003. The effects of temperament on pairing successin female rhesus macaques. American Journal of Primatology 60(Supplement), 95 (Abstract)“We assessed temperament in these monkeys, along with their two partners, by measuring theirreaction to novel objects (e.g., a brightly colored novel toy) presented to them in their homecages. Every monkey received a score from 0-6 based on her reaction to the novelty. ..Temperament scores were more similar between the focal monkeys and their successful partnerthan their unsuccessful partner. These results suggest that assessing temperament with a simpletesting paradigm may be useful in forming successful pairs.“Niemeyer C, Eaton, GG, Kelley ST1998. Practical aspects of the program to promotepsychological well-being in nonhuman primates at the Oregon RPRC. In Proceedings of theThird International Conference on Environmental Enrichment Hare VJ, Worley E (eds), 345-354. The Shape of Enrichment, San Diego, CA”New pairs are formed by moving both [pre-familiarized] individuals to a new location becausemonkeys housed in individual cages appear to become territorial about their cages.”Reaves ME, Cohen J 2005. Primate pairing under less than ideal circumstances. Tech Talk 10(5),1-2"Of the six male cynomolgus monkeys in our group, we were able to create three stable pairs.The animals share food, and although we have had some minor bumps and bruises, there havebeen no serious injuries. We later reproduced these results with our vervet colony and after thequarantine process with all new arrivals."Reinhardt V, Houser WD, Eisele S, Champoux M 1987. Social enrichment with infants of theenvironment for singly caged adult rhesus monkeys. Zoo Biology 6, 365-371http://www.awionline.org/Lab_animals/biblio/zb6-365.htm"Twenty-nine weaned rhesus monkey infants were removed from breeding troops to avoidovercrowding and were placed with unfamiliar singly caged adults... Pairs were compatible in90% of cases. Compatibility depended neither on the sex, age, and origin of the adult nor on thesex of the infant.”Reinhardt V 1989. Behavioral responses of unrelated adult male rhesus monkeys familiarizedand paired for the purpose of environmental enrichment. American Journal of Primatology 17,243-248"Potential companions were first given the opportunity to establish clear-cut rank relationshipsduring a 5-day period of noncontact familiarization. Only then were they paired in a differentdouble cage. Rank relationships were confirmed within the first 6 minutes after pairing withoutthe occurrence of any biting and fighting. It stands to reason that the risk of injury, intrinsicallyassociated with pairing, can be minimized if only those dyads are selected whose partners showunequivocal signs of an established rank relationship during a period of noncontactfamiliarization.”
