  • Climate induced stress and mortality in vervet monkeys 
    Young, Christopher; Bonnell, Tyler R.; Brown, Leslie R.; Dostie, Marcus J.; Ganswindt, Andre; Kienzle, Stefan; McFarland, Richard; Henzi, S. Peter; Barrett, Louise (Royal Society Publishing, 2019-11)
    As the effects of global climate change become more apparent, animal species will become increasingly affected by extreme climate and its effect on the environment. There is a pressing need to understand animal physiological ...
  • Infrared thermography cannot be used to approximate core body temperature in wild primates 
    McFarland, Richard; Barrett, Louise; Fuller, Andrea; Hetem, Robyn S.; Porter, Warren P.; Young, Christopher; Henzi, S. Peter (Wiley, 2020-12)
    Understanding the physiological processes that underpin primate performance is key if we are to assess how a primate might respond when navigating new and changing environments. Given the connection between a mammal's ...
  • Male characteristics as predictors of genital color and display variation in vervet monkeys 
    Young, Mirjam M.I.; Winters, Sandra; Young, Christopher; Weiß, Brigitte M.; Troscianko, Jolyon; Ganswindt, Andre; Barrett, Louise; Henzi, S. Peter; Higham, James P.; Widdig, Anja (Springer, 2020-01)
    In the animal kingdom, conspicuous colors are often used for inter- and intra-sexual communication. Even though primates are the most colorful mammalian taxon, many questions, including what potential information color ...
  • Male residency and dispersal triggers in a seasonal breeder with influential females 
    Young, Christopher; McFarland, Richard; Ganswindt, Andre; Young, Mirjam M.I.; Barrett, Louise; Henzi, S. Peter (Elsevier, 2019-08)
    Males in female-philopatric social groupings leave their natal groups to pursue successive reproductive opportunities in one or more other groups. In vervet monkeys, Chlorocebus pygerythrus, adult males coexist and physical ...
  • Modeling variation in the growth of wild and captive juvenile vervet monkeys in relation to diet and resource availability 
    Jarrett, Jonathan D.; Bonnell, Tyler; Jorgensen, Matthew J.; Schmitt, Christopher A.; Young, Christopher; Dostie, Marcus; Barrett, Louise; Henzi, Stephanus Peter (Wiley, 2020-01)
    OBJECTIVES : To compare longitudinal weight gain in captive and wild juvenile vervet monkeys and conduct an empirical assessment of different mechanistic growth models. METHODS : Weights were collected from two groups of ...
  • A report on the housing vervet monkeys adjacent to domestic cats as a means of environmental enrichment 
    Chipangura, John Kudakwashe; Ganswindt, Andre; Naidoo, Vinny (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2020-11-26)
    In current research guidelines, much focus is placed on ethical management of animals and the application of principles of reduction, refinement and replacement. Of these refinements through environmental enrichment is ...
  • Urbanisation as an important driver of nocturnal primate sociality 
    Scheun, Juan; Greeff, D.; Nowack, J. (Springer, 2019-07)
    Urbanisation is an important factor driving species and biodiversity decline. Although habitat alterations can be detrimental for species, studies have shown that many diurnal primates are able to adapt to novel environments. ...
