项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the NIH/NCRR sponsored breeding programs of the National Primate Research Centers, rhesus macaques are housed in multimale-multifemale social groups in large outdoor corrals which simulates the natural social and environmental features characteristic of the species, enhancing their reproductive performance as well as their psychological well-being. Despite the importance of this naturalistic social housing, one of the most difficult problems in socially-housed macaques is their propensity for spontaneous bouts of deleterious aggression. The long-term goal of this project is to reduce the rates of deleterious aggression in captive breeding colonies of rhesus macaques. The objective of this particular application is to enhance current behavioral management techniques by developing a set of predictive models of the within group social and group-level management factors that lead to deleterious aggression and aggression-based morbidity and mortality in group-housed rhesus macaques. Multivariate statistical models using logistic normal regression and social network analysis will be developed on the longitudinal (temporal) relationship among group management factors such as age/sex composition and matriline configuration, within-group social factors such as affiliative and dominance activity patterns and levels of aggression and subsequent wounding within rhesus social groups. Our rationale is that if we gain greater insight into these social and group management factors, we will be able to identify key network measures that will allow us to prevent severe aggression events and outbreaks in the short-term and beneficial management practices that will reduce aggression-based morbidity and mortality in the long-term in rhesus macaque breeding colonies. Development of beneficial management practices that reduce aggression-based morbidity and mortality in rhesus breeding groups will contribute to public health by enhancing the health and welfare of rhesus macaques in breeding colonies that provide the animal resources critical for conducting biomedical research on nonhuman primates.

描述（由申请人提供）：在国家灵长类动物研究中心的NIH/NCRR赞助的育种计划中，恒河猕猴位于大型户外畜栏中的多层式社会群体中，模拟了该物种的自然社会和环境特征，从而增强了其生殖表现，并增强了其心理良好的氛围。尽管这种自然主义的社会住房很重要，但社会上的猕猴中最困难的问题之一是它们对自发的有害侵略的倾向。该项目的长期目标是降低恒河猕猴的圈养繁殖菌落中有害侵略的速度。该特定应用的目的是通过开发一组群体内部社会和群体级管理因素来增强当前的行为管理技术，从而导致群体恒河猕猴中的基于侵略性和基于侵略性的发病率和死亡率有害。使用逻辑正常回归和社交网络分析的多变量统计模型将基于群体管理因素之间的纵向（时间）关系，例如年龄/性别组成和基质元素构型，组内社会因素，诸如从属关系和优势活动活动模式以及侵略性的侵略水平以及随后的仇恨社会群体的伤害。我们的理由是，如果我们对这些社会和群体管理因素有了更深入的了解，我们将能够确定关键的网络措施，从而使我们能够防止在短期和有益的管理实践中进行严重的侵略事件和爆发，从而降低恒河猴猕猴繁殖殖民地长期基于侵略性的发病率和死亡率。开发恒河猴育种群体中基于侵略性的发病率和死亡率的有益管理实践的发展，将通过增强恒河猕猴的健康和福利来促进公共卫生，这些殖民地菌落中的动物资源为对非人类灵长类动物进行生物医学研究至关重要。
