Erwin and Deni (1979) have described in great detail the abnormal behaviors frequently seen in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) maintained in laboratories (see Appendix 1). (wustl.edu)
Males4
Here we aimed to determine if Japanese macaque males use changes in female sexual signals (behavioral, visual and auditory) to discriminate pregnancy and adjust their socio-sexual behaviors. (plos.org)
Based on our focal observations, we found that males did not copulate during the pregnancy period, and that female socio-sexual behaviors generally decreased from the pre-conceptive to post-conceptive periods. (plos.org)
Our results suggest that Japanese macaque females display sexual cues of pregnancy that males might use to reduce energy wasted on non-reproductive copulations with pregnant females. (plos.org)
We hypothesize that females advertize their pregnancy through changes in behavioral, visual and potential auditory signals that males can use to adjust their mating behaviors. (plos.org)

These behavior disorders often accompany the tics and may dominate the clinical picture in some patients. (medscape.com)
Aggression2
Avp signaling through the Avpr1b can affect numerous behaviors, including social memory and aggression. (frontiersin.org)
Given the complexity of the central Avp system, as well as the many behaviors Avp is known to affect, this review will focus on the role of Avp signaling via the Avpr1b in the modulation of behaviors such as social memory and aggression as well as the importance of this system to the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

its importance to the neural regulation of social behavior and the modulation of the hormonal stress response has come to light. (frontiersin.org)
Assessment1
The energetic war of attrition model assumes that contestants engage in a matched and costly chasing or grappling contest, A contestant's decision about whether to continue or quit an extended agonistic interaction is based on its assessment of its current ability to continue in this activity. (oup.com)
Signals3
Animals make use of prior information, cues, and signals to assess their likelihood of winning a fight against a particular opponent. (oup.com)
Fighting strategy models differ in their assumptions about the way contestants gather information during the interaction, which types of signals and tactics are used, and how they make the decision to end it. (oup.com)
Using techniques to visualise and block release of urine, we studied the role of urine signals during fighting and mating interactions of crayfish ( Pacifastacus leniusculus ). (biomedcentral.com)
Brain2
However, the nuances of how Avp modulates behavior within specific brain regions via its two centrally expressed receptors, the Avp 1a (Avpr1a) and the Avp 1b receptor (Avpr1b), continues to be a robust and exciting area of research. (frontiersin.org)
Finally, based on increasing associations between the microbiota, neurophysiology, and behavior, we consider whether investigating mechanisms underlying the microbiota-gut-brain axis could lead to novel approaches for treating particular neurological conditions. (deepdyve.com)
Action1
As a result, your structure-activity romantic relationship of the pterostilbene conjugates researched indicates that replacement of the free 4-OH moiety regarding pterostilbene using a nonmethyl party can easily improve PPAR alpha agonistic action. (sykpathway.com)
Role2
While the Avpr1a has been heavily studied for several decades, the Avpr1b, which was discovered later, appears to be much more discretely localized and has a wholly different role in the modulation of behavior than the Avpr1a. (frontiersin.org)
Several hypotheses have been suggested to explain the occurrence and the role of these copulatory behaviors during non-reproductive periods. (plos.org)

Environmental2
Diadromy is depicted as a conditional strategy, i.e., a threshold reaction norm responding to internal cues during migration and to environmental cues during foraging. (cnrs.fr)
During the migratory phase, internal cues for being a migrant vs. a settler are provided by individual energetic and ontogenetic status while, during foraging, environmental cues for dispersal are provided by agonistic interactions and resources availability. (cnrs.fr)
Results1
Dysfunction within these circuits results in an inability to suppress unwanted movements, behaviors, or impulses. (medscape.com)
