将单独圈养的恒河猴（Macaca mulatta）引入同性配对被广泛认为可以改善福利。实验室猕猴的人口是异质性的各种因素，并有很少的文献可直接评估的影响，这些因素对住房的好处。受试者为杜兰国家灵长类动物研究中心和耶基斯国家灵长类动物研究中心的46只成年雌性和18只成年雄性恒河猴。行为数据共计859小时和血清皮质醇水平来自312个血清样本进行了分析的主要影响的住房条件，比较单一的住房对住房。此外，进行了一系列的分析，以测试住房条件和7个独立变量之间的相互作用：性别，年龄，以前的持续时间的单一住房，存在或不存在的自我伤害行为的历史，和优势排名，在配对设置的从属关系和激动的水平。在收集4-8小时的基线数据和三个血清皮质醇样本后，将成对的个体相互介绍，并重复数据收集，不早于介绍后4周。在成对的住房中，女性和男性受试者的异常行为都有所减少（女性：减少54%; P = 0.001;男性：减少18%; P = 0.0007）和焦虑相关行为（女性：减少35%; P = 0.0001;男性：减少41%; P = 0.0001），以及运动增加（女性：增加41%; P = 0.0001;男性：增加76%：P = 0.002）。在成对的住房，没有显着的性别差异的社会行为。描述性地，配对的女性花了12%的样本从事亲和行为和0.5%从事竞争行为（反转换arcsin平方根平均值）。雄性的相应值为12%和0.3%。本研究中检测的任何自变量均未检测到相互作用效应。皮质醇值随性别而异，但在饲养条件之间没有差异;当统计模型中包含上述任何变量时，未检测到差异。研究结果支持圈养灵长类动物福利研究的普遍共识，即社会住房是促进实验室灵长类动物心理健康的行为指标的有效手段。这些结果具有相当大的实际意义，包括驳斥关于男性不适合作为社会化候选人的普遍看法的信息，
Introducing singly housed rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) into isosexual pairs is widely considered to improve welfare. The population of laboratory rhesus macaques is heterogeneous on a variety of factors and there is little literature available to directly evaluate the influence of many of these factors on the benefits of pair housing. Subjects were 46 adult female and 18 adult male rhesus macaques housed at the Tulane National Primate Research Center and the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. Behavioral data totalling 859 h and serum cortisol levels derived from 312 serum samples were analyzed for main effects of housing condition, comparing single housing to pair housing. In addition, a series of analyses were performed to test for interactions between housing condition and seven independent variables: sex, age, prior duration of single housing, presence or absence of a history of self-injurious behavior, and dominance rank, levels of affiliation and agonism in the paired setting. After the collection of 4–8 h of baseline data and three serum cortisol samples, pairs of individuals were introduced to one another and data collection was repeated, no earlier than 4 weeks after introduction. In pair housing both female and male subjects showed decrease in abnormal behavior (females: 54% reduction; P = 0.001; males: 18% reduction; P = 0.0007) and anxiety-related behavior (females: 35% reduction; P = 0.0001; males: 41% reduction; P = 0.0001), and increases in locomotion (females: 41% increase; P = 0.0001; males: 76% increase: P = 0.002). In pair housing, there were no significant sex differences in social behavior. Descriptively, paired females spent 12% of samples engaged in affiliative behavior and 0.5% engaged in agonistic behavior (back-transformed arcsin square root means). The corresponding values for males were 12% and 0.3%. No interaction effects were detected with any of the independent variables tested in this study. Cortisol values varied with sex but did not differ between housing conditions; no differences were detected when any of the above variables were included in the statistical model. Results support the general consensus among those studying the welfare of captive primates that social housing is a potent means for promoting behavioral indicators of the psychological well-being of laboratory primates. These results are of considerable practical significance and include information that refutes common perceptions about the unsuitability of males as socialization candidates, perceived negative
