TL;DR: The results of a comparative immunological study of the evolution of primate albumins and transferrins with special reference to the systematics of the New World monkeys are reported, finding that the clade Primates must now include Tupaia and Cynocephalus (the “flying lemur”), as well as Tarsius, Anthropoidea, Lemuriformes, and Lorisiformes.

TL;DR: In this article, the arterial lipid, calcium, and collagen concentrations were determined for squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus), African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), stump-tailed macaques (Macaca arctoides ), and woolly monkeys ( Lagothrix lagothricha) fed four types of diets with and without cholesterol for 42 months.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured peripheral serum cortisol levels in 5 intact pregnant rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and 3 hypophysectomized-fetectomized monkeys, leaving the placentas in situ and viable.

TL;DR: The rhesus monkey is a generalized primate widely distributed and abundant in Asia and has long been used for laboratory studies as discussed by the authors, where a prime population has been maintained since the 1930s on Cayo Santiago, an island offshore of Puerto Rico.
Abstract: The rhesus monkey is a generalized primate widely distributed and abundant in Asia. For these reasons, it has long been used for laboratory studies. More recently, the free-ranging behavior and population dynamics of the rhesus monkey has also been examined both in India and the United States, where a prime population has been maintained since the 1930s on Cayo Santiago, an island offshore of Puerto Rico. These studies have afforded a detailed description of the social behavior of this species.

TL;DR: F fossil ceboid evidence indicates that the ceboids evolved from a North American primate of omomyid-like form, and it appears that evolutionary events leading to extant Ceboidea occurred within the South American continent.

TL;DR: The red colobus group is thought to be the most influential in the interspecific interaction of the five species of primates in the Kibale Forest in western Uganda.
Abstract: An ecological survey on the influence of interspecific interaction of the primates upon the distribution of their group ranges was carried out in 100 ha of the isolated forest northern outskirts of Kibale Forest in western Uganda, Africa. The study period of 105 days was from the 12th of November, 1970 to the 24th of February, 1971, including a preliminary survey of about two months. The subjects of this study are five species of primates, i.e., black and white colobus (Colobus polykomos), red colobus (Colobus badius), red tailed monkey (Cercopithecus ascanius), blue monkey (Cercopithecus mitis), and vervet monkey (Cercopithecus aethiops), which inhabited the study area. The red colobus group is thought to be the most influential of the five in the interspecific interaction.
