A natural disaster exacerbates and redistributes disease risk across free-ranging macaques by altering social structure

A. Motes-Rodrigo, G. F. Albery, J. Negron-Del Valle, D. Philips, Cayo Biobank Research Unit, M. Platt, L. J. Brent, C. Testard

This study shows that a hurricane increased pathogen transmission in macaques by altering social structure, doubling infection rates and reducing status-based risk differences.

Cost and benefits of being social: examining the influence of sociality on faecal parasites in free-ranging rhesus macaques

M. A. Pavez Fox, C. M. Escabi-Ruiz, J. D. A. Hart, J. E. Negron-Del Valle, D. Phillips, M. J. Montague, M. Platt, A. Ruiz-Lambides, M. I. Martinez, Cayo Biobank Research Unit, J. P. Higham, N. Snyder-Mackler, L. J. N. Brent

This study examines how social relationships affect parasitic infection risk in rhesus macaques, finding that affiliative partners reduce protozoa infection risk, while social status does not.

A generalizable epigenetic clock captures aging in two nonhuman primates.

E. A. Goldman, M. M. Watowich, K. L. Chiou, A. Mercer, S. N. Sams, J. E. Horvath, J. Anderson, Cayo Biobank Research Unit, J. Tung, J. P. Higham, L. J. Brent, M. I. Martinez, M. J. Montague, M. L. Platt, K. N. Sterner, N. Snyder-Mackler

This paper develops an epigenetic clock for rhesus macaques using DNA methylation data, achieving high accuracy in predicting age across different populations and species.

Ageing in a collective: The impact of ageing individuals on social network structure

E. R. Siracusa, A. S. Pereira, J. Bohr Brask, J. E. Negron-Del Valle, D. Phillips, Cayo Biobank Research Unit, M. L. Platt, J. P. Higham, N. Snyder-Mackler, L. J. N. Brent

This study examines how ageing affects social network structure in rhesus macaques using empirical data and an agent-based model, finding age-related changes in indirect connectivity but no overall network structure age distribution relationship.

Age, sex, and social environmental effects on immune cell composition in a free-ranging non-human primate.

M. R. S. Rosado, N. Marzan-Rivera, M. M. Watowich, A. D. Negron-Del Valle, P. Pantoja, M. A. Pavez-Fox, E. R. Siracusa, J. E. Negron-Del Valle, D. Phillips, A. Ruiz-Lambides, Cayo Biobank Research Unit, M. I. Martinez, M. J. Montague, M. L. Platt, J. P. Higham, , N. Snyder-Mackler

This study examines how age, sex, and social status affect immune cell composition in rhesus macaques, revealing age-related immunosenescence and sex-dependent effects of social adversity.
