Dr. Erin Siracusa at #ASP2024 on her postdoc research exploring the drivers of social aging in rhesus macaques! 🐒 Her work dives into how social selectivity changes with age and its impact on disease outcomes. AmSoc Primatologists

Special thanks to the organizers of AmSoc Primatologists #ASP2024

Cayo Santiago's Colony Manager participated in BugFest at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, sharing insights about rhesus macaques and the #MonkeyHealthExplorer program. It was a great opportunity for community outreach, engaging both kids and adults! 🐒🌿

New research from Cayo Santiago challenges reproductive skew models. Skew ⬆️ with group size in male-biased groups but ⬇️ in female-biased groups. No effect of female cycle synchrony was found. Males of high-ranking mothers were more likely to be top sires onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…

En la 1era Noche de Ciencia Boricua junto a Ciencia Puerto Rico, celebramos la pasión de un grupo de Boricuas comprometidos con empoderar a nuestra juventud en STEAM. ¡Gracias a todxs por su energía y entusiasmo!

Caribbean Primate Research Center Sam Patterson Erin Siracusa Read a nice summary of Erin Siracusa's paper, which was done in collaboration with Melissa Pavez Fox Noah Snyder-Mackler Michael Platt NYU Primatology Josue Negron, Daniel Phillips, and @mattjsilkhere: news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-hea…

The hits just keep on coming! Great work @MarinaWatowich Noah Snyder-Mackler @AmandaLea14 Cayo Biobank & the team. Surviving a hurricane triggers molecular immune dysregulation similar to but distinct from primary aging. Yikes! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Estudiantes de escuela elemental aprendieron sobre el comportamiento de los monos, cómo nos ayudan a investigar condiciones que afectan a los humanos y cómo el CPRC es un referente mundial en la investigación científica. ¡Inspirar nuevas generaciones es parte de nuestra misión!

"Estimating realized relatedness in free-ranging macaques using identity-by-descent (IBD) segments." 🐒 Our findings refine how we measure genetic relationships in wild populations, enhancing research on genetics, behavior, and evolution. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… | PNAS

Using 10 years of data from the Cayo Santiago macaques, Melissa Pavez Fox et al. show that group size and sex ratio shape patterns of aggression and injury🐒rdcu.be/efPj2

CPRC Summer 2024 interns are receiving their acceptance letters! Congratulations to Emmanuel Echevarria, an outstanding student & graduate of UPR Aguadilla, who was just accepted into Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine. So well deserved!

With deep sadness we announce the passing of Dr. Edmundo Kraiselburd, a visionary leader and former director of the Caribbean Primate Research Center & the Unit of Comparative Medicine. Our heartfelt condolences to his family.

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at the Caribbean Primate Research Center! Today we honor the selflessness of mothers, like this rhesus macaque caring for her twins, whose tireless investment shapes the future.

Our science outreach event brought together 146 people of all ages, including families, college students and homeschoolers. It was a morning full of learning, curiosity and connection with the science that takes place in Cayo Santiago. Thanks #UBC #UniExeter #UPRRCM #Humacao

Disasters don’t just cause deaths right away; they often have long tails of destruction due to all the stress they cause and services they disrupt. David was confronted with the aftermath of a massive storm when he revisited Monkey Island: youtu.be/2u6IiM5ZT20?si…

CPRC proudly joined the College and Career Lab to inspire middle school students in NYC! Students explored science careers with mentors from NYU, CPRC UPR-MSC, and other research institutions. Special thanks to Dr. Antón from NYU for inviting us to such a meaningful event.
