Résumé
The impact of anthropogenic pressures upon primates is increasingly prevalent, and yet the phenotypic aspects of these impacts remain understudied. Captive environments can pose unique pressures based on factors like physical activity levels and caloric availability; thus, maturation patterns should vary under differing captive conditions. Here, we evaluate the development and growth of two Macaca mulatta populations (N = 510) with known chronological ages between 9 months and 16 years, under different levels of captive management, to assess the impact of varying anthropogenic environments on primates. To track growth, we scored 13 epiphyseal fusion locales across long bones in a skeletal sample of lab-reared M. mulatta (n = 111), including the right tibia, femur, humerus, ulna, and radius. We employed a three-tier scoring system, consisting of "0" (unfused to diaphysis), "1" (fusing), and "2" (fused). To record body size, we collected five linear measures of these long bones, from the proximal and distal ends, and total lengths. Means and standard deviations were generated to compare samples; t-tests were used to determine significant differences between means. These values were compared to available data on the free-ranging, provisioned M. mulatta population of Cayo Santiago. The free-ranging monkeys (n = 274) were found to exhibit larger linear skeletal lengths (p < 0.05) than lab-reared specimens. Generally, the free-ranging macaques reached fusion at earlier chronological ages and exhibited an extended duration of the fusing growth stage. These observations may reflect the protein-rich diet provided to free-ranging monkeys and conversely, restricted movement and relaxed natural selection experienced by lab-reared monkeys.
