Article Synopsis
- Vervets, or African green monkeys, are increasingly used in biomedical research, but there’s limited guidance on successfully pairing them in housing situations.
- Data was collected from four groups across different research institutions, revealing high success rates of 96-100% for pair-housing females and males in certain cohorts, while lower rates in smaller imported male groups indicated the need for tailored approaches.
- Compatibility predictors such as cohort, age, and weight difference were significant for males, but not females, suggesting that typical introduction methods used for macaques may not be ideal for vervets.
