Barbary macaque and exclusion of monkeys from water sources are major causes of cedar bark stripping behaviour in Barbary macaques. Density of macaques, however, is less correlated with the behaviour than the other causes considered. The Barbary macaque was named by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, along with numerous other species named in that same year. The scientific name is "Macaca sylvanus". Phylogenetic and molecular analysis with other primates has been done. Studies concerning interspecific DNA variation within the genus "Macaca" show that the Barbary macaque is most related to the Asian macaques. Scientists have also studied the Y-chromosome; however, this has proven
Animal psychopathology support that SA may increase sensory input in poor environments. Captive macaques do not socialize the way wild macaques do which may affect SA. When allowed to socialize by putting another macaque in the cage or not putting them in a cage, SA levels in macaques decrease. Results indicate that SA is a form of redirected social aggression. SA is related to frustration and social status, especially in macaques that have an intermediate dominance rank. http://www.care2.com/causes/can-dogs-lead-us-to-a-cure-for-obsessive-compulsive-disorder.html Animal psychopathology Animal psychopathology is the study of mental or behavioral disorders in animals.
