Abstract

The Cayo Santiago (CS) rhesus macaque colony has raised a total of over 11,000 animals in a free-ranging setting very close to the natural environment. The well-kept individual and family records, as well as social group management data, have been a valuable source for anthropological research. However, the various sources of data have been stored in separation, and there was no straightforward way for researchers to access them directly. Since 2019, an ongoing effort supported through an NSF collaborative grant has been collecting morphology and imagery data from the CS-derived skeleton collection. One specific aim is to build an integrative database to combine newly collected osteology data (bone measurement) and existing genealogy and demographic information. A second aim is to develop a software application (codenamed as CSViewer for Analysts) to provide user-friendly interfaces for the research community to access and analyze the data. In this paper, we present a set of results generated by using standard data science tools and techniques, which help construct a holistic view of the CS rhesus colony along multiple dimensions. The matrilineal family lineage and pedigree can be visualized using various tree forms, as well as patrilineal lineages traced back to the mid-1970s. Social group evolution charts are generated and add new features to the original records. Reproduction patterns are studied in the context of group interaction and animal transfer logs. Cross-referencing between genealogy and osteology data can also be accomplished. Most of these charts are supported in the CSViewer app with convenient tooltip features to show details as needed. Selection based on attributes like founder line, sex, and birth season can be applied to tailor charts to a research project so that researchers can zoom into a data set that can best support their analytics goals.

CSViewer for Analysts：圣地亚哥卡约恒河猴群体始祖谱系、社会群体和繁殖动态的分析工具和可视化

圣地亚哥岛（CS）恒河猴殖民地在一个非常接近自然环境的自由放养环境中总共饲养了11,000多只动物。保存完好的个人和家庭记录，以及社会群体管理数据，一直是人类学研究的宝贵资源。然而，各种数据来源都是分开存储的，研究人员没有直接访问它们的直接方法。自2019年以来，一项由美国国家科学基金会合作资助的持续努力一直在从cs衍生的骨骼收集中收集形态学和图像数据。一个具体的目标是建立一个综合数据库，将新收集的骨学数据（骨测量）和现有的家谱和人口统计信息结合起来。第二个目标是开发一个软件应用程序（代号为CSViewer for Analysts），为研究社区访问和分析数据提供用户友好的界面。在本文中，我们提出了一组使用标准数据科学工具和技术生成的结果，这些结果有助于沿着多个维度构建CS恒河猴群体的整体视图。母系家庭血统和谱系可以用各种树的形式可视化，以及父系血统可以追溯到20世纪70年代中期。生成社会群体进化图表，并为原始记录添加新的特征。在群体互动和动物转移日志的背景下研究了繁殖模式。家谱和骨学数据之间的交叉参考也可以完成。CSViewer应用程序支持大多数这些图表，并提供方便的工具提示功能，以便根据需要显示详细信息。基于创始人线、性别和出生季节等属性的选择可以应用于为研究项目量身定制图表，这样研究人员就可以放大数据集，以最好地支持他们的分析目标。

期刊介绍： The objective of the American Journal of Primatology is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and findings among primatologists and to convey our increasing understanding of this order of animals to specialists and interested readers alike. Primatology is an unusual science in that its practitioners work in a wide variety of departments and institutions, live in countries throughout the world, and carry out a vast range of research procedures. Whether we are anthropologists, psychologists, biologists, or medical researchers, whether we live in Japan, Kenya, Brazil, or the United States, whether we conduct naturalistic observations in the field or experiments in the lab, we are united in our goal of better understanding primates. Our studies of nonhuman primates are of interest to scientists in many other disciplines ranging from entomology to sociology.
