AB  - There are some predictable patterns of trauma in captive rhesus macaque (Macaca 
      mulatta) social groups. Several factors have been documented to contribute to 
      these patterns, including group formation of unrelated animals, and the 
      establishment of dominance ranks. Here, we report on how socially induced trauma 
      in groups of rhesus monkeys is influenced by the breeding season, numbers of 
      matrilines per group and matriline size. We analyzed 3 years of data collected 
      from veterinary admittance logs for four groups in our specific pathogen free 
      (SPF) breeding colony. Since the groups differed in time from formation, both the 
      numbers of matrilines and the composition of those matrilines were different. 
      Across the four groups, trauma rates were significantly higher during the fall 
      breeding season than the spring and summer months when births occur. The group 
      that was formed most recently, comprised of the greatest number of matrilines but 
      fewest related animals, showed significantly higher rates of trauma than the 
      older social groups. Further, the middle and lowest ranking families received 
      signifincantly higher rates of trauma than the highest ranking families, 
      suggesting a rank-related phenomenon. Additionally, there was a significant 
      negative correlation between numbers of adult females in a matriline and rates of 
      trauma observed in each matriline, but the numbers of adult females are 
      significantly higher in the top ranked families compared to all of the other 
      matrilines. These findings suggest that trauma rates increase during the breeding 
      season and may be exacerbated in recently formed breeding groups that have 
      smaller matrilines and reduced opportunities for social support to mitigate 
      rank-related aggression. Management practices should be devised to ensure 
      adequate matrilineal size to decrease rates of trauma in captive rhesus macaque 
      groups.
