Parent Stock

Sixty-eight cranial dimensions of the St Kitts green monkey have been compared with the corresponding ones in the African green monkey. The skulls of the island monkeys are now bigger and less variable than those of the modern mainland descendants of its parent stock. The most meaningful changes have occurred in measurements of the breadth of the skull. No changes in the variability of meristic cranial characters have been found. The changes in the dimensions of the skull parallel those that have occurred in the teeth. It is possible that both result from the action of natural selection on a third reacting system, perhaps general body-size.

The Difference

We have established a new simian-type blood group system (M blood groups) in the African green monkey ( Cercopithecus aethiops), using a haemagglutinating antibody which was developed by alloimmunization. The M blood groups consisted of two phenotypes, type-M and type-m. We have also determined the mode of inheritance as well as the distribution of both simian-type M and human-type ABO blood groups, employing 113 families including 160 animals. The family analysis revealed that (1) the simian-type M blood groups were governed by the two alleles, dominant M and recessive m, and (2) the humantype ABO blood groups were governed by 3 alleles, codominant A and B and silent O, although no monkey of phenotype-O was found in our breeding colony. Differences in the phenotypic distribution and gene frequency of respective M and ABO blood groups were observed among 3 populations imported at different times. The genetic management of the African green monkey breeding colony was discussed in relation to the difference in distribution of phenotypes of M and ABO blood groups between the parental (wild-originated) and the first filial (colony-born) populations.
