    This study presents linear measurements of free-ranging Macaca sylvanus twins, comparing them to a perinatal female. The dizygous twins were likely 28 days premature.

    Area of Science:

    • Primatology
    • Comparative Anatomy
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Understanding growth patterns in non-human primates is crucial for conservation and evolutionary studies.
    • Macaca sylvanus (Barbary macaque) populations face conservation challenges, making detailed biological data valuable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document linear measurements and body proportions of free-ranging Macaca sylvanus twins.
    • To compare the twins' morphometrics with those of a full-term perinatal female of the same species.

    Main Methods:

    • Collection of linear measurements and assessment of body proportions from a set of free-ranging Macaca sylvanus twins.
    • Comparative analysis of the twins' measurements against data from a deceased full-term perinatal female Macaca sylvanus.

    Main Results:

    • The study presents detailed morphometric data for the Macaca sylvanus twins.
    • The twins, identified as dizygous, exhibited measurements suggesting a premature birth, approximately 28 days early, when compared to the full-term female.

    Conclusions:

    • The morphometric data provide insights into the growth and development of premature Macaca sylvanus.
    • This comparative analysis highlights potential deviations in body proportions associated with premature birth in this primate species.
