Physiologic measures of nonhuman primates during physical restraint and chemical immobilization

Of 56 physically restrained [during blood collection] primates, 30 (54%) experienced severe metabolic acidosis (p. 866). The animals had more rapid respiration and pulse rates, higher rectal temperatures, and larger base deficit. ... Primates immobilized with ketamine ... had a...

Restraint in primate chair may cause unusual behavior in baboons: Electrocorticographic correlates and corrective effects of diazepam

The prolonged drowsy-like ECoG [electrocorticogram] and behaviour may therefore underline a reaction to the 'stress' conditions brought on by restraint.

Baboon behavior under crowded conditions

A stable breeding troop's living space - barren room - was reduced step-wise up to 50%, by means of a movable wall. Crowding produced sharp increases in aggression, noticeable increase in tension and general activity. Social disintegration [e.g., vicious aggression,...

Baboon sleeping site preferences and relationships to primate grouping patterns

Baboons select nocturnal roosts with characteristics which suggest that choices of alternatives are based primarily upon their degree of security from predation. Sites chosen, in decreasing order of preference, are steep cliff faces, emerging trees, closed canopy forest trees and...
