A note on enrichment for captive lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus)

Two enrichment techniques were devised with the aim of reducing stress and improving welfare for captive lion-tailed macaques in an Indian zoo. In Study A, a log, cotton ropes and a feeding basket were added to the enclosures in different...

Use of animal-operated folding perches by rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)

This study focused primarily on 2 issues: more efficient use of existing caging and providing animals with a measure of control over their environments. We designed a new springloaded folding perching apparatus that, when modified for size, could be added...

A functional view of abnormal behavior in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

However, less is known about effective treatments for abnormal behavior, and there appear to be wide individual differences in responses to the same treatment. .. Because abnormal behavior is highly idiosyncratic, a focus on function may help identifiy commonalities across...

Is pre-introduction behavior associated with the outcome of social introductions in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)

These findings suggest that general behavioral characteristics while subjects are housed alone do not predict the outcome of later social introductions.

Long-term grooming partnerships between unrelated adult females in a free-ranging group of Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata)

In order to examine the presence of long-term grooming relationships among unrelated females, grooming interactions of 18 adult females (range: 16-32 years) in a free-ranging group of Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata) were recorded in 2003 and compared with those recorded...
