Comparison of confined mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) behavior in traditional and ecologically representative exhibits

Behavior in a confined group of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) was compared before and after their move from a traditional, all indoor exhibit to an indoor/outdoor facility. The outdoor exhibit was designed to represent as well as is possible important features...

Social housing and pregnancy outcome in captive pigtailed macaques

A greater number of moves decreased the probability of a viable birth and increased gestation length and the need for clinical treatment of the dam, while increased group size decreased gestation length. Increased moves and group size may increase stress...
