The effect of mother-infant separation in captive baboons on time intervals to first postpartum estrus, confirmed pregnancy and subsequent parturition

It is generally thought that early forced-weaning of infants would reduce the time from parturition to the first fertile postpartum estrus thus maximizing reproductive efficiency. ... From a survey of 23 animal records we determined the following values for mothers...

Videotapes as enrichment for captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

Individually housed subjects watched the videotapes more than socially housed subjects. When viewing time was averaged across all videotapes, the chimpanzees watched the monitor a mean of 38.4% of the time available. ... Subjects habituated to repeated presentations of the...

Control over videotape enrichment for socially housed chimpanzees

Social behavior and solitary play were higher in subjects with control over the onset of videotapes, while scratching [generally regarded as a sign of tension] was higher in those groups who lacked control. The results indicate that giving chimpanzees control...
