Deconstructing Harry

With the cloth mother work, he showed that the babies - and to him they were babies, not just monkey babies - [not only need milk but] need to be touched, and they need to cuddle, and they need all...

Effects of browse, human visitors and noise on the behaviour of capive orang utans

Provision of fresh browse [usually willow] led to a decrease in the time spent inactive ..... it also led to an increase in the time spent by adults foraging for small food items in the woodchip floor-covering beneath the branches...

Factors predicting increased incidence of abnormal behavior in malepigtailed macaques

Abnormal behavior was unrelated to the subject's housing location (biocontainment vs. other facility) or invasiveness of research. Nursery-reared subjects displayed more abnormal behavior than mother-reared subjects. Across and within rearing categories, the proportion of the first 48 months of life...

Effects of training in relation to welfare and coping with routine husbandry procedures

12 marmosets were trained to provide urine samples on request. When matched behavioural data were collected from twelve untrained animals, which were less tame and less used to human interaction, significantly more time was spent self-scratching and locomoting, as well...

Novel and economical structural enrichment for a unique colony of group-housed macaques: Success and failures

Social enrichment provided by group mates seems to overwhelm the effects of inanimate enrichment. With this thought in mind, rather than provide traditional puzzle or chewing devices, we designed structural enrichment. Different levels of perching and visual barriers were installed....

Onset of aggressive toy biting by a laboratory baboon coincides with cessation of self-injurious behavior

After age 7.1 years, SIB became more frequent, usually directed at one knee. Neither daily Prozac or periods of social contact [grooming-contact bars] eliminated SIB. The baboon abruptly ceased SIB at age 12.5 years, coinciding with the onset of aggressive...
