Nonhuman Primate

The presence of visitors does not affect the results of an instrumental enrichment program for chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

The presence of visitors had no affect of the way a group of chimpanzees [3 females and 3 males of unspecified age] made use of pipe feeders. The animals had to prepare simple tools to reach favorite food items placed...

Behavioral and cardiophysiological responses of common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) to social and environmental changes

In the present study behavioral and cardiophysiological responses of mated individuals of common marmosets were recorded while the animals were in an unfamiliar environment (1) alone, (2) with the pairmate [reunion], or (3) with an opposite-sexed stranger. Blood pressure and...

Early life experiences: Activity levels and abnormal behaviours in resocialised chimpanzees

It is concluded that human rearing, either alone or with conspecifics, influences behaviour through suppression of normal activity levels as a result of separation and elevation of levels of abnormal behaviours as a mechanism for coping with maternal loss and...

Nonhuman primate cage modifications for environmental enrichment

Perches and cage-connecting tunnels were fabricated for existing macaque caging. These are semi-permanent, easily sanitizable, and allow for all cage functions to operate as designed.
