Addressing nonhuman primate behavioral problems through the application of operant conditioning: Is the human treatment approach a useful model?

Training by the systematic application of operant conditioning has been widely applied in the care, management, exhibition, and study of nonhuman primates and many other species, but is less often used to control problematic animal behavior such as stereotyped behavior...

Presence of a privacy divider increases proximity in pair-housed rhesus monkeys

We observed twenty-five pairs of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) both with and without the presence of a privacy divider. Monkeys spent significantly more time in the same half of the pair-cage when the divider was in place. Subjects were fifty...

Survey of environmental enhancement programs for laboratory primates

Here we report the results of a 2003 survey that was sent to individuals overseeing enrichment programs at a variety of primate research institutions. Data were obtained on the management of 35,863 primates in 22 facilities. While most primates were...
