Strangers in a strange land: Abnormal behavior or abnormal environments? In: Captivity and Behavior

It is the purpose of this chapter to review some of the information on abnormal behavior of primates and the environmental factors associated with them. ... Virtually all captive-reared macaques confined in small cages early in life express this behavioral...

Aggression in captive macaques: Interaction of social and spacial factors

Providing a male-dominated group access to two rooms (more space) rather than one (less space) allowed some animals to be out of the dominant male's sight. Loss of the male's control over his group resulted in a dramatic increase in...

Baboon behavior under crowded conditions

A stable breeding troop's living space - barren room - was reduced step-wise up to 50%, by means of a movable wall. Crowding produced sharp increases in aggression, noticeable increase in tension and general activity. Social disintegration [e.g., vicious aggression,...

Reconciliation and consolation among chimpanzees

After agonistic interactions among chimpanzees, former opponents often come into non-violent body contact. The present paper gives a quantitative description of such contacts among the chimpanzees of a large semi-free-living colony at the Arnhem Zoo, in order to establish whether...

Interactions between males and unweaned barbary macaques: testing the agonistic buffering hypothesis

Observations of wild Barbary macaques in the Moroccan Middle Atlas revealed more male interaction with unweaned monkeys than has been described for other Cercopithecoidea. 2. Adult, subadult and juveniles males were all involved. On the birth of a new season's...
