Social and environmental influences on self-aggression in monkeys

Simply separating the individuals off from the rest of the group ... led to a significant increase in SA [Self-Aggression]. .. It is clear that enriched environmental conditions reduced SA [self-aggression]. Allowing [group-housed] monkeys to forage through clean woodchips, even...

Chapter XX: Non-human primates

Any primate housed alone will probably suffer from social deprivation, the stress from which may distort processes, both physiological and behavioural.

Allowing captive primates to forage

A woodchip litter substrate reduces abnormal behaviours, primarily self-aggression, and encourages foraging, even in the absence of grain. Comparison between the bare floor and litter with grain showed that in the latter monkeys foraged more, manipulated the environment less, were...

Recommendations on laboratory housing for macaques in the Netherlands

Guidelines for housing of macaques in the Netherlands. Single-cage housing should be discontinued as a standard procedure for long-term housing. ... Young animals should be given larger cages [than minimal-sized standard cage] to permit exercise. ... The cage should have...

Effects of weaning age on maternal reproduction and offspring health in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)

Under confinement conditions there was a significant dependency between offspring weaning age and subsequent conception of the mother. Females with infants weaned at 6 months had higher reproductive rates [87%] than other females with infants weaned at 8 [78%], 10...

The influence of the zoo environment on social behavior of groups of cotton-topped tamarins (Saguinus oedipus oedipus)

The data collected in this study indicate that the zoo environment leads to a decrease in social behavior both between adults and between adults and young, with increased parent-young aggression and reduced play and mounting behavior. ... The environment of...

Influence of restraint and ketamine anesthesia on adrenal steroids, progesterone, and gonadotropins in rhesus monkeys

Determination of basal circulating hormone levels in nonhuman primates presents a problem since handling or restraint of the animal for venipuncture may introduce sufficient stress to change hormonal secretion. ...Each bleeding was made in conscious [female] monkeys after restraining the...

Infant-use by male gelada in agonistic contexts: agonistic buffering, progeny protection or soliciting support?

Two alternative theories have been proposed to explain why some male primates carry infants during agonistic encounters with other males. The first (agonistic buffering) suggests that males carry the infants of higher ranking opponents in order to defuse the latter's...
