Psychological well-being of captive primates: General considerations and examples from callitrichids

In this chapter we raise some general considerations and criteria for developing and evaluating humane environments for captive primates, emphasizing some specific solutions that we have developed to deal with both physical and psychological needs in primates, particularly in Callitrichids....

Social deprivation and coronary artery atherosclerosis in female cynomolgus monkeys

We conclude that these findings indicate that single cage housing promotes coronary artery atherogenesis in these monkeys, and that social (tactile) isolation and physical restraint are salient features of single cage housing which may promote the exacerbation of coronary artery...

Primate psychological well-being: A comparative approach to environmental enrichment for captive primates

The presence of woodchips and especially the introduction of [unspecified] objects, reduced general locomotor activity in the capuchins; however, the objects had no such effect on the lemurs, and the provision of woodchips plus grain almost doubled their rates of...
