Gorilla behavior in response to systematic alternation between zoo enclosures

Gorillas were more likely to increase exhibit use and visibility to zoo visitors during a 4-day novel phase compared to subsequent days in the exhibit. Regularly alternating gorillas between zoo exhibits is a form of environmental enrichment that can increase...

The development of an operant conditioning training program for New World priamtes at the Bronx Zoo

A New World primate operant conditioning training program is described. The animals appear to be more comfortable during daily husbandry procedures. Lion tamarins were relatively slow to become comfortable with training. Marmosets took longer than tamarins or cebids to begin...

Food competition in captive female sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus torquatus atys)

We studied the social and foraging behavior of two captive groups of sooty mangabeys under two different spatial food situations. These food conditions were clumped (food was placed in a box) and dispersed (food was dispersed over the entire enclosure)....
