Socially-mediated learning in groups of primates: models and methods

An ethological understanding of a behavioral phenomenon incorporates four levels of explanation: development, mechanism, function, and evolution. The phenomenon of socially-mediated learning has garnered a great deal of attention from ethologists, prominently including primatologists. Gregarious primates often exhibit specific behaviors...

Social compatibility in a newly formed all-male group of white crowned mangabeys (Cercocebus atys lunulatus)

Surplus males in primate captive populations are a common problem for zoos. Some captive breeding programs promote all-male groups as an adequate option to house surplus males, but there have been few attempts to assess the feasibility of this management...

Positive reinforcement training to enhance the voluntary movement of group-housed sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys atys)

Over a 4-mo period we conducted 57 training sessions totaling 26.5 h of training. .. In the first 5 training sessions, 76% of the monkeys cooperated with the request to move; during the last 5 sessions, 86% cooperated, indicating some...
