A quantitative comparison of the behaviour of wild and caged baboon groups

(1) A wild and a caged baboon population were compared on the basis of roughly 300 hr of observation on each population. The effect of different population compositions is discussed.

Companionship is far more important [than large cage-volume]. Isolated chimpanzees in large cages show more behavioural effects of environmental restriction than do members of pairs kept in small cages.

Growth hormone secretion in the unanesthetized rhesus monkey in response to noxious stimulation

Individual monkeys exposed to sudden disturbances such as telephone ringing, confrontation by unfamiliar persons, or pinching of the abdominal skin showed an abrupt, marked elevation in plasma growth hormone.

If housed in a small cage by itself the vervet may become listless and apathetic, although it will survive.

Adrenocortical response to novelty and noxious stimulation

It was found in rats that the magnitude of the stress response to being transferred into an experimental cage is virtually the same as that produced by electrical shock. ... Exposure to a new environment, or novelty, may contribute significantly...

Pressure neurophathy in the hind foot of the guinea pig

Solid-bottom caging is often associated with pressure neurophaties. Evidence suggests that solid-bottom caging, with bedding is preferred by the animals.
