Effects of manipulatable objects on the activity of captive capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)

We conclude that providing straw and portable objects in an already well equipped cage is an effective means of long-term behavioral enrichment for [group-housed] captive capuchin monkeys.

Animal boredom: Is a scientific study of the subjective experiences of animal possible? In: Advances in Animal Welfare

Boredome, is a process in which animals gradually cease to be active interactors and loose their interest in the environment, becoming apathetic and/or inflexible in their responses.

Normal serum biochemical, hematological, and EKG parameters in anesthetized adult male Macaca fascicularis and Macaca arctoides

Author underscores undesirable variations in serum biochemical and hematological parameters in macaques and suggests that incongruities between values presented in different reports may be due to a variety of factors including the method of restraint during handling procedures.

Passive joint mobility in patas monkeys: Rehabilitation of caged animals after release into a free-ranging environment

Housing in small cages had detrimental effects on joint mobility, which could be reversed by releasing the animals into a free-ranging environment.

Utilization of space by adult and juvenile groups of captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)

The incorporation of vertical structures, visual barriers, and multiple small areas to create complexity in captive chimpanzee housing is often practical and may aid in creating an environment more conductive to normal social interaction.
