Regurgitation in gorillas: possible model for human eating disorders (rumination/bulimia)

Regurgitation and reingestion behavior in gorillas is compared with two human disorders, rumination and bulimia. Eighty-four percent of captive gorillas that are more than 5 years old regurgitate and reingest. Comparisons are made on the basis of ontogeny, context, motor...

Resocialization of asocial chimpanzees

Successful resocialization techniques of asocial (insufficient opportunities have prevented the subject from acquiring the social experience necessary for compatible group living) chimpanzees and their practical implications are discussed. The problem of lack of opportunity for social learning is confounded by...

Laboratory Animal Husbandry: Ethology, Welfare and Experimental Variables

Clear discussion and comprehensive review of housing- and handling-related variables affecting research data. Cage size is probably determined more by tradition, economics, and some vague subjective impression about the animal's space requirements. ... The 'queue' effect of treating animals sequentially...

Environments for captive propagation of primates: Interaction of social and physical factors

This report includes summaries of research projects (conducted by myself and my colleagues) that have dealt with such issues as social organization, social bonds, social roles, aggression, spatial change, social density, provision of cover, group formation, crowding, and risk of...

Enclosure design and reproductive success of baboons used for reproductive research in Kenya

A total of 75 female and six male wild caught olive baboons were placed in three enclosures. Single cages were attached to the main enclosure to allow separation of individual group members for sample collection and other reasons. The purpose...
