Effects of physical and chemical restraint on intravenous glucose tolerance test in crested black macaques (Macaca nigra)

Restrained monkeys appeared relaxed, but glucose clearance and insulin secretion were impaired and cortisol values increased.

Aggression with mixed age-sex groups of Bolivian squirrel monkeys following single animal introductions and new group formations

When introducing new animals to an established group, the new animals should be unfamiliar with one another so as not to form competing 'teams'. Additions to groups should include enough animals so that aggression from the resident group will be...

Cage design and configuration for an arboreal species of primate

Squirrel monkeys preferred a poly-vinyl-chloride pipe perch (rigid) over rope perches (non-rigid). For an arboreal animal, a higher perch may be perceived as safer. Additional perches decreased the propensity for development of tail ulcers associated with floor contact. With only...

Moving callitrichid monkeys from cages to outside areas

All animals avoided areas with little cover. The two tamarin families preferred an indoor cage to a large open area with little cover and consequently only showed a limited range of behavior when outside. When dense cover was provided to...

Enrichment in chimpanzees: Unpredictable ropes and tools

Chimpanzees preferred to play with ropes which acted unpredictably because the distant ends were in cages of other chimpanzees. Normal ropes were ignored.
