Abstract

The animals made use of the object (U-shaped tube) more often when it was presented in the familiar home-cage than in the unfamiliar experimental cage. Results suggested that in general the object elicited a richer social behavioural repertoire.Abstract of this work has been published in:- European Marmoset Research Group Newsl 3: 2-3, 1994; Vitale A, Santamaria F, Queyras A; Response to a novel object by socially-housed comment marmosets.- XVth Congress of the International Primatological Society, 158, 1994; Vitale A, Santamaria F; Response to a novel object by socially-housed common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus).- Primate Report 42: 15-16, 1995; Vitale A, Santamaria F; Response to a novel object by socially-housed common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus).
