Taylor, W. J., Brown, D. A., Richardson, R. L. et al.

Abstract

Already familiar adult male bonnet macaques were moved from one-month, and 24-month temporary single-housing to pair- and trio-housing situations. The males were only given the opportunity for social integration [in a playpen] one day [for four hours] each day. ... Duration of prior individual housing appeared to significantly affect social behavior [grooming].
