Abstract Behavioural, pharmacological, and physiological evidence supports an association between displacement activities anxiety in macaques. Information is scarce other primate non-primate species. This study contributes to the understanding of relation emotional states by investigating correspondence self-directed behaviour inherently stressful situation chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Data were collected on 81 captive housed conditions varying from indoor single caging indoor/outdoor...
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to test whether long‐term pair housing male rhesus macaques ameliorated negative responses stressful events that can occur in the course routine husbandry or research procedures. Methods Twelve singly housed individuals were videotaped during two potentially before and after social introduction into pairs. During each stressor, abnormal behavior anxiety‐related quantified from videotape. Results When visually exposed restraint anesthesia...

Biogeography has its origins in European colonialism. The legacies of colonial relations are evident the distribution practicing biogeographers, direction flow biogeographical data, and language used when describing interpreting our studies. Biogeographers can address these through increasing access to research data publication outlets, improved recognition collaborative relationships, critically reflecting upon how assumptions perspectives might perpetuate attitudes. Achieving goals will...
Social housing remains one of the best forms environmental enhancement for nonhuman primates (NHPs). The gradual steps (GS) method, a 2-step plan involving an initial phase limited physical contact (protected [PC]) prior to full (FC), is widely used introducing macaque pairs. Recent evidence has suggested that administration diazepam FC introduction, without PC phase, improves success rate pairings among adult male rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ). Nevertheless, given popularity standard...
Abstract Pair housing of laboratory macaques is widely considered to lead positive changes in well‐being, yet the process introduction viewed as potentially stressful and risk‐prone. Behavioral physiological data were collected on eight adult male rhesus before, during, after introduction, order measure initial stress well long‐term well‐being. Socially experienced subjects, all implanted with biotelemetry devices, studied five successive phases: baseline (singly housed), 1 day each...
The behavioral management of laboratory nonhuman primates in the United States has not been thoroughly characterized since 2003. This article presents results a survey programs at 27 facilities and covering total 59,636 primates, 27,916 housed indoor cages 31,720 group enclosures. included questions regarding program structure, implementation, methodology associated with social housing, positive reinforcement training, human interaction, exercise enclosures, several categories inanimate...
In an effort reduce abnormal behaviors, especially regurgitation and reingestion, promote higher activate levels, straw scattered forage material were added to the enclosures of 13 indoor-housed chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) living in pairs trios. Behavioral effects examined by comparing 65 hr baseline condition with experimental condition. Subjects spent 8.7% observed time foraging or otherwise manipulating straw, no evidence habituation was found over 9 weeks. Males foraged at a rate three...
Abstract Animal welfare regulations in the United States require that nonhuman primate environmental enhancement plans be made accordance with currently accepted professional standards; however, little information is available for quantifying common practice. Here we report results of a 2003 survey was sent to individuals overseeing enrichment programs at variety research institutions. The surveys requested on program administration and management, implementation standards, procedures,...
Waterfalls are geomorphic features that often partition streams into discrete zones. Our study examined aquatic communities, litter decomposition and periphyton growth rates for above- below-waterfall pools in Ulu Temburong National Park, Brunei. We observed higher fish densities (0.24 m−2 vs. 0.02 above-waterfall pools) shrimp abundance (eight shrimp/pool less than one pools). However, macroinvertebrate (excluding shrimp) were similar among both pool types. Ambient was 2013 (4.3 2.8 g 2014...
Abstract In a biomedical research environment, or management procedures may render continuous full contact pairing of rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) unfeasible. This study aimed to determine whether separation on frequent basis housing in adjacent cages with tactile interferes the behavioral benefits contact. Behavioral data (1260 hours) were collected from 32 adult females and 16 males housed at two National Primate Research Centers. Subjects studied four conditions: single housing,...
Abstract The molecular, neurobiological, and physical health impacts of child maltreatment are well established, yet mechanistic pathways remain inadequately defined. Telomere length (TL) decline is an emerging molecular indicator stress exposure with definitive links to negative outcomes in maltreated individuals. multiple confounders endemic human research impede the identification causal pathways. This study leverages a unique randomized, cross-foster, design naturalistic translational...
Pain management in rabbits can be difficult because they are adept at hiding pain and stressed by handling restraint for injection. The use of opioid analgesics with prolonged durations activity could alleviate pain, but associated adverse effects including gastrointestinal ileus, inappetence, tissue reactions have been reported. In this study, we compared gross the site injection, food consumption, fecal production after single injections buprenorphine HCl (Bup; n = 7), sustained-release...
Meeting the psychological needs of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) can be a challenge given their aggressiveness on one hand and complexity social lives other. It is unclear how to balance need provide opportunities for species-appropriate behavior against potential risks injury may inflict each This study evaluates suggestion that simpler environments protect from wounding. Over two-year period all visible injuries 46 adult males, 64 females, 25 immature were recorded at Yerkes Regional...
While intercommunity interactions are well documented in wild chimpanzees, the influence of neighboring captive groups on social behavior has not been investigated. This study examined vocalizations and noisy displays produced (i.e., "neighbor vocalization") intragroup hooting, bluff displays, agonistic behavior. Chimpanzees from two broadly differing housing conditions were selected order to examine effect groups: "Wing Groups" (those living indoor/outdoor pens with auditory access large...
Pair housing for caged macaques in the laboratory generally allows unrestricted tactile contact but, less commonly, may involve limited via grooming-contact bars or perforated panels. The purpose of using this protected housing, which prevents entry into pair-mates' cages, typically is to accommodate research and management requirements. study used behavioral data collected on 12 pairs female longtailed (Macaca fascicularis) at Washington National Primate Research Center 7 rhesus mulatta)...
Abstract Ketamine hydrochloride is frequently administered to non‐human primates as a means of chemical restraint. This procedure can be frequent source stress monkeys at research facilities, impacting animal health, well‐being and quality. study was designed measure ketamine's effect on daily food intake, parameter that reflects influences directly impacts studies. On five occasions, baseline intake compared occurring 24, 48, 72, 96, 120 h after an intramuscular injection 10 mg/kg ketamine...
This study evaluated the application of positive reinforcement training (PRT) as an intervention for abnormal behaviors in singly housed laboratory rhesus macaques at 2 large primate facilities. Training involved basic control and body-part presentation. The compared baseline behavioral data on 30 adult males 33 females with 3 treatment phases presented counterbalanced order: 6 min per week PRT, 20 or 40 unstructured human interaction (HI). Within-subject parametric tests detected no main...
