Environmental enrichment for primates in laboratories
Environmental enrichment is a critical component of Refinement, one of the 3Rs underlying humane experimentation on animals. In this paper I discuss why primates housed in laboratories, which often have constraints of space and study protocols, are a special case for enrichment. I outline a framework for categorising the different types of enrichment, using the marmoset as a case study, and sum...
متن کاملEnvironmental enrichment for nonhuman primates: theory and application.
Investigators have an obligation to promote the psychological well-being of nonhuman primates used in research. Considerable emphasis has been placed on providing nonhuman primates with enriched environments as a means to achieve this objective. A framework is provided that consists of a set of hypotheses about well-being, and the extent to which exposure to various enrichment devices and proce...
متن کاملLong-distance calls in Neotropical primates.
Long-distance calls are widespread among primates. Several studies concentrate on such calls in just one or in few species, while few studies have treated more general trends within the order. The common features that usually characterize these vocalizations are related to long-distance propagation of sounds. The proposed functions of primate long-distance calls can be divided into extragroup a...
متن کاملEnvironmental enrichment for indoor cats: implementing enrichment.
In a previous article, we described our approach to implementation of effective environmental enrichment, which begins with the diagnosis of environmental features to determine how well they meet the behavior and welfare needs of indoor-housed cats. We formulate this diagnosis based on a pertinent history and physical evaluation. A pertinent history allows us to identify features of the cat and...

obtained during interviews with the ex-inhabitants of an abandoned village near the Igarapé do Urucú (a left affluent of the Rio Sucundurí, along the Serra do Sucundurí) indicates that M. acariensis and another species of marmoset with blackish hairs occur in the area. As M. melanurus has been confirmed as occurring in the Sucundurí Mountains (Noronha, unpubl. data), it is possible that these s...
