Seeing is Believing: Repeated Exposure to Animals in Anthropomorphic Contexts Promotes Desire for Exotic Pets
Research has shown that visual depictions of nonhuman animals in anthropomorphic settings can foster beliefs that wild animals make good pets and are safe in the wild. These beliefs may develop due to repeated exposure to anthropomorphic images, but no study has experimentally demonstrated this. Slideshows in which the ratio of anthropomorphic images to natural images varied for three nonhuman animal species were created. After viewing one of the…
Preferential snake detection in a simulated ecological experiment
OBJECTIVES: According to Isbell's snake detection theory (SDT), the need to rapidly detect and thus avoid snakes had a major impact on the evolution of the primate visual system, and thus the origin and evolution of the primate lineage, as expansion of the visual sense is a key characteristic of primates. The SDT rests on the assumption that there are both cortical (conscious) and subcortical (unconscious) brain structures and pathways that are r…

Patterns on serpentine shapes elicit visual attention in marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus )
Given the prevalence of threatening snakes in the evolutionary history, and modern-day environments of human and nonhuman primates, sensory, and perceptual abilities that allow for quick detection of, and appropriate response to snakes are likely to have evolved. Many studies have demonstrated that primates recognize snakes faster than other stimuli, and it is suggested that the unique serpentine shape is responsible for its quick detection. Howe…
Scratching under positive and negative arousal in common marmosets ( Callithrix jacchus )
Scratching has been widely used as an indicator of anxiety in many primate species. However, a handful of studies have shown no change in scratching under anxiety-provoking circumstances. In addition, the existing literature has investigated scratching only in relation to negative arousal (i.e., anxiety), even though anxiety and excitement (positive arousal) share important physiological and behavioral correlates, including increased heart rate, …

Alarm Calls of Marmosets (Callithrix geoffroyi) to Snakes and Perched Raptors
Pre‐retirement predator encounters alter the morning behavior of captive marmosets ( Callithrix geoffroyi )
Limited data are available on the long‐term effect an encounter with a predator has on its potential prey. Anecdotal reports from field research indicate that even unsuccessful attacks by predators on callitrichids have long‐lasting effects. The subjects for this study were two groups of Geoffroy's marmosets ( Callithrix geoffroyi ) housed outside, off exhibit, at the Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species at the San Diego Wild Animal Park…

Cutting costs in response to predatory threat by Geoffroy's marmosets (Callithrix geoffroyi)
Ideally, prey should respond to their predators efficiently, without over- or underreacting to the threat. This may be particularly important for small-bodied species for whom metabolic demands are high and predatory risk is great. In the current study, two family groups of Callithrix geoffroyi living outside in a rural setting at the Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species, San Diego Wild Animal Park, were observed before, during, and afte…

Evidence for a “monitoring call” in red‐bellied tamarins
In addition to a variety of calls whose functions are to increase or decrease space among individuals, many species of primates use one or more vocalizations that are emitted in no one particular context and elicit no one particular response. Although investigators have given this type of vocalization a number of different names (e.g., contact call, cohesion call), what these calls seem to have in common is that 1) they allow individuals to monit…
Vigilance, vocalizations, and cryptic behavior at retirement in captive groups of red‐bellied tamarins ( Saguinus labiatus )
Frequent references are made to presumed antipredator adaptations exhibited by callitrichids, but there are very few systematic investigations of these behaviors. One set of untested presumptions stems from observations that callitrichids become especially vigilant and cryptic prior to retirement each evening. This hypothesis was tested in the current study by quantifying the rates of vocalizations and extragroup behavior at various times of the …
Visual monitoring of threatening objects by captive tamarins ( Saguinus labiatus )
Captive social groups of red‐bellied tamarins ( Saguinus labiatus ) were observed in the presence of threatening, inanimate objects. The tamarins monitored the stimuli over the course of the 20‐minute trials by conducting brief, periodic visual checks of the objects. The average number of checks per subject per trial was stable both across trials and between groups, and individual differences in rates varied relatively little around the group mea…

Personality traits of adolescent pig‐tailed monkeys ( Macaca nemestrina ): An analysis of social rank and early separation experience
Personality ratings of ten adolescent pig‐tailed macaques ( Macaca nemestrina ) were carried out by three experienced observers who used a simple three‐point rating system. A modification of Stevenson‐Hinde & Zunz's [1978] procedure, the agreement between raters on each of 21 traits was evaluated. When correlated with social rank, it was shown that dominant animals were rated as being, for example, confident, effective, and opportunistic. Subordi…
The effect of peer contact upon physiological response to maternal separation
The response of both human and nonhuman primate infants to separation from their mothers is characterized by agitation or protest behaviors followed by a behavioral depressive reaction. In monkeys, this behavioral syndrome has striking physiological correlates, including heart rate and sleep disturbances. There is, however, considerable individual variability in response to maternal separation. The authors hypothesized that the amount of contact …
