Douglas Candland (1934–2023)
Douglas Candland, founder of the first undergraduate major in animal behavior and long-time editor of the Review in General Psychology , passed away on April 16, 2023. Doug's influence in the fields of psychology and animal behavior was enormous. Doug was born on July 9, 1934, and grew up in Southern California. He completed his undergraduate degree at Pomona College in 1956, with a very interdisciplinary suite of majors in psychology, philosophy…
Chemical contraceptive impacts on cyclic progesterone and sexual behavior in zoo‐housed Western lowland gorillas
For regularly cycling primates in captivity, chemical contraceptives can be used to reduce the likelihood of unintentional offspring, but the effects on cyclic progesterone and sexual behavior have not been well studied in gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ). As zoos are invested in maintaining naturalistic behaviors and physiology, this is an important aspect of gorilla physical and mental health. We examined how exposure to combination and pro…
Hormones and Color Change in Female White-Cheeked Gibbons, Nomascus leucogenys
Anthropogenic influences on primate antipredator behavior and implications for research and conservation
Predation risk affects prey species' behavior, even in the absence of a direct threat, but human‐induced environmental change may disturb ecologically significant predator–prey interactions. Here, we propose various ways in which knowledge of antipredator tactics, behavioral risk effects, and primate–predator interactions could assist in identifying human‐caused disruption to natural systems. Using behavior to evaluate primate responses to the on…
Behavioral effects of introducing pied tamarin ( Saguinus bicolor ) to black howler monkey ( Alouatta caraya ) and white‐faced saki ( Pithecia pithecia ) in a zoological park
Mixed‐species primate exhibits are becoming more common in zoological parks as a means to display a diverse array of animals both more naturalistically and with more economy of space. Here, we describe behavioral changes during the introduction process of a pair of pied tamarins ( Saguinus bicolor ) to an established group of black howler monkeys ( Allouatta caraya ) and white‐faced saki monkeys ( Pithecia pithecia ). Data were collected during s…
Sexual and Hormonal Cycles in Geriatric Gorilla gorilla gorilla
Sexual behavior and hormonal estrus cycles in captive aged lowland gorillas ( gorilla gorilla )
To evaluate whether observed cycles in proceptive behavior in aging lowland gorilla females (age 40+) at Brookfield Zoo were driven by ovarian activity, we compared monthly behavioral data to estradiol and progestogen cycles based on fecal hormone assessments. Progestogen peaks showed regularity and close coincidence with monthly sexual behaviors. Estradiol was more variable. Progestogen peaks varied between 22±5 days for the control female (29 y…
