Double invisible displacement understanding in orangutans: Testing in non-locomotor and locomotor space
Can Black‐and‐White Ruffed Lemurs ( Varecia variegata ) Solve Object Permanence Tasks
We examined object permanence in black‐and‐white‐ruffed lemurs ( Varecia variegata) at Zoo Atlanta. A series of visible and invisible displacement tasks with suitable controls were presented to five adult subjects. Subjects performed significantly above chance on all regular tasks, except for the double invisible displacements. Subjects failed visible and invisible controls. Failure on the control trials did not appear to be because subjects used…
Using Technology to Educate Zoo Visitors About Conservation
Zoos are in a unique position to educate the public about conservation issues. To improve public education practices, it is important to understand how various educational techniques influence visitor learning and experience at the zoo. Therefore, we studied the effects of 3 educational conditions on visitor behavior and knowledge at the Zoo Atlanta orangutan exhibit: no presentation, a video presentation, and a live presentation. Stay time data …
Habituation and desensitization as methods for reducing fearful behavior in singly housed rhesus macaques
Operant conditioning using positive reinforcement techniques has been used extensively in the management of nonhuman primates in both zoological and laboratory settings. This research project was intended to test the usefulness of counter‐conditioning techniques in reducing the fear‐responses of singly housed male rhesus macaques living in the laboratory environment. A total of 18 male rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) were selected for this pro…
Postconflict behavior in captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)
Postconflict (PC) behaviors, including reconciliation and consolation, have been observed in many primate and several nonprimate species. Using the PC-matched control (MC) method, PC behavior was examined in two groups (n=13) of captive western lowland gorillas, a species for which no conflict resolution data have been published. Analyses of 223 conflicts showed significantly more affiliation between former opponents after a conflict when compare…
Survey of stereotypic behavior in prosimians
Captive animals have been observed to perform a variety of stereotypic behaviors. However, little is known about stereotypic behavior in prosimians. We sent surveys to 96 AZA-accredited institutions to examine stereotypic behavior in these primates. Forty-eight surveys were returned, providing information on 440 individuals of 10 genera. According to the responses, 13.2% of the prosimians surveyed exhibited some form of stereotypic behavior. Paci…
Proximity patterns of female western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ) during the six months after parturition
Studies of wild mountain gorillas have demonstrated strong preferences among new mothers for the silverback. Protection against infanticide has been theorized to be the primary cause for this attraction. We examined social partner preferences in captive western lowland mothers during the 6 mo after parturition and found that juveniles and females were the primary members of the new mothers' social network. Mothers spent significantly more time in…

Urinary androgen and corticoid levels in captive, male Western lowland gorillas (Gorilla g. gorilla): Age- and social group-related differences
Urinary androgen and corticoid levels in captive, male Western lowland gorillas ( Gorilla g. gorilla ): Age‐ and social group‐related differences
Urinary androgen and corticoid levels were measured for 52 captive male Western lowland gorillas to examine age‐related variance and potential differences resulting from various social situations. Significant diurnal variation was present in both hormones. Age‐related differences in androgens revealed that males experienced two stages of androgen increase and one stage of decrease: increases occurred from juvenile (less than 10 yr of age) to suba…

Successful feeding enrichment for captive chimpanzees
An analysis of a feeding enrichment program for captive chimpanzees was completed to determine the effects of that program on the incidence of agonistic and abnormal behaviors by using 41 adult chimpanzees in six social groups. Four feeding enrichment procedures were implemented simultaneously in the experimental phase of this ABA design study. The procedures were planned to elicit time‐consuming, noncompetitive feeding, theorizing a consequent r…
Maternal transport and infant motor development in a captive group of lowland gorillas
Environmental variables and great ape husbandry
The reproductive success of the great apes is a matter of considerable importance. The variables that contribute to reproductive failure are many. Environmental variables may be classified as physical or social. Historically, authorities have suggested that environments should be large, dynamic, natural, challenging, and occupied by social groups. Valid habitats contribute to the normal development of social and ultimately reproductive behaviors.…
The development of infant play in a captive group of lowland gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla )
Three infant gorillas born at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center of Emory University were studied during their first year and one‐half of life for various aspects of behavior, including solitary and social play, using both focal animal and one‐zero sampling. The appearance of play in these infants followed a developmental trend, beginning with mother‐infant play, and followed by solitary play, and then social play among peers. Mothers we…

Persistent Peer Attachments of Rhesus Monkeys: Responses to Reunion after Two Years of Separation
12 4 1/2-yr.-old rhesus monkeys, 6 of each sex, were reunited with like-sexed peers with which they had spent their second year of life. Responses of 5s to reunion with familiar animals were compared with their responses to pairing with unfamiliar like-sexed peers. The members of familiar pairs had been separated for more than 2 yr. prior to reunion. 5s displayed less aggression, fear/submission, and disturbance, and more affiliation, while paire…

Abnormal Behavior in Non-Isolate-Reared Rhesus Monkeys
The research reported here documents the existence of self-directed aggression in non-isolate-reared rhesus monkeys. Ss for this series of studies were reared with their mothers for most of the first year of life, and each animal experienced constant social access to a like-sexed peer throughout its second year of life. Significant amounts of social contact were also provided during the third and fourth years. Ss were observed in social situation…
