英文摘要
One of the most important issues in animal management is to
determine the optimal captive environment for the physical and
psychological well-being of a particular species. Estimates of
well-being require data on behavior, physiology, trauma, health, and
reproduction of animals under different living conditions. The
present project seeks to provide this information for species such as
the chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), and
pigtail macaque (M. nemestrina). Data collected on these three
species under a variety of conditions with standardized protocols will
provide a computerized data base that will enhance the ability of
national breeding programs to justify existing housing conditions
and/or provide an empirical basis for the design of future facilities.
The project is also part of an ongoing effort to develop a new
theoretical model of environmental effects on aggressive behavior.
Nonhuman primates have many checks on aggression, and appear to
effectively cope with social tension related to crowding through
appeasement and peacemaking. In 1997, data were collected on a group
of chimpanzee housed in a large naturalistic enclosure at Busch
Gardens, Florida. Data collection consisted of behavioral
observations and fecal samples, following the same methodology that we
used the previous years for the groups living at the Yerkes Primate
Center. The fecal samples are used to assess level of stress hormones
such as cortisol (an article on the validation of the method was
published in early 1998). Comparisons of the data collected on groups
housed under different conditions at the Yerkes Center suggest that
chimpanzee behavior differs depending on the density condition and the
number of neighboring groups housed nearby. In addition, data on
wounds recorded every week for each chimpanzee living at the Yerkes
Center show that housing condition affects the frequency and severity
of the wounds. A NATO Collaborative Research Grant has supported an
extension of our project to the large group of chimpanzees of the
Arnhem zoo in whic h similar data have been collected. Behavioral
observations have also been done on two groups of pigtail macaques
housed in small enclosures at the New Iberia Primate Center,
Louisiana. These data will be compared with data already collected on
groups of the same species housed in larger compounds at the Yerkes
Center. Observations have also been completed on one of the Yerkes
groups after it was moved into a larger compound to document
behavioral changes. A first study on the short-term effects of
increased density in a sample of 45 chimpanzees was published we found
that under high-density conditions social behavior was reduced,
whereas behavioral indicators of stress increased. Another published
article dealt with an empirical test of behavioral indicators of
stress and anxiety in chimpanzees. Video images of chimpanzees,
pigtail and rhesus macaques collected and catalogued in previous years
have been assembled into videotapes that will support a behavior
manual. Videotapes and the behavior manual will be resources to
assist others in the interpretation of the computerized data base.
