BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT OF DELETERIOUS AGGRESSION IN RHESUS MACAQUES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本研究旨在探讨不同保育策略对灵长类动物自我导向行为发生的影响，以期设计出能减少自咬等异常行为发生、提高灵长类动物健康和幸福感的保育策略。我们的具体目标是研究变化的重要性，在社会化和独立的时间在恒河猴的社会和行为发展。我们的假设是，社会伙伴和独立时间的变化是重要的因素，规范的行为和社会发展的恒河猴。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of different nursery rearing strategies on the emergence of self-directed behaviors so as to design nursery rearing methods that will reduce the development of abnormal behaviors such as self-biting and enhance primate health and well-being. Our specific aims are to examine the importance of variation in socialization and independent time in rhesus macaque social and behavioral development. Our hypothesis is that both variation in social partners and independent time are important factors for normative behavioral and social development in rhesus macaques.
