BEHAVIORAL MANAGEMENT OF NONHUMAN PRIMATES

这个子项目是许多利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 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。 维持一个健康、富有成效的研究群体对于支持艾滋病疫苗开发等各种项目的能力至关重要。 圈养非人类灵长类动物的行为管理计划包括应用环境富集技术、社会化策略和动物训练程序来促进动物的福利。 行为管理计划的各个方面都将受益于科学评估，本项目包括一些这样的评估。 书中有一章报告了与黑猩猩社会学习有关的发现，以及如何利用黑猩猩的这种能力来帮助改善我们对它们的照顾，特别是关于我们如何训练黑猩猩。在一本动物行为的“百科全书”中，有两个简短的条目是关于黑猩猩和圈养的。 一个项目评估了许多动物园中黑猩猩群体的受伤率。 另一份手稿是对一次动物福利会议的评论。

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. Maintaining a healthy, productive research colony is crucial to the ability to support diverse programs such as vaccine development for AIDS. Behavioral management programs for captive nonhuman primates include the application of environmental enrichment techniques, socialization strategies, and animal training procedures to promote the welfare of the animals. Various aspects of behavioral management programs will benefit from scientific evaluation, and this project includes some such evaluations. One book chapter reports on findings related to chimpanzee social learning and how this capacity of chimpanzees can be used to help improve our care for them, particularly with regard to how we train chimpanzees. Two brief entries into an "encyclopedia" of animal behavior were written on the topics of chimpanzees and captivity. One project assessed wounding rates in chimpanzee groups across many zoos. Another manuscript was a critical review of an animal welfare conference.
