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，以促进动物的福利。 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。 关于黑猩猩社会学习的研究结果，以及如何利用黑猩猩的这种能力来帮助我们改善对它们的照顾，特别是关于我们如何训练黑猩猩的研究，已经有报道。NHP文献回顾福利，以确定如何将这一机构的工作可以应用到了解另一个物种（大象）的福利，是少得多的研究。 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。 审查了各种积极强化培训评价报告。 一个项目评估了许多动物园中黑猩猩群体的受伤率。

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. There have been 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. NHP literature was reviewed on welfare to determine how this body of work could be applied to understanding the welfare of another species (elephant) that is much less studied. Two brief entries into an "encyclopedia" of animal behavior were written on the topics of chimpanzees and captivity. Reports of various evaluations of positive reinforcement training were reviewed. One project assessed wounding rates in chimpanzee groups across many zoos.
