Lighting requirements of nocturnal primates in captivity: A chronobiological approach
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.1430080209.abs From the results of chronobiological studies in 11 Aotus lemurinus (trivirgatus) griseimembra, 3 Galago garnettii, 5 Galago senegalensis, and 6 Microcebus murinus, inferences can be made on the most suitable lighting conditions for nocturnal primates kept in captivity. In each species studied light controls the daily periodic course of activity in a dual […]
Paternal care in New World Primates
Extensive parental care is well developed in several genera of New World primates (genera Callicebus, Aotus, Callimico, Calltthrix, Cebuella, Leontopithecus, Saguinus) including most of the indirect and direct paternal care behaviors described by Kleiman and Malcolm (1981). Paternal care is correlated with a monogamous (and perhaps polyandrous) mating system and a small group size. Additionally, […]
