Enrichment for Nonhuman Primates: Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri)

摘要

This book serves as an introduction to the basic behavior and environmental enrichment of a specific species of nonhuman primates that are more commonly used in education, research and entertainment. In many ways, this book is meant to be a how to manual; it is not intended to be a broad scientific review of the primate behavior and enrichment literature. The fundamental premise taken is that for an enrichment program to be effective, there must be a basic understanding of the biology and behavior of the primate species.
