Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research has provided us with an increased understanding of how similar human and nonhuman primates are with regard to our behavioral, psychological, and affective capabilities and needs. This knowledge has prompted concerns about the use of nonhuman primates in laboratory research where their welfare may be compromised. However, robust research programs outside of the laboratory, using non-invasive methods, continue to provide important insights into the lives of nonhuman primates.
Original manuscripts that address behavioral, psychological, and affective research in nonhuman primates in settings other than laboratories, such as in sanctuaries or the wild, are invited for this special issue. In particular, comprehensive reviews and research articles using observational, survey, and non-coercive experimental methods, are encouraged for submission.
