Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinarians and behavioral scientists have to work together to manage the lives and enhance the welfare of captive non-human primates. This involves virtually all aspects of the primates’ care and environment, including issues related to husbandry, health care, research participation, socialization, and environmental enrichment. All of the articles in this Special Issue will focus on situations in which veterinarians and behavioral scientists have collaborated to address issues related to the health and welfare of non-human primates maintained in captivity in laboratories, breeding colonies, zoos, and sanctuaries. All of the articles will be co-authored by the veterinarians and behavioral scientists who have worked, and continue to work, together. Articles will emphasize chimpanzees, baboons, macaques, and marmosets. Topics covered will focus on those issues that most directly address the specific purposes for which the nonhuman primates are living in captivity.
