Effect of Group Size on the Activity Budget of Two Captive Chimpanzees (<i>Pan troglodytes</i>)
… welfare. By tracking each chimpanzee’s activity budgets, managers can assess welfare and make improvements or adjustments if necessary. I looked at the activity budgets of two captive chimpanzees after the death of a group member and the two chimpanzees’ subsequent relocation to a novel, …

Feeding ecology, daily activity budget and primatourism of schlegel’s banded langur (presbytis neglectus) (schlegel,1876) in Kota Tinggi Johor
… Yet, the data for feeding ecology and daily activity budget for P. neglectus for development of PrimaTourism are non-existent. Thus, this study aimed to document record on feeding ecology and daily activity budget of P. neglectus in Kg. Johor Lama, Kota Tinggi, subsequently transforming the …

Efficacy of an Electronic Scarecrow on 4 Mammalian Crop-Raiders in Limpopo Province, South Africa
… control group animals to examine differences in activity budgets and behaviors of interest between groups. Compared to animals at sites with an inactive or no scarecrow, I hypothesized that animals in the treatment group would have altered activity budgets and rates of behaviors; that they would …

The Effects of Olfactory Stimuli on the Behavior of the Far Eastern/Amur Leopard (<i>Panthera pardus orientalis</i>) in Captivity
… on exhibit over 21 days to better understand the activity budget of leopards in captivity, and what effects olfactory stimuli may have on those activity patterns. Behaviors were observed through surveillance systems located around their enclosure and scored using an ethogram, and proportions of …

The behavioural ecology of the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) at the Reserva Particular Patrimônio Natural-Feliciano Miguel Abdala (RPPN-FMA), Minas Gerais, Brazil
… was intermonthly variation in the Jaó group’s activity budget, feeding time analyses, diurnal activity cycles, and day range travel lengths. The Matão group only exhibited intermonthly variation in their feeding time analyses and diurnal activity cycles. Greater intragroup feeding competition …

Examining Environmental Use by Captive <i>Lemur catta</i> and <i>Varecia rubra</i>
… functions at the Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle, WA. Activity budget and spatial use data I collected revealed that lemurs at the Woodland Park Zoo did not seem to spend an atypical proportion of their behaviors as inactive compared to their wild counterparts. However, neither species utilized the …

An interdisciplinary study on the human-baboon interface in Rooiels, South Africa
… urban area may influence the ranging patterns, activity budget, diet, and life history of baboons. I explored the spatial and behavioural ecology of the Rooiels troop using GPS data and behavioural observations, respectively, and used questionnaires to understand the attitudes, emotions, and …

Analysis of seasonal variation in dietary composition and behaviour of wild chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in two habitats of different human influence around windhoek, central Namibia
… the city of Windhoek. The study investigated the activity budget and diet of the baboons using data collected from two contrasting habitats (Dobra and farm Krumhuk) that are influenced by human activities. A total of 166 baboons were observed during 2 seasons (wet & dry) at two sites using a focal …

Using activity budgets and space use preferences to define enclosure appropriateness for African painted dogs, Lycaon pictus (Temminck 1820)
… of how an animal uses its space and activity budgets may be required to understand their biological requirements more fully in zoological environments. The findings in these behaviour observations will aid the design of exhibits and, in turn, potentially maximize the animals’ welfare. …

Behavioural and isotope ecology of marine-foraging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa
… of marine foraging on ranging behaviour and activity budgets through different seasons have yet to be quantified. Furthermore, all previous studies included data from troops that had access to nutrient-rich exotic foods, which may have reduced their reliance on marine organisms. For this …

Ecology of the Belizean black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra): a comparison between two populations living in a riparian forest and on coastal limestone hills
… population density, home range size and activity patterns between those two populations. We predicted the disturbed riparian forest to have higher food availability but a less diverse diet with a higher consumption of fruits. Thus, we predicted howlers to have higher population density, …

The effects of habitat disturbance, host traits, and host physiology on patterns of gastrointestinal parasite infection in black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra)
… adaptive pattern in behavior (e.g., a similar activity budget across howler populations), demography (e.g., social groups characterized by small size and minimal changes in composition), and physiology (e.g., low stress levels, limited multiple parasitic infections). Overall, this perspective …

Social, ecological, and developmental influences on fruit and invertebrate foraging strategies and gut microbial communities in white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus)

The vertical structure of stratospheric planetary waves and its variability : theory and observations
… we regard the waves as consisting of many wave activity packets that propagate from the troposphere through the stratosphere, until they dissipate. A technique that follows a wave packet on its journey through the stratosphere, while keeping track of variations in wave activity that are due to …
