Recent advances in color vision researchHannah M Buchanan-Smith
Scottish Primate Research Group, Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Scotland
Am J Primatol 67:393-8. 2005....- Effects of training on stress-related behavior of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) in relation to coping with routine husbandry proceduresLois Bassett
Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Scotland
J Appl Anim Welf Sci 6:221-33. 2003..In response to the stressor, however, trained animals showed no significant change in excreted urinary cortisol. These results suggest that training marmosets may allow them to cope better with routine laboratory procedures... - Training common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) to cooperate during routine laboratory procedures: ease of training and time investmentJean McKinley
Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Scotland
J Appl Anim Welf Sci 6:209-20. 2003..The results suggest that positive reinforcement training is a practical option in the management of laboratory-housed marmosets... - The effect of colour vision status on the detection and selection of fruits by tamarins (Saguinus spp.)Andrew C Smith
Scottish Primate Research Group, Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA, UK
J Exp Biol 206:3159-65. 2003..This is the first time that a trichromatic foraging advantage has been demonstrated for monkeys using naturalistic stimuli with the same chromatic properties as those encountered by wild animals... - The effects of caretaker-primate relationships on primates in the laboratoryCorri Waitt
Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Scotland
J Appl Anim Welf Sci 5:309-19. 2002.... 
Living together: behavior and welfare in single and mixed species groups of capuchin (Cebus apella) and squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus)Rebecca Leonardi
Scottish Primate Research Group, Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling, Scotland
Am J Primatol 72:33-47. 2010..Our data suggest that in carefully designed, large enclosures, naturally associating monkeys are able to live harmoniously and are enriched by each other...- Response to novel objects and foraging tasks by common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) female pairsBonaventura Majolo
Scottish Primate Research Group, Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA, Scotland, UK
Lab Anim (NY) 32:32-8. 2003..The results support the use of enrichment devices for captive primates and show that in marmosets, their effectiveness strongly depends on location within the enclosure and the presence of hidden food... 
Evidence from rhesus macaques suggests that male coloration plays a role in female primate mate choiceCorri Waitt
Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA, UK
Proc Biol Sci 270:S144-6. 2003..The duration and direction of gaze were measured to discern visual preferences. Females exhibited preferences for the red versions of male faces. It is proposed that male coloration might provide a cue to male quality...- Refinements in husbandry, care and common procedures for non-human primates: Ninth report of the BVAAWF/FRAME/RSPCA/UFAW Joint Working Group on RefinementM Jennings
Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling FK9 4LA, UK
Lab Anim 43:1-47. 2009..The most commonly used species are the key focus of this resource, but its information and recommendations are generally applicable to other species, provided that relevant individual species characteristics are taken into account... - Perceptual considerations in the use of colored photographic and video stimuli to study nonhuman primate behaviorCorri Waitt
Scottish Primate Research Group, Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling, United Kingdom
Am J Primatol 68:1054-67. 2006..Therefore, the use of these mediums to study behavior is problematic for these species, and should be done with caution... - Cognitive research in zoo-housed chimpanzees: influence of personality and impact on welfareElizabeth S Herrelko
Psychology, School of Natural Sciences, University of Stirling, Stirling, Scotland
Am J Primatol 74:828-40. 2012..Overall, the introduction of a cognitive research program did not compromise welfare, and the chimpanzees' repeated interest and willingness to participate suggests that the research was enriching... - Communicative intentions in wild chimpanzees: persistence and elaboration in gestural signallingAnna Ilona Roberts
Psychology, School of Natural Sciences, University of Stirling, Stirling, FK9 4LA, Scotland, UK
Anim Cogn 16:187-96. 2013..Chimpanzee gestural sequences emerged to achieve specific outcomes; given variability in recipient behaviour following initial gestures, signallers were flexible in their persistence towards these goals... - Leaders of progressions in wild mixed-species troops of saddleback (Saguinus fuscicollis) and mustached tamarins (S. mystax), with emphasis on color vision and sexAndrew C Smith
Scottish Primate Research Group, Department of Psychology, University of Stirling, Stirling, United Kingdom
Am J Primatol 61:145-57. 2003..The notion that all groups contain at least one trichromatic female that leads the troop to feeding trees was not supported... - Long-term patterns of sleeping site use in wild saddleback (Saguinus fuscicollis) and mustached tamarins (S. mystax): effects of foraging, thermoregulation, predation, and resource defense constraintsAndrew C Smith
Department of Life Sciences, Anglia Ruskin University, East Road, Cambridge, UK
Am J Phys Anthropol 134:340-53. 2007..These findings are discussed in light of species ecology, with particular reference to predation risk, which is indicated as the major factor influencing the pattern of sleeping site use in these species... - Training nonhuman primates using positive reinforcement techniquesMark J Prescott
Research Animals Department, Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, West Sussex, England
J Appl Anim Welf Sci 6:157-61. 2003 - Cage use and feeding height preferences of captive common marmosets (Callithrix j. jacchus) in two-tier cagesHannah M Buchanan-Smith
Department of Psychology University of Stirling, Scotland. h.m.buchanan-smith@ stir.ac.uk
J Appl Anim Welf Sci 5:139-49. 2002..Feeding the marmosets in a bowl at the bottom of their cage did not result in greater cage use. On the basis of this study, we recommend positioning captive marmosets' food bowls high in the cage... - Non-random association of opsin alleles in wild groups of red-bellied tamarins (Saguinus labiatus) and maintenance of the colour vision polymorphismAlison K Surridge
School of Biological Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, UK
Biol Lett 1:465-8. 2005..This study also provides the first preliminary evidence that wild trichromatic females may have increased fitness compared with dichromatic counterparts, as measured by breeding success and longevity... - Single-copy nuclear DNA sequences obtained from noninvasively collected primate fecesAlison K Surridge
