Key features:Offers chapters by renowned experts which are comprised of three subunits: a theoretical discussion of the content area a description of the methods employed to address the content area and finally and most importantly a discussion of the ways that relevant aspects of the content area can be easily employed/adapted to enhance the behavioral management of NHPsProvides case studies that highlight the areas of expertise of the authors and emphasize ‘success stories’ that can be used to develop behavioral management strategies and build behavioral management programsPresents ‘Genera-specific’ chapters which focus on behavioral management strategies that typically are successfully employed with particular taxa of NHPsIncludes a novel pioneering ‘Product/services’ section that provides the producers of important technologies equipment and services with an opportunity to highlight the ways in which their products enhance the ability of their clients to manage the behavior of NHPs Illustrated with full color images and drawings throughout. The Handbook of Primate Behavioral Management (HPBM) fills a void in the scientific literature providing those who work with nonhuman primates (NHPs) with a centralized reference for many issues related to the care and behavioral management of captive nonhuman primates. While there are numerous publications scattered throughout the literature that deal with the behavioral management of NHPs this comprehensive handbook is the first single-source reference to summarize and synthesize this information. The HPBM is organized into six complementary parts starting with an introductory section. The book then provides in-depth coverage of content issues applications and implementation genera-specific chapters technology-related questions involved in the behavioral management of NHPs and a concluding section. Primate behavioral management is a topic that has recently generated a considerable number of primary publications in the scientific literature mostly with an applied focus. Similarly there are many primary publications currently available that address more basic issues related to the understanding of primate behavior. One of the principal goals of the HPBM is to highlight and synthesize basic science advances that can be adapted and applied to enhance the behavioral management of captive NHPs.
