Abstract

A study selected 5 cotton-top tamarins (Saguinus oedipus) located at the Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville, Texas, for a food preference assessment. The study used a paired-choice procedure across 7 different food items for all 5 tamarins. Preferences for the food items across all the tamarins varied, although general trends were noted as well. This article discusses the benefits of using paired-choice preference assessments in zoo settings.

摘要

一项研究选取了位于得克萨斯州盖恩斯维尔市弗兰克·巴克动物园的5只棉顶狨猴（伶猴属）进行食物偏好评估。该研究对所有5只狨猴采用了针对7种不同食物的成对选择程序。所有狨猴对食物的偏好各不相同，不过也发现了一些总体趋势。本文讨论了在动物园环境中使用成对选择偏好评估的益处。
