This study examined captive cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) behavior across 3 different exhibits: (a) a rainforest (30.5 m in diameter), where tamarins free-ranged with other species; (b) a caged outdoor exhibit (5 m in diameter); and (c) a caged enclosure, with access indoors (6 x 9m) and outdoors (2.5 x 2.5 m). The study observed tamarins using focal animal scan sampling in 10 min blocks. Scoring was on the percentage of intervals in which they engaged in 12 behaviors. The findings show significant differences in activity, inactivity, and visibility across exhibits and have important implications for reintroduction efforts.
本研究考察了圈养棉顶狨（Saguinus oedipus）在3种不同展区的行为表现：（a）一个热带雨林展区（直径30.5米），棉顶狨在其中与其他物种自由活动；（b）一个室外笼舍展区（直径5米）；以及（c）一个有室内通道（6×9米）和室外通道（2.5×2.5米）的笼舍。该研究采用焦点动物扫描取样法，以10分钟为时间段观察棉顶狨。评分依据它们在12种行为中所花费时间的百分比。研究结果显示，不同展区在活动、不活动和可见性方面存在显著差异，这对重新引入计划具有重要意义。
