The hamadryas subspecies, which is utilized extensively for laboratory research, has a social structure unique among baboons. Field studies have shown that small one male units are the basic grouping in a complex multi-level social system. A housing design for a research colony of hamadryas baboons was conceived to reflect this unique social organization and related behavioral patterns. The outcome of combining such ethological considerations with practical dictates for housing large laboratory primates has been assessed in terms of reproductive performance, animal health and utilization for research. Various benefits of this approach to cage design for hamadryas baboons are identified in this report.
阿拉伯狒狒亚种被广泛用于实验室研究，其社会结构在狒狒中独一无二。野外研究表明，小型单雄群体是复杂多层次社会系统中的基本群体。为阿拉伯狒狒研究群体设计的圈舍旨在反映这种独特的社会组织和相关行为模式。将这些行为学考量与圈养大型实验室灵长类动物的实际要求相结合的成果，已从繁殖性能、动物健康和研究利用等方面进行了评估。本报告指出了这种阿拉伯狒狒笼舍设计方法的各种益处。
