Handbook of Primate Behavioral Management (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Schapiro, Steven J.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Handbook of Primate Behavioral Management (HPBM) fills a void in the scientific literature, providing those who work with nonhuman primates (NHP) with a centralized reference for many issues related to the care and management of captive nonhuman primates. While there are numerous publications scattered throughout the literature that deal with the behavioral management of NHP, no reference resource currently exists. Organized into four complementary, yet non-repetitive sections, the HPBM addresses content issues, implementation issues, genera-specific issues, and technology-related issues involved in the behavioral management of NHP.
