Manejo de primates en cautiverio: interpretación de marcadores etológicos de adaptación en Cebus libidinosus juvenilesKeywords: cebus libidinosus, captivity, ethological markers. Abstract: the primates maintained in captivity, highlight the need to encourage their natural behavior and promote their welfare. in this paper we describe the changes in the ethological markers in cebus libidinosus (cli) juvenile (1 male and 2 females) kept in captivity (ecas, berazategui, argentine), under two housing conditions. we used scan sampling. we evaluated the behavior "stereotyped locomotion". the total observing time was 290 hours. stereotyped locomotion level decrease and the social hierarchy was modified. cli maintained in captivity shows: an increase in the behavior of the physical environment and social interaction after the change of enclosure and frequency of stereotyped locomotion was associated with maintenance. because the social status of the species of primates, maintaining in groups formed according to their social structure in the wild, resulting in a greater welfare benefit that changes in the physical conditions of housing.
