O forrageamento é uma das principais atividades de primatas neotropicais em ambiente natural e consome grande parte do tempo diário. No ambiente de vida livre os macacos-prego podem gastar até 80% do seu tempo se deslocando e forrageando. No cativeiro, porém, não é necessário nenhum esforço dos animais para encontrar e preparar o alimento para o consumo. Portanto, a oportunidade de expressar atividades de forrageio fica praticamente excluída. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi criar e avaliar a efetividade de uma ferramenta de enriquecimento ambiental denominada de “painel de cuia”, com a função de dificultar o acesso dos macacos-prego ao alimento, aumentando o tempo para alcançar o alimento. As observações foram realizadas em quatro contextos diferentes, sendo um na parte da manhã e três pela parte, utilizando o método de animal focal. As durações relativas de cada evento comportamental foram comparadas na ausência e presença do enriquecimento. Foi encontrado que o cuieiro estendeu o tempo de forrageamento, funcionado como instrumento de enriquecimento ambiental. Foi observado também uma considerável redução nos comportamentos anormais, ao passo que a manipulação e a procura por alimento consumiram muito mais tempo.

Quando colocamos um animal em cativeiro, limitamos suas ações, assumindo o controle de boa parte das variáveis que atuam sobre um ambiente restrito. Essas variáveis, apesar de suprirem as necessidades básicas dos animais, tem o potencial de ser extremamente previsíveis e, por conseguinte, estressantes. Enriquecimento ambiental pode ser um dos mais importantes avanços na área de saúde animal em cativeiro nos últimos tempos, elevando os parâmetros psicológicos e fisiológicos de bem-estar, suprimidos pelo cativeiro. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi criar e verificar a efetividade de um equipamento de enriquecimento ambiental denominado “roleta”, com a função de minimizar os efeitos danosos do cativeiro a dois macacos-prego, ao aumentar o tempo dedicado às atividades de forrageamento, aproximando seu orçamento de atividades àquele pertinente aos animais em vida livre. As observações foram realizadas pelo método de amostragem instantânea, em cinco etapas: 1) pré-intervenção, 2) D5, 3) D10, 4) D15 e 5) pós-intervenção, sendo, posteriormente, comparadas longitudinalmente. Os dados demonstram a efetividade da roleta como item enriquecedor do ambiente, uma vez que a frequência de comportamentos associados à exploração e deslocamento sofreu incremento ao longo das intervenções – com exceção à D10, que oportunamente será reavaliada – mantendo-se frequência média de forrageamento próxima ao esperado em animais de vida livre (Rímoli, 2001) ainda nas observações pós-intervenção, em detrimento da frequência de comportamentos considerados anormais ou estereotipados.

This work describes the foraging techniques, body positions and behavior of free-ranging Ingram's squirrel Guerlinguetus ingrami Thomas, 1901 in a region of the Araucaria moist forest, in the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil. The animals were observed using the all occurrence sampling method with the aid of binoculars and a digital camcorder. All behaviors were described in diagrams and an ethogram. We recorded five basic body positions, 24 behaviors, two food choices, and three feeding strategies utilized to open fruits of Syagrus romanzoffiana (Cham.), the main food source of Ingram's squirrels. We also observed a variance in the animals' stance, which is possibly influenced by predation risk, and discuss the causes of some behaviors.

Introduction: Aging is part of the natural human way. Aging is also synonymous with continuous gain experience. Aging, especially in our culture, unfortunately, can also be synonymous with exclusion, but not in relation to the UNATI Marília SP Open University of the Third Age, which has as main objective the integration through social interaction in academia, transforming experience and knowledge in quality of life in a constant learning. Objective: This article aims to report an investigation into the reasons attributed to the importance of an elderly attending the Open University of the Third Age in the vision of the elderly who attend. Material and Method: Bring a profile of the elderly by gender, age, marital status, education level, profession, financial aspects. The sample consisted of 52 elderly and the sampling method was convenience. Results: The results showed that the greater importance attached to participation was to gain more knowledge and be updated followed by meeting new people and making new friends, exercising the memory, healthy and interestingly filling free time and to improve quality of life. The participation of the elderly caused possibilities of making new friends, improvement in depression and motivation to acquire new knowledge. Conclusion: We conclude that the Open University of the Third Age can contribute to improvement of quality of life especially with regard to social interaction and cognitive aspect.

Currently zoos and management centers are valuable tools in the maintenance and study of various species. Studies of behavior of captive animals contribute to the improvement of management techniques and the well - being of themselves, encouraging captive breeding and reintroduction also to the natural environment . One of the ways to increase the levels of well-being is the use of environmental enrichment techniques that provide necessary incentives for the welfare of both physical and psychological captive animal . The aim of this study was to identify the types, frequencies and intensities of behavior displayed by three individuals of the species Galictis cuja, belonging to the family Mustelidae and popularly known as lesser grisson , which are captives in municipal zoo in Piracicaba , SP . In addition to evaluating the influence of environmental enrichment techniques on these behavioral parameters. The animals had their behaviors recorded in ethograms through the focal sampling method , 40 hours per person , totaling 120 hours of observation . Were introduced four environmental enrichment techniques related to physical environment, nutrition , perception and cognitive stimulation . At the end, the results of observations before and after the introduction of enrichment techniques were compared and it was possible to observe significant changes in behavior such as run , walk and scratching . The animals were more active and spent longer visible during the day, the enrichment also increased the frequency of social behaviors and the end of the work occurred even attempted copulation , thus showing that the enrichment exerted a positive influence on the behavioral patterns of lesser grisson (Galictis cuja)

Six species of the genus Callithrix can be found across the Atlantic Forest extension, being the Callithrix geoffroyi, Geoffroy`s marmoset, the least studied species. The objective of this study is to investigate the behavioral aspects of the species in captivity, and how the environmental enrichment techniques influence those behaviors. To this end, we have studied three specimens of C. geoffroyi, in captivity at Municipal Zoo of Piracicaba, São Paulo. The enclosure includes a 37m2 with under masonry, concrete platforms with external deep, trunks, a floor of grass and soil, e grid in their other three sides. The sampling method was focal per time interval, with records every 30 seconds in sessions of 30 minutes, totaling 30 hours for each animal, which were distributed in a baseline phase, an environmental enrichment phase and post-enrichment phase (n = 3660 records in each phase). The twelve enrichment techniques were applied: the physical environment (branches for perches and hoses fabrics for bedding and vanishing points), cognitive (radio, mirror, puzzle food) and food (insects, flowers and eggs hidden, wrapped). Initially, to determine the period of greatest activity of marmosets, we investigated the pattern of activity for three days (9:00 am to 17:00 pm) consecutively at intervals of 15 minutes, recording the number of active and inactive individuals. The 495 records signaled greater activity in the morning, then selected period for the completion of this work. The ethogram comprised 16 behaviors. The inactivity was the predominant phase behavior baseline and post-enrichment with a significant decrease (h=8,62, p <0.01) in the enrichment phase, and a significant increase in the post enrichment (h=18,15, p <0.001). The same was seen for the use of substrate (grid and ground vs. Trunk and concrete, h=5,09, p <0.001 and h=3,98, p <0.05)... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
