Evaluating the Impact of Synthesised Scent Enrichment on Behavioural and Endocrine Responses in Captive Alaotran Gentle Lemurs (<i>Hapalemur alaotrensis</i>)

Evaluating the Impact of Synthesised Scent Enrichment on Behavioural and Endocrine Responses in Captive Alaotran Gentle Lemurs (<i>Hapalemur alaotrensis</i>)

The Alaotran gentle lemur (<i>Hapalemur alaotrensis</i>) is one of the world’s most endangered primates and shows low success rates in captive breeding programmes. This study tested biologically relevant scent enrichment using two synthesised mixtures likely to convey information about f...
