Personality traits modulate stress responses after enclosure change of captive capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus)

Husbandry procedures may cause behavioral and physiological changes to animals living in captivity. However, an individual’s reaction is not uniform and may be related to different coping strategies. In this study, we analyzed whether and how 12 adult captive capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) v...

In this study, we analyzed whether and how 12 adult captive capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) varying in four personality axes (‘Feeding’, ‘Sociability’, ‘Exploration’, and ‘Activity’) differed in their stress responses to an enclosure change.

The link between exploration and resilience to acute stress was less clear: more exploratory individuals showed an increase in FGM levels during the first week of enclosure change, while the less exploratory ones showed a later increase, during the second-week post-enclosure change, suggesting a lesser capacity to recover from stressful stimuli in these individuals. The results presented in this study build on growing literature showing that animals differ in their behavioral profiles and that these differences relate to resilience to environmental disturbances, which may impact individual survival and reproduction, resulting in less genetic diversity of captive colonies and increased issues related to research replicability.
