SUMMARY:

In Brazil, rescued fauna is kept in federal or state rescue centers (CETAS), where the animals undergo rehabilitation to allow them to recover their health and thus guarantee their return to nature, a legal priority of CETAS, foreseen as the main destination according to the agreement. with current legislation. Capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) are the second most abundant group of primates in CETAS, and they are the only neotropical primates that regularly use tools in the wild. However, the long period in these centers causes a decrease in typical foraging, food handling and object handling behaviors and the emergence of stereotypies in this group. This project aims to apply two feeding rehabilitation methodologies, testing whether there are differences due to the animal's sex, age and personality in performing tasks. 35 animals will be studied, divided into 5 groups and kept under the care of CETAS Paraíba in Cabedelo. The scheduled period is from May 21st to July 21st. The methodology will be applied by testing whether there will be variations in manipulative skills associated with the individual personality, gender and age of the subjects. To test the hypotheses we will use GLMM (Multiple linear regression) which will be selected via AIC (Akaike information criterion) with success and behavioral diversity being the response variables and gender, age and personality axes being the predictor variables. An exchange period at Concordia University is also planned to carry out fractal analysis on behavioral sequence data.
