“…Mean basal adult levels of cortisol reported in the literature for Guyanan females [Coe et al, 1978] are lower than the values reported here; however, levels under ether stress reported in the same paper were higher than levels in the present study (basal levels 103 Mg/dl; ether levels 174 Mg/dl: Coe et al [1978]). This may indicate that the stress to the animals involved in catching and veni puncture was not as great as ether stress.…”

“…This association between high cortisol concentrations and a high frequency of antagonistic events is in agreement with a previous report (Coe et al, 1978). The high fecal cortisol concentrations in this group may be due to the greater number of group subjects and social instability (Creel, 2001).…”

The aim of this investigation was to study the welfare of three captive groups of cotton-top tamarins housed in different zoological parks. Ethological observations were conducted over one year. In addition, fecal samples were collected and the concentrations of glucocorticoids, androgens, and progestagens were measured. Within each group, no significant differences in fecal cortisol concentrations were found between subjects. The fecal concentrations of testosterone and progesterone significantly differed depending on the sexes and ages of the tamarins. A significant association was found among hormone concentrations, exhibit dimensions, and group composition. A highly significant correlation was found between all hormones considered and the space available for each subject. Significant differences in behavioral patterns were observed among groups, including social-individual, affiliativeaggressive, and anogenital-suprapubic scent marking. Correlations between hormone measurements and behaviors were detected. In conclusion, this study confirmed the associations between some behaviors exhibited by these nonhuman primates and both cortisol and testosterone; these data also highlight the role played by progesterone in these behaviors. Keywords: captive management, hormones, stress, Saguinus oedipusAs the issue of nonhuman animal welfare has become increasingly important, many studies have assessed animal well-being in captivity (Candland & Bush, 1995;Kleiman, Allen, Thompson, & Lumpkin, 1992;Maple & Perkins, 1996;Moran & Sorensen, 1984), and zoological facilities now pay close attention to providing species with appropriate environments. Each species has different needs, so it is important to assess the best parameters for managing a given species in captivity to maintain animal health. This topic becomes even more essential when working with species at high risk of extinction and captive individuals who can be reintegrated into the wild. Hershkowitz, 1977), and average size (Ferrari & Ferrari, 1989;Tardif, Richter, & Carson, 1984). However, most of these studies have examined behavioral aspects only and neglected the endocrine component, which is known to be of great importance in maintaining organisms' homeostasis and therefore adaptation to their environments and well-being.Consequently, it is very important to analyze hormone levels, even if their fluctuations are not always easy to understand. The ability to collect physiological and behavioral data ...

“…O cortisol é liberado pela glândula adrenal em resposta a estressores agudos como captura e hemorragia (Coe et al, 1978) e em resposta ao stress de longa duração produzido por interações sociais e ansiedade (Eberhart et al, 1980). Quando um animal está sob condições adversas, os níveis de cortisol podem aumentar até níveis patológicos, podendo inibir a função reprodutiva (Chatterton et al, 1991).…”
