Abstract
Polyspecific (or heterospecific or mixed-species) groups are quite common among animals and vary greatly in their frequency, function, structure, and duration. The interactions between species may be very dynamic or passive with no apparent direct interactions. In the wild polyspecific groups are driven together by foraging and predation pressures; in captivity, mixed-species groups can be more stimulating for the animals. This paper examines three mixed-primate exhibits at the Lincoln Park Zoo over a 12-week period. One of these exhibits was fortuitously in the process of gaining a third species and so comparative data of before, during, and after stages were used for an in-depth analysis. Results show that some species, in this case howling monkeys, are little affected by the presence or absence of another species, while others, in this case sakis, are greatly impacted.
