Scientific approaches to enrichment and stereotypies in zoo animals: what's been done and where should we go next? (2005, background): “Authors should always acknowledge the limitation of individual-animal statistics, however, by stating clearly in the abstract and elsewhere that they cannot generalize to the larger population and can only make claims to the effects for the specific subjects in the study [e.g., Owen et al., 2004 ].”
Sources of stress in captivity (2007, background): “, 1997) and agitation behaviors in pandas (Owen et al., 2004).”
Environmental enrichment as a strategy for mitigating stereotypies in zoo animals: a literature review and meta-analysis. (2006, background): “Humans, nearby predator species (e.g. Carlstead et al., 1993), confinement with potentially aggressive conspecifics (Wielebnowski et al., 2002a), and ambient noise levels (Owen et al., 2004) all cause signs of stress.”
