Research on keeper-animal interactions in zoos has received very little attention, with only a few studies attempting to evaluate this relationship.
“In comparison to the research that has been conducted in the domestic animal industries, research on keeper–animal interactions in zoos has received very little attention [34], with only a few studies attempting to evaluate this relationship [35,36,37,38,39,40].”

Gorillas and chimpanzees showed less self-directed behaviour but more agonistic behaviour in unstructured sessions consisting of one or more positive keeper interactions.
“For example, Chelluri et al. [36] found that gorillas and chimpanzees showed less self-directed behaviour but more agonistic behaviour in unstructured sessions consisting of one or more positive keeper interactions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
