Primatological research in zoos is increasing globally. Such research allows scientists to study primate biology, behavior, and cognition while helping to advance the welfare of captive primates. Moreover, zoos welcome millions of visitors annually, which creates unique opportunities for public engagement with this research. Reflecting the importance of zoos in the field of primatology, the articles in this special issue showcase the range of primatological research currently being conducted in zoos around the world. With this special issue, I have chosen to focus on research examining primate behavior and cognition, addressing both basic and applied questions. The articles included in this special issue also highlight the array of technologies and methods being used to study zoo-housed primates. While zoos house a variety of primate species, potentially enabling the testing of under-studied species or widescale comparative research, great apes are disproportionately represented in current zoo-based research. Thus, while an interest in conducting research with primates in zoos continues to grow, there are still opportunities to increase the breadth and diversity of this study.

动物园灵长类动物学：研究行为、认知和福利

动物园的灵长类动物研究在全球范围内不断增加。此类研究使科学家能够研究灵长类动物的生物学、行为和认知，同时有助于提高圈养灵长类动物的福利。此外，动物园每年接待数百万游客，这为公众参与这项研究创造了独特的机会。为了反映动物园在灵长类动物学领域的重要性，本期特刊中的文章展示了目前在世界各地的动物园中进行的灵长类动物学研究的范围。对于这个特刊，我选择专注于研究灵长类动物的行为和认知，解决基本和应用问题。本期特刊中的文章还重点介绍了用于研究动物园饲养的灵长类动物的一系列技术和方法。虽然动物园饲养着各种灵长类动物，类人猿有可能对未被充分研究的物种进行测试或进行大规模比较研究，因此在当前基于动物园的研究中所占比例过高。因此，虽然对在动物园中对灵长类动物进行研究的兴趣持续增长，但仍有机会增加这项研究的广度和多样性。
