Environmental Enrichment Information Resources for Laboratory Animals: Subject Index

Note:
The index for the publication was generated primarily from the descriptors that accompany each entry. In some instances, index words may have been taken from the title. Because people are more likely to be interested in a particular animal, indexes were generated for each species or class covered. The number associated with each index term corresponds to the printed page number on which the index term can be found. Although the page numbers referenced in this index refer to the original printed publication, the subject terms may be helpful when searching text in the electronic version. Each subhead also is linked to the chapter and bibliography related to that topic.
