: The multi-destination foraging array experiment relied exclusively on the voluntary participation of individual monkeys. The experiments themselves are situational and non-invasive. Since the monkeys at the Awajishima Monkey Center are provision-fed by humans on a regular basis, the added food-table arrays in the feeding areas did not alter the existing human–animal dynamics. Additionally, participation did not impact the monkey’s overall balance of wild foraging and human-provisioned food consumption, nor did it change the contact they have with humans. All research was approved by Concordia University’s Animal Research Ethics Committee (protocol number 30009663) and satisfied the requirements for ethical research practice designated by the Awajishima Monkey Center.
