American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 2025.Results of redundancy analysis and variation partitioning reveal that phylogeny influences quadrupedal kinematics more strongly than do substrate characteristics in platyrrhines moving in their natural habitat. Callitrichines are maximally divergent from other taxa due to their preference for asymmetrical gaits, higher speeds and higher stride ...

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 1, January 2025.Photo by Nicholas Chapoy. Females and their new infants are of great interest to group members in white‐faced capuchins. ABSTRACT In group‐living primates, male investment in infants is highly variable. Previous research on polygynandrous primates found that male care of infants, whether direct or indirect, may be a means to increase offspring survival,
