Modeling the Searching Behavior of Social Monkeys
We discuss various features of the trajectories of spider monkeys looking for food in a tropical forest, as observed recently in an extensive {\it in situ} study. Some of the features observed can be interpreted as the result of social interactions.

Like Father, like son: assessment of the morphological affinities of a.l. 288-1 (a. afarensis), sts 7 (a. africanus) and omo 119-73-2718 (australopithecus sp.) through a three-dimensional shape analysis of the shoulder joint [PDF]
The postcranial evidence for the Australopithecus genus indicates that australopiths were able bipeds; however, the morphology of the forelimbs and particularly that of the shoulder girdle suggests that they were partially adapted to an arboreal ...

Ecology, diet, and social patterning in Old and New World primates [PDF]
For a given primate species, the groups are more or less important not only in relation to their biomass and available food but also according to particular conditions of the environment (for example scattering of vegetal food species).

During a nine month field study, we assess the ability of spider (Ateles geoffroyi) and howler (Alouatta pigra) monkeys to cross a large Mesoamerican river, and if this behavior is related to deforestation and/or human population size on the disturbed ...

Prehensile Tail Use in Mantled Howler Monkeys (Alouatta palliata) and White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus capucinus) [PDF]
The prehensile tail, present in five platyrrhine genera, has evolved in parallel in Ateles, Lagothrix, Brachyteles, and Alouatta, comprising the atelines, and Cebus.

New World monkeys: distribution and origin of South American monkeys [PDF]
Majmuni Novog svijeta (Platyrrhini) primati su koji žive u tropskim šumama Južne i Srednje Amerike. Od majmuna Starog svijeta (Catarrhini) razlikuju se anatomijom i načinom života. Smatra se da su se ove dvije linije majmuna odvojile prije oko 35 mil.

Variation in ligand responses of the bitter taste receptors TAS2R1 and TAS2R4 among New World monkeys. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: New World monkeys (NWMs) are unique in that they exhibit remarkable interspecific variation in color vision and feeding behavior, making them an excellent model for studying sensory ecology.

Why do many animals move with a predominance of roughly forward directions? [PDF]
Animal movements can influence their ecology and demographics. Animal movements are often characterized by path structures with directional persistence.
