Gestural communication in wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2023 Gestures play a central role in the communication systems of several animal families, including primates. In this study, we provide a first assessment of the gestural systems of a Platyrrhine species, Geoffroy’s spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi).

Relationship quality affects fission decisions in wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) [PDF]
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2018 Fission-fusion dynamics are thought to be mainly a response to differential availability of food resources. However, social factors may also play a role.

Watch out or relax: conspecifics affect vigilance in wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) [PDF]
, 2015 In most animal species, predation risk is considered the main factor affecting vigilance, and an individual is expected to spend less time vigilant in larger than in smaller groups.

Maternal Investment Fosters Male but Not Female Social Interactions with Other Group Members in Immature Wild Spider Monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) [PDF]
Animals, 2023 In several species, individuals form long-lasting social relationships with other group members, which provide them with important fitness benefits. In primates, patterns of social relationships are known to differ between sexes, but little is known ...

Population genetic patterns among social groups of the endangered Central American spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) in a human-dominated landscape. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2013 Spider monkeys (Genus: Ateles) are a widespread Neotropical primate with a highly plastic socioecological strategy. However, the Central American species, Ateles geoffroyi, was recently re-listed as endangered due to the accelerated loss of forest across

Gut microbiota signatures of the three Mexican primate species, including hybrid populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDiversity of the gut microbiota has proven to be related with host physiology, health and behavior, influencing host ecology and evolution. Gut microbial community relationships often recapitulate primate phylogeny, suggesting phylosymbiotic associations.

Acoustic variation of spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) contact calls is related to caller isolation and affects listeners' responses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Group living animals produce vocalizations denominated "contact calls" to maintain contact with out-of-sight group members. These calls have been shown to vary with caller identity and distance to potential listeners. However, it is not clear whether the
