Taste-induced facial responses in black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)
Taste-induced facial expressions are thought to reflect the hedonic valence of an animal's gustatory experience. We therefore assessed taste-induced facial responses in six black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) to water, sucrose, caffeine, citric acid and aspartame, representing the taste qualities sweet, bitter, and sour, respectively.

As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

A New Species of Dipetalonema (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae) from Ateles chamek from the Beni of Bolivia [PDF]
We describe a new species of Dipetalonema occurring in the body cavity of Ateles chamek (Humboldt, 1812) from north-central Bolivia. Morphologic characters serving to separate Dipetalonema yatesi n. sp.

Do Fruit Nutrients Affect Subgrouping Patterns in Wild Spider Monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)? [PDF]
One of the main costs of group living is feeding competition. Fission–fusion dynamics are thought to be a strategy to avoid overt competition for food resources.

The effect of roads on spider monkeys' home range and mobility in a heterogeneous regenerating forest [PDF]
Arboreal fauna living in tropical ecosystems may be particularly affected by roads given their dependency on forest cover and the high vulnerability of such ecosystems to changes. Over a period of 4 yr, we followed subgroups of spider monkeys living in a

Abstract Rapid, accurate assessment of arboreal vertebrates in tropical forests remains a bottleneck for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring, due to the challenges and effort associated with traditional survey methods. To bridge this gap, arboreal camera‐trapping is emerging as a promising way to observe otherwise elusive species, opening new avenues ...

You are Not Welcome: Social Exchanges between Female Spider Monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) [PDF]
Group living leads to competition for food between group members. Two types of intragroup food competition may occur: scramble competition, in which all group members use the same resource, such that feeding opportunities are equal for everyone; and ...

Optimal random search, fractional dynamics and fractional calculus
What is the most efficient search strategy for the random located target sites subject to the physical and biological constraints? Previous results suggested the L\'evy flight is the best option to characterize this optimal problem, however, which ...
