Inhibitory control tests in non‐human animals: validity, reliability, and perspectives
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2482-2507, December 2025.ABSTRACT Inhibitory control, the ability to control impulsive or pre‐learned behaviour in order to reach a more rewarding goal, is essential in many aspects of normal life. In non‐human animals, better inhibitory control performances have been associated with a larger brain, better problem‐solving skills, and fitness benefits.

Wood consumption by Geoffroyi's spider monkeys and its role in mineral supplementation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Wood consumption is a rare behavior in frugivorous primates; however, it can be necessary for nutritional balancing as it may provide macro and/or micronutrients that are scarce in the most frequently eaten items (fruits).

The role of sucrose and sensory systems in fruit selection and consumption of Ateles geoffroyi in Yucatan, Mexico [PDF]
Our aim was to evaluate the role of sucrose and the role of smell, taste and touch in the selection and consumption of fruit in wild spider monkeys. We recorded the feeding bouts of 14 adults for 9 mo in the Otoch Ma’ax Yetel Kooh Reserve, Punta Laguna ...

No short-term contingency between grooming and food tolerance in Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) [PDF]
, 2015 The exchange services such as allo-grooming, allo-preening, food tolerance and agonistic support has been observed in a range of species. Two proximate mechanisms have been proposed to explain the exchanges of services in animals.

Individual variation in animal communication: from species averages to unique voices
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2625-2640, December 2025.ABSTRACT The comparative study of communicative behaviour in non‐human animals, especially primates, has yielded crucial insights into the evolution of human language. This research, mostly focused on the species and population level, has improved our understanding of the various socio‐ecological factors that shape communication systems.

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Conservation education activities employing multimodal knowledge transmission, including art‐based workshops, are a multidisciplinary tool that can be used to raise awareness of the natural environment in which we live. In this study, we implemented a conservation education workshop that combined different forms of knowledge transmission, to ...

Watch out or relax: conspecifics affect vigilance in wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) [PDF]
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.
