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).

Linearly Converging Quasi Branch and Bound Algorithms for Global Rigid Registration
, 2019 In recent years, several branch-and-bound (BnB) algorithms have been proposed to globally optimize rigid registration problems. In this paper, we suggest a general framework to improve upon the BnB approach, which we name Quasi BnB.

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT In stark contrast to our own highly plastic communicative abilities, nonhuman primate vocalizations were historically considered fixed and innate, with very little ability to learn or modify vocal signals. However, recent studies indicate that primate vocalizations do show evidence of developmental plasticity, most notably in their context and

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 ...

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2025.In a free‐ranging colony of domestic cats, individuals engaged in affiliative but not agonistic behaviors in a selective manner. The distribution of food resources but not relatedness influenced affiliative interactions between dyads of cats. When food was provided at feeding stations, there was a similar distribution of affiliative interactions among ...

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.

Balancing ecotourism and wildlife management through a conservation behavior approach
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.We surveyed ecologists, conservationists, and ecotourism professionals to investigate consequences of ecotourism on animal behavior. We highlight four main behavioral themes and solutions for engendering more sustainable ecotourism that mitigates behavioral impacts.
