Bimanual Coordination and Right-Hand Bias in Extractive Foraging by Wild Sapajus libidinosus. [PDF]

open access: yesAm J Primatol
Wild Sapajus libidinosus exhibit a significant preference at the population level for using their right‐hand fingers to extract nut kernels when employing bimanual coordination. ABSTRACT Bimanual coordination is considered a crucial factor in the evolution of manual lateralization.

ON LOSS AVERSION IN CAPUCHIN MONKEYS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2008
Chen, Lakshminarayanan, and Santos (2006) claim to show in three choice experiments that monkeys react rationally to price and wealth shocks, but, when faced with gambles, display hallmark, human‐like biases that include loss aversion. We present three experiments with monkeys and humans consistent with a reinterpretation of their data that attributes ...

Primate richness and abundance is driven by both forest structure and conservation scenario in Costa Rica.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Variation in tropical forest management directly affects biodiversity and provisioning of ecosystem services on a global scale, thus it is necessary to compare forests under different conservation approaches such as protected areas, payments for ...

Endowment effect in capuchin monkeys [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008
In humans, the capacity for economically rational choice is constrained by a variety of preference biases: humans evaluate gambles relative to arbitrary reference points; weigh losses heavier than equally sized gains; and demand a higher price for owned goods than for equally preferred goods that are not yet owned.

Identification of multiple TAR DNA binding protein retropseudogene lineages during the evolution of primates

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The TAR DNA Binding Protein (TARDBP) gene has become relevant after the discovery of its several pathogenic mutations. The lack of evolutionary history is in contrast to the amount of studies found in the literature.

Capuchin monkeys are sensitive to others' welfare [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2008
SummaryHumans demonstrate altruistic behaviors in a variety of contexts [1,2], but there is growing experimental evidence that our closest living primate relative, the chimpanzee, does not always share our human prosocial tendencies [3,4]. Although chimpanzees behave cooperatively in some contexts, there is growing evidence that chimpanzees are ...

Cebus apella (Primata: Cebidae) as a new host for Fonsecalges johnjadini (Acari: Psoroptidae, Cebalginae) with a description of anatomopathological aspects

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
Mites collected from the auditory canal of Cebus apella (capuchin monkey), family Cebidae, were identified as Fonsecalges johnjadini (Psoroptidae, Cebalginae). It is the first record of this parasite from this monkey. This paper emphasizes the importance
