Individual differences in zoo-housed squirrel monkeys’ (Saimiri sciureus) reactions to visitors, research participation, and personality ratings [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding individual differences in captive squirrel monkeys is a topic of importance both for improving welfare by catering to individual needs, and for better understanding the results and implications of behavioral research.

Are capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) inequity averse? [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006 It has been reported that capuchin monkeys reject a less preferred food (LPF) when they see a partner capuchin receive a more preferred food (PF) for performing the same task. This behaviour was taken as evidence of ‘inequity aversion’, but an alternative hypothesis is that capuchins reject the LPF because of the mere presence of the PF. We tested this

Variation in grouping patterns, mating systems and social structure: what socio-ecological models attempt to explain [PDF]
, 2013 Socio-ecological models aim to predict the variation in social systems based on a limited number of ecological parameters. Since the 1960s, the original model has taken two paths: one relating to grouping patterns and mating systems and one relating to ...

Functionally referential signals: a promising paradigm whose time has passed [PDF]
, 2012 Finding the evolutionary origins of human language in the communication systems of our closest living relatives has, for the last several decades, been a major goal of many in the field of animal communication generally and primate communication ...

Same/different concept learning by capuchin monkeys in matching-to-sample tasks.
PLoS ONE, 2011 The ability to understand similarities and analogies is a fundamental aspect of human advanced cognition. Although subject of considerable research in comparative cognition, the extent to which nonhuman species are capable of analogical reasoning is ...

Tactile information improves visual object discrimination in kea, Nestor notabilis, and capuchin monkeys, Sapajus spp. [PDF]
, 2018 In comparative visual cognition research, the influence of information acquired by nonvisual senses has received little attention. Systematic studies focusing on how the integration of information from sight and touch can affect animal perception are ...

Capuchin monkeys are sensitive to others' welfare [PDF]
Current 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 ...

Proximate factors underpinning receiver responses to deceptive false alarm calls in wild tufted capuchin monkeys: is it counterdeception? [PDF]
, 2012 Previous research demonstrates that tufted capuchin monkeys use terrestrial predator alarm calls in a functionally deceptive manner to distract conspecifics when feeding on contestable resources, although the success of this tactic is limited because ...

Renal artery in tufted capuchin monkey: structure and morphometry
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2018 The objective was to describe the structure of the renal artery in capuchin monkey at the level of the proximal and distal arterial segments. Morphometric analysis was performed referring to the thickness and quantification of tissue elements of the ...

Capuchin Monkeys Alternate Play and Reward in a Dual Computerized Task [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2015 Many animals cooperate with one another to achieve outcomes that they could not obtain on their own. One form of cooperation that has received much attention but little empirical support from experimental studies is reciprocity, leaving open the question
