Eye preferences in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella) [PDF]
This study explored whether capuchin monkey eye preferences differ systematically in response to stimuli of positive and negative valence. The ‘valence hypothesis’ proposes that the right hemisphere is more dominant for negative emotional processing and the left hemisphere is more dominant for positive emotional processing. Visual information from each

Hominoid‐specific calretinin‐immunopositivity of the optic radiation (geniculocalcarine tract)
Calretinin‐immunostained coronal section through the primary (V1) and extrastriate (ExSt) cortex of the lar gibbon. Note that the optic radiation (OR) is strongly calretinin‐immunoreactive. This calretinin‐immunopositivity of the OR distinguishes the Hominoidea from other primates in terms of the neurochemistry of the OR.

Development of curative therapies for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection will likely require new animal models. Here, we evaluate HBV infection in squirrel monkeys based on the high‐sequence homology of the HBV receptor, Na+/taurocholate co ...

Variation in grouping patterns, mating systems and social structure: what socio-ecological models attempt to explain [PDF]
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 ...

Monkey Meltdowns: Do Tantrums Influence Maternal Investment in Bearded Capuchin Monkeys?
ABSTRACT Tantrums are widely discussed in human development literature and are typically defined as displays of frustration or anger. In behavioral ecology, they are hypothesized to function as a strategy for securing greater maternal investment. Infant primates often exhibit tantrums when their attempts to obtain maternal care are rejected.

The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), a top predator of Neotropical forests, faces severe threats across its range, including in the Atlantic Forest. Using 50 years of occurrence records, including nests and multiple age classes, we document the species' persistence in one of its last reproductive refuges while revealing ongoing human–wildlife conflicts ...

Do Social Conditions Affect Capuchin Monkeys’ (Cebus apella) Choices in a Quantity Judgment Task?
Beran et al. (2012) reported that capuchin monkeys closely matched the performance of humans in a quantity judgment test in which information was incomplete but a judgment still had to be made.

Decolonizing the capuchin monkey?
This article explores the colonial dimensions of Salzburg’s cultural heritage by examining the early modern Cabinet of Art and Curiosities in the former residence of the prince-archbishops. The collection serves as a case study tracing historical global entanglements of European colonialism and to critically assess museal practices.

In this study, we took advantage of the largest camera trap‐based monitoring project in Africa, Snapshot Safari and analyzed 10,000 camera trap detections from three sites in South Africa and one site in Tanzania to test whether baboons exhibit species‐specific reactive avoidance in response to the presence of predators. ABSTRACT Predators exert strong
