Bearded capuchin monkeys as a model for Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The absence of a natural animal model is one of the main challenges in Alzheimer’s disease research. Despite the challenges of using nonhuman primates in studies, these animals can bridge mouse models and humans, as nonhuman primates are phylogenetically

The shape of lipsmacking: socio-emotional regulation in bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) [PDF]

Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2023
Capuchin monkeys have rich social relationships and from very young ages they participate in complex interactions with members of their group. Lipsmacking behaviour, which involves at least two individuals in socially mediated interactions, may tell ...

Wild capuchin monkeys use stones and sticks to access underground food [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Primates employ different tools and techniques to overcome the challenges of obtaining underground food resources. Humans and chimpanzees are known to tackle this problem with stick tools and one population of capuchin monkeys habitually uses stone tools.

The basal area explains the abundance of stone tool sites reused by blonde capuchin monkeys [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Behavioural adaptability in primates is widely known. However, the role of local landscape metrics on the use of stone tool sites remains poorly understood. Therefore, we tested whether the distance from water sources, the availability of edible nuts and

Fecal bacterial communities of wild black capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus) from the Atlantic Forest biome in Southern Brazil are divergent from those of other non-human primates

Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2021
Gut microbiota are influenced by factors such as diet, habitat, and social contact, which directly affect the host's health. Studies related to gut microbiota in non-human primates are increasing worldwide.

The genomics of ecological flexibility, large brains, and long lives in capuchin monkeys revealed with fecalFACS [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021
Significance Surviving challenging environments, living long lives, and engaging in complex cognitive processes are hallmark human characteristics.

Revisiting the fourth dimension of tool use: how objects become tools for capuchin monkeys [PDF]

Evol Hum Sci, 2021
Abstract Culture allows humans to adapt to a diversity of contexts. Participatory experience in technical activities and activity with artefacts provide the basis for learning traditional technical skills. Some populations of non-human animals use tools.

Sources of Variation in Fecal Haptoglobin in a Population of Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus imitator) [PDF]

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.
Fecal haptoglobin values show significant seasonal variation in wild capuchin monkeys. Values are highest, and most variable in the early‐mid dry season, when fruit is typically scarce and water sources are standing pools, which can accumulate pathogens.

Can I Have a Bite? The Influence of Infant Begging on Food Sharing in Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus Libidinosus) [PDF]

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.
Food sharing between mother and offspring in capuchin monkeys is a response to the infant's begging. Infants solicit more frequently high‐quality and hard‐to‐process foods and they are more likely to succeed when they are older and if the food item is not a lizard. ABSTRACT In primates, food sharing from mothers to infants may serve two main functions:

Peek a boo! Information seeking about food and functionality in capuchin monkeys [PDF]

Animal Cognition
The ability to be aware of your own knowledge state (metacognition) can be investigated by examining an individual’s information-seeking behaviour. Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) perform strategic searches for food and tools.
