Fruit scent and observer colour vision shape food-selection strategies in wild capuchin monkeys
Nature Communications, 2019 We know little about the relative contributions of visual and olfactory senses for wild, frugivorous mammals. Here, the authors show that in capuchin monkeys, frequency of olfactory evaluation of fruits is higher when scent production increases with ...

Monkey Meltdowns: Do Tantrums Influence Maternal Investment in Bearded Capuchin Monkeys? [PDF]
Developmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 3, May 2026.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.

Behavioural variation and learning across the lifespan in wild white-faced capuchin monkeys [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2020 Natural selection has evidently mediated many species characteristics relevant to the evolution of learning, including longevity, length of the juvenile period, social organization, timing of cognitive and motor development, and age-related shifts in ...

The Multiple Representations of Complex Digit Movements in Primary Motor Cortex Form the Building Blocks for Complex Grip Types in Capuchin Monkeys [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 In the present study, we investigated motor cortex (M1) and a small portion of premotor and parietal cortex using intracortical microstimulation in anesthetized capuchin monkeys.

Myelin characteristics of the corpus callosum in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus [Cebus] apella) across the lifespan [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 The midsagittal area of the corpus callosum (CC) is frequently studied in relation to brain development, connectivity, and function. Here we quantify myelin characteristics from electron microscopy to understand more fully differential patterns of white ...

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2018 In this study, we tested the hypothesis that individual differences in behavioural profiles correlate to differences in stress-related behaviours and hormonal levels in captive brown capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus). Based on a sample of 25 animals,

Xenotransplantation, 2019 Old World non‐human primates (OWNHPs) are used for preclinical pig‐to‐NHP studies. However, like pigs, OWNHPs express Neu5Gc, and therefore do not develop natural anti‐Neu5Gc antibodies.

Do Social Conditions Affect Capuchin Monkeys’ (Cebus apella) Choices in a Quantity Judgment Task?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 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.
