In-group conformity sustains different foraging traditions in capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Decades of research have revealed rich cultural repertoires encompassing multiple traditions in wild great apes, a picture crucially complemented by experimental simulations with captive apes.

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 ...

Anatomical analysis of thumb opponency movement in the capuchin monkey (Sapajus sp). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Capuchin monkeys present a wide variety of manipulatory skills and make routine use of tools both in captivity and in the wild. Efficient handling of objects in this genus has led several investigators to assume near-human thumb movements despite the ...

Postconflict Behaviour in Brown Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus apella) [PDF]
Folia Primatologica, 2009 Postconflict affiliation has been mostly studied in Old World primates, and we still lack comparative research to understand completely the functional value of reconciliation. Cebus species display great variability in social characteristics, thereby providing a great opportunity for comparative studies.
