Frequency of Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella nigritus) from an ecological station in the State of São Paulo, Brazil

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2013
Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite protozoan. A large percentage of animals presents specific antibodies caused by a previous exposition, resulting in a chronic infection. Felides are the

How Capuchin Monkeys Use Their Semi-Prehensile Tails

Current Science, 2022
Among primates, prehensile/semi-prehensile tails have evolved independently in the families Atelidae and Cebidae of the infraorder Platyrrhini (Neotropical monkeys). They facilitate maintaining stability during locomotion on thin, flexible branches and while reaching for food on challenging substrates.

Pigeons, portals, and Pacman: Insightful problem solving and navigation using a touchscreen video game

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Volume 125, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Video games have been used in several studies to investigate problem solving. We present empirical findings from a redesigned touchscreen navigation “grid‐world” procedure resembling the classic video game PacMan (hereafter, “pacman”) played by pigeons. Our objective was to develop a procedure to study insight, similar to that of Epstein et al.

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.

A Naturalistic Theory of (In)justice: How Neurophysiology and Metabolic Energy Ground the Perception of Injustice

Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Across different domains, justice is considered either from a perspective concerning mind‐independent features of a situation or from a perspective related to mind‐dependent motives, traits or emotions. Although these approaches have generated valuable insights, they remain largely disconnected from each other.

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

The direct perception hypothesis: perceiving the intention of another’s action hinders its precise imitation [PDF]

, 2014
We argue that imitation is a learning response to unintelligible actions, especially to social conventions. Various strands of evidence are converging on this conclusion, but further progress has been hampered by an outdated theory of perceptual ...

A novel nonsense mutation in the tyrosinase gene is related to the albinism in a capuchin monkey (Sapajus apella)

BMC Genetics, 2017
Background Oculocutaneous Albinism (OCA) is an autosomal recessive inherited condition that affects the pigmentation of eyes, hair and skin. The OCA phenotype may be caused by mutations in the tyrosinase gene (TYR), which expresses the tyrosinase enzyme ...
