Postconflict Behaviour in Brown Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus apella) [PDF]
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.

A phylogenomic perspective on the robust capuchin monkey (Sapajus) radiation : first evidence for extensive population admixture across South America [PDF]
Phylogenetic relationships amongst the robust capuchin monkeys (genus Sapajus) are poorly understood. Morphology-based taxonomies have recognized anywhere from one to twelve different species.

Preliminary study to investigate the Delboeuf illusion in ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta): Methodological challenges [PDF]
Visual illusions are commonly used in animal cognition studies to compare visual perception among vertebrates. To date, researchers have focused their attention mainly on birds and mammals, especially apes and monkeys, but no study has investigated ...

Rates of agonism among female primates: a cross-taxon perspective [PDF]
Agonism is common in group-living animals, shaping dominance relationships and ultimately impacting individual tness. Rates of agonism vary considerably among taxa, however, and explaining this variation has been central in ecological models of female ...

New records and confirmation of the presence of three species of primates (Mammalia, Primates) in southwestern Colombia [PDF]
Cebus albifrons (Humboldt, 1812); Sapajus apella (Linnaeus, 1758) and Aotus lemurinus I. Geoffroy, 1843 are widely distributed primates in Colombia. Despite this, there are gaps in the occurrence of these species in the southwestern part of the country ...
