Mites collected from the auditory canal of Cebus apella (capuchin monkey), family Cebidae, were identified as Fonsecalges johnjadini (Psoroptidae, Cebalginae). It is the first record of this parasite from this monkey. This paper emphasizes the importance

ABSTRACT Wildlife captive populations are important tools for threatened species conservation, and early identification of diseases must be prioritized. In this study, we test for the presence of anti‐Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in non‐human primates at a Zoo from Pernambuco State, Brazil.

Non‐Invasive Measures of DNA Methylation Capture Molecular Aging in Wild Capuchin Monkeys
ABSTRACT Elucidating the socio‐ecological factors that shape patterns of aging in long‐lived vertebrates is of broad interest to evolutionary biologists, geroscientists, and ecologists. However, research on aging in wild populations still faces challenges due to the difficulty of measuring cellular hallmarks of aging non‐invasively and the difficulty ...

Phylogenetic studies of the genus
Background Chromosomal painting, using whole chromosome probes from humans and Saguinus oedipus, was used to establish karyotypic divergence among species of the genus Cebus, including C. olivaceus, C. albifrons, C. apella robustus and C.

ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

The stone tools of capuchins (Cebus apella) [PDF]
We examined the production of stone took by capuchins (Cebus apella). Eleven subjects used five reduction techniques to produce 346 stone tools (48 cores and 298 flakes). They produced a sharp edge on 83% of the cores and largest flakes. Three monkeys later used a sample of these objects as cutting tools.

Bimanual Coordination and Right‐Hand Bias in Extractive Foraging by Wild Sapajus libidinosus
Wild Sapajus libidinosus exhibit a significant preference at the population level for using their right‐hand fingers to extract nut kernels when employing bimanual coordination. ABSTRACT Bimanual coordination is considered a crucial factor in the evolution of manual lateralization.

Our study investigated the quantity discrimination ability in a highly social group of New World monkeys, with the goal of understanding how individual differences in performance due to group composition might be explained from an evolutionary perspective.
