Habitual stone-tool-aided extractive foraging in white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Habitual reliance on tool use is a marked behavioural difference between wild robust (genus Sapajus) and gracile (genus Cebus) capuchin monkeys. Despite being well studied and having a rich repertoire of social and extractive foraging traditions, Cebus ...

Revisiting Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus capucinus) and the Ancient Maya
Revue de Primatologie, 2014 Two genera of nonhuman primates, howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata and A. pigra) and spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) currently reside throughout the area inhabited by the modern Maya. Michael Coe (1978, 1989) suggested that the Classic Maya (A.D.

trnL outperforms rbcL as a DNA metabarcoding marker when compared with the observed plant component of the diet of wild white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus, Primates) [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 DNA metabarcoding is a powerful tool for assessing the diets of wild animals, but there is no clear consensus on which proposed plant barcoding marker is most suitable for dietary analysis.

Trichromacy increases fruit intake rates of wild capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator). [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017 Significance Color vision variation is prevalent among neotropical monkeys. Captive studies indicate that trichromacy should confer a fruit feeding advantage. This hypothesis, however, has yet to be supported by field studies. We collected behavioral and genetic data from 72 capuchins and analyzed ca.

Ontogeny of Foraging Competence in Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus capucinus) for Easy versus Difficult to Acquire Fruits: A Test of the Needing to Learn Hypothesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Which factors select for long juvenile periods in some species is not well understood. One potential reason to delay the onset of reproduction is slow food acquisition rates, either due to competition (part of the ecological risk avoidance hypothesis ...

Coupling of coastal activity with tidal cycles is stronger in tool-using capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Terrestrial mammals exploiting coastal resources must cope with the challenge that resource availability and accessibility fluctuate with tidal cycles. Tool use can improve foraging efficiency and provide access to structurally protected resources that ...

Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) in New World Monkeys (Primates) Reveals the Distribution of Repetitive Sequences in Cebinae and Callitrichinae [PDF]
BiologyThe intraspecies and interspecies Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) between the closely related Cebidae species, capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus, Sapajus apella), and the tamarins (Saguinus mystax, Leontocebus fuscicollis) was performed to ...
