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 ...

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 ...

Conformism in the food processing techniques of white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus) [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2009 Researchers of "culture" have long been interested in the role of social learning in establishing patterns of behavioral variation in wild animals, but very few studies examine this issue using a developmental approach. This 7-year study examines the acquisition of techniques used to process Luehea candida fruits in a wild population of white-faced ...

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.

Intestinal parasites infecting captive non-human primates in Italy [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Non-human primates (NHPs) living in captive conditions are susceptible to intestinal parasites that can contribute to mortality and morbidity, and cause zoonotic infections.

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 ...

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 ...

Multi-Species Canopy Latrines in Costa Rican Cloud Forests: A Mammal Interactions Hub in a Single Tree Species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe documented arboreal, multi‐species mammal latrines in montane cloud forests of Costa Rica by surveying 169 trees across 29 species. Latrines were found exclusively on Ficus tuerckheimii, with 11 occurrences across two mountain ranges and an additional observation in Honduras.

No Evidence of Reactive Avoidance of Baboons (<i>Papio ursinus</i> and <i>Papio anubis</i>) to the Presence of Predators. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we took advantage of the largest camera trap‐based monitoring project in Africa, Snapshot Safari and analyzed 10,000 camera trap detections from three sites in South Africa and one site in Tanzania to test whether baboons exhibit species‐specific reactive avoidance in response to the presence of predators. ABSTRACT Predators exert strong

Revista Científica de Ciencias Naturales y Ambientales, 2021 Los encierros son una situación extrema para los primates que usualmente habitan espacios amplios. Para estimar el efecto del encierro en el comportamiento, se observaron 6 monos en un exhibidor del Parque Histórico Guayaquil, de las siguientes ...
