Social Aspects of Fur-rubbing in Cebus capucinus and C. apella

International Journal of Primatology, 2007
Capuchins rub particular plant materials into their pelage, a behavior for which most authors have proposed a medicinal function (Baker in American Journal of Primatology 38:263–270, 1996, Baker, M. (1998). Fur Rubbing as Evidence for Medicinal Plant Use by Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus capucinus): Ecological, Social, and Cognitive Aspects of the Behavior ...

The microbial reproductive ecology of white‐faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus)

American Journal of Primatology, 2018
Changes in reproductive status influence energy and nutrient requirements in female primates. The gut microbiota may buffer changes in energy demands, with shifts in community composition increasing the energy production potential of the gut during pregnancy and lactation.

Vigilance in white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus, in Costa Rica

Animal Behaviour, 1995
Abstract Vigilance behaviour was examined in four groups of white-faced capuchins in Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica. In each group, males spent more time vigilant than females. Average time spent vigilant within each group was not significantly correlated with group size, but was negatively correlated with the number of male group members.

Behavioral indicators of ovarian phase in white‐faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus)

American Journal of Primatology, 2005
AbstractIn many primate species, conspicuous behavioral and/or morphological changes are indicators of the fertile phase of the female cycle. However, several primate species, such as the white‐faced capuchin, lack these cues. This is referred to as “concealed ovulation,” and is argued to be a reproductive strategy that confuses paternity and lowers ...

Vertebrate Predation in Cebus capucinus: Meat Eating in a Neotropical Monkey

Folia Primatologica, 1990
A long-term study of two groups of white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) in Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica provides evidence of unusually high levels of vertebrate predation compared to those reported in other field studies of Cebus. The hunting techniques for different prey types are described, and several questions concerning vertebrate ...

Predictors of Parasitism in Wild White-Faced Capuchins (Cebus capucinus)

International Journal of Primatology, 2013
Parasite infections in wildlife are influenced by many factors including host demography, behavior and physiology, climate, habitat characteristics, and parasite biology and ecology. White-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) host a suite of gastrointestinal and pulmonary parasites, yet the mechanisms affecting host susceptibility and parasite ...

The brachial plexus of a capuchin monkey (Cebus capucinus)

Primates, 1969
Brachial plexuses of an adult female capuchin monkey (Cebus capucinus) were observed macroscopically. The main characteristic features of the organization of the plexus were as follows: Substantially the same organization was observed in the plexuses on both sides.

Intergroup encounters in wild white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus)

International Journal of Primatology, 1996
Wrangham (1980) hypothesized that knowledge of the nature of intergroup encounters is crucial to understanding primate social relationships and social organization. I studied a single social group of wild white-faced capuchins over a period of 26 months and observed 44 encounters between social groups during 3703 hr of observation.

Alpha Male Capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator) as Keystone Individuals

2018
A keystone individual is defined as an individual that has a disproportionate impact on group dynamics relative to its representation in the population. Here we use over 30 years of behavioural, physiological, paternity, and demographic data collected on the Santa Rosa, Costa Rica, capuchin population to address the question of whether or not alpha ...
