Taxonomic and sex differences in sagittal cresting among gracile and robust capuchin monkeys. [PDF]

J Anat
In this study, I show that there are interspecific differences in the frequency and pattern of sagittal cresting among six capuchin species. Four of the six species show sagittal cresting, with Cebus capucinus showing a different sagittal cresting pattern to that observed in three robust capuchin species. All four crested species show sexual dimorphism

Behavioral Contagion in Wild Ecuadorian White-Fronted Capuchins (Cebus aequatorialis). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
White‐fronted capuchins exhibit scratching contagion, but neither the characteristics of the trigger, or of the partner's (sex, age class, or centrality), or of the dyad (combination of sex, combination of age class, or social bond) seem to modulate the likelihood of contagion.

Contexts of Anointing Behavior in a Group of Blond Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus flavius) Inhabiting an Atlantic Forest Fragment. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Wild blond capuchin anoints with millipede species that secrete a chemical capable of repelling ectoparasites, suggesting a self‐medicative function. Social and solitary anointing bouts occurred at similar frequencies, but with greater engagement by adult males, indicating that anointing is a multifunctional behavior.

Microsatellite Markers for Bearded Capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus): Transferability and Characterization [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Natural Sapajus libidinosus populations are in continuous decline due to fragmentation, habitat loss, and the illegal pet trade. They live in Caatinga scrub forests, which already lost over 50% of their original cover.

An integrative, peer-reviewed and open-source cooperative-breeding database (Co-BreeD). [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
Co‐BreeD is the first updatable and open‐source database dedicated to cooperative breeding. It enables continuous, non‐binary measurement of cooperative breeding, transforming how we study breeding systems across taxa. Further, by linking biological estimates to their exact sampling location and period, it allows for unprecedented accuracy in the ...

Differential impact of severe drought on infant mortality in two sympatric neotropical primates [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
Extreme climate events can have important consequences for the dynamics of natural populations, and severe droughts are predicted to become more common and intense due to climate change.

Selfish or altruistic? An analysis of alarm call function in wild capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella nigritus [PDF]

, 2008
Alarm calls facilitate some antipredatory benefits of group living but may endanger the caller by attracting the predator's attention. A number of hypotheses invoking kin selection and individual selection have been proposed to explain how such behaviour

Variation in grouping patterns, mating systems and social structure: what socio-ecological models attempt to explain [PDF]

, 2013
Socio-ecological models aim to predict the variation in social systems based on a limited number of ecological parameters. Since the 1960s, the original model has taken two paths: one relating to grouping patterns and mating systems and one relating to ...
