Prehensile Tail Use in Mantled Howler Monkeys (Alouatta palliata) and White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus capucinus) [PDF]
, 2016 The prehensile tail, present in five platyrrhine genera, has evolved in parallel in Ateles, Lagothrix, Brachyteles, and Alouatta, comprising the atelines, and Cebus.

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Humans and platyrrhines share a pattern of articular variance
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Previous work has identified a pattern of articular shape variation in modern human limb joints, in which convex joint surfaces exhibit constrained variance relative to their more variable concave conarticulars. This pattern is notable given that joint morphogenesis is influenced by local biomechanical environments, which vary substantially ...

Ontogenetic Patterns of Positional Behavior in Cebus Capucinus and Alouatta Palliata
, 2006 Positional behavior is the measurable and observable link between the biology and behavior of an animal in its environment. In this dissertation, I examine ontogenetic patterns of positional behavior in infant, juvenile, and adult white-faced capuchins ...

Figs Are More Than Fallback Foods: The Relationship between Ficus and Cebus in a Tropical Dry Forest
International Journal of Zoology, 2011 In many studies on primate feeding ecology, figs (Ficus spp.) are characterized as fallback foods, utilized only when preferred sources of food are unavailable. However, for white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus) living in northwestern Costa Rica,

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Based on metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs), the gut microbiota of the gray snub‐nosed monkeys recovered 1229 non‐redundant MAGs. The gut microbiota showed an enhanced capacity to produce energy substrates with increased conversion activity of these substrates during winter.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Baseline cortisol and repeatable behavioral phenotypes were associated with context‐dependent spatial cognition in giant pandas. Individuals differed in spatial search performance under stable and changing resource conditions. Exploratory GPS analyses revealed directionally consistent but non‐significant patterns of space use in novel environments ...

An investigation into the hygienic function of allogrooming in capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella): grooming of different body regions in relation to surface area [PDF]
, 2007 The evolutionary origin of allogrooming behaviour is generally accepted to be hygiene. In recent years this function has received little interest from scientific research while the relatively new social functions are repeatedly studied in a wide variety ...

Prevalence of fur mites (Acari: Atopomelidae) in non-human primates of Costa Rica
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2009 Parasites have been investigated for some New World primates; however, very little is known about ectoparasites and specifically fur mites. In this study, Alouatta palliata, Cebus capucinus, Saimiri oerstedii, and Ateles geoffroyi monkeys from different ...
