Methodological considerations in the analysis of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites in tufted capuchins (Cebus apella) [PDF]
Analysis of fecal glucocorticoid (GC) metabolites has recently become the standard method to monitor adrenocortical activity in primates noninvasively. However, given variation in the production, metabolism, and excretion of GCs across species and even ...

The increase of ecotourism operations within Costa Rica during the last 20yrs has brought more and more humans into close, direct contact with several wildlife species. One of these species is the white-faced capuchin (Cebus capucinus), highly gregarious,

Foraging habits and social learning of white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus), May 2010
Foraging for food is an essential aspect to the life of Cebus capucinus. The transmission of this knowledge takes many months of careful observations and trial and error. I studied the foraging habits of C. capucinus in the Cloud Rainforest.

Habitat use by a C. capucinus troop was studied in an agricultural landscape during late dry season (March-April 1994) in northwest Costa Rica. Riparian forests, palm canals and living fence rows accounted for 82 % of observations, significantly more ...

I investigate the ecological context of intergroup agonism (IGA) in white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus capucinus) to elucidate the roles of feeding and mating competition, explicitly exploring both long- and short-term competitive strategies.

Can color vision variation explain sex differences in invertebrate foraging by capuchin monkeys?
Invertebrates are the main source of protein for many small-bodied monkeys. Prey vary in size, mobility, degree of protective covering, and use of the forest, i.e. canopy height, and whether they are exposed or embed themselves in substrates.

The Ontogeny of Prehensile-Tail Use in Cebus capucinus and Alouatta palliata [PDF]
A study of the platyrrhine prehensile tail provides an opportunity to better understand how ecological and biomechanical factors affect the ability of primates to distribute mass across many different kinds of arboreal supports.

Culture in Non-human Primates: Definitions and Evidence [PDF]
The attribution of culture to non-human animals has been controversial and continues to fuel much heated debate, much of which hinges on how culture is defined.
