Coping strategies in captive capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) [PDF]
Studies on diverse species indicate the existence of individual differences in stress coping strategies labelled as ‘proactive’ and ‘reactive’. Identifying taxonomic distribution of such coping strategies is fundamental to evolutionary models and to ...

This study investigated the feeding and swallowing physiology of 26 marmosets (1 month to 19 years old). Using a non‐invasive cineradiography setup, the study examined key age‐related differences in oral and pharyngeal swallowing phases across four age groups: infant, adult, old, and very old.

Strategies, costs and counter‐strategies to sexual coercion
ABSTRACT Sexual conflict, the conflict between the evolutionary interests of females and males over mating, occasionally results in the evolution of traits favourable for one sex and adverse for the other. In this context, males can use sexual coercion to increase their mating success, at the expense of their female targets' mate choice.

What animals do not do or fail to find: A novel observational approach for studying cognition in the wild [PDF]
To understand how our brain evolved and what it is for, we are in urgent need of knowledge about the cognitive skills of a large variety of animal species and individuals, and their relationships to rapidly disappearing social and ecological conditions ...

Vocal Repertoire of Cebus capucinus: Acoustic Structure, Context, and Usage
Researchers studying nonhuman primate vocal repertoires suggest that convergent environmental, social, and motivational factors account for intra- and interspecific vocal variation. We provide a detailed overview of the vocal repertoire of white-faced capuchins, including acoustic analyses and contextual information of vocal production and vocal usage ...

Using a unique set of near‐continuous behavioral observations of free‐ranging wild dog packs, we combine field data with GPS locations to make inferences on how sociality mediates territorial strategies in a large carnivore. By investigating habitat selection across territorial behaviors, we make multi‐scale inferences on how inter‐ and intra‐pack ...

Dynamics of direct inter-pack encounters in endangered African wild dogs [PDF]
Aggressive encounters may have important life history consequences due to the potential for injury and death, disease transmission, dispersal opportunities or exclusion from key areas of the home range.
