Conflitos entre macacos-prego e visitantes no Parque Nacional de Brasília: possíveis soluções / Conflicts between capuchin monkeys and visitors inside the Brasília National Park: possible solutions [PDF]
Os conflitos entre os visitantes e os macacos-prego na área das piscinas do Parque Nacional de Brasília (PNB) têm origem na presença de alimentos levados pelos próprios visitantes, objetos de atração dos macacos-prego. Com base na literatura e resultados

Abstract Understanding the frequency and socio‐ecological drivers of contacts between humans and non‐human primates (NHPs) is crucial for enhancing coexistence that favours NHP conservation, while limiting negative consequences such as aggressions and cross‐species disease transmission.

Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates
ABSTRACT While intergroup conflict features prominently in the behavioural ecology literature, its antonym, intergroup peace, has been a rather neglected phenomenon until recently. Neighbourly relations and affiliative interactions are far from uncommon.

Short Abstract The unique ecological conditions of the mangrove forests in the Rio Preguiças Estuary, Maranhão, Brazil, support a culturally isolated population of bearded capuchin monkeys and contribute significantly to the livelihoods and economy of the local community.

Ontogenetic biomechanics of tufted (Sapajus) and untufted (Cebus) capuchin mandibles
Abstract Objectives Cortical bone geometry is commonly used to investigate biomechanical properties of primate mandibles. However, the ontogeny of these properties is less understood. Here we investigate changes in cortical bone cross‐sectional properties throughout capuchin ontogeny and compare captive versus wild, semi‐provisioned groups.

Terrestriality across the primate order: A review and analysis of ground use in primates
Abstract Terrestriality is relatively rare in the predominantly arboreal primate order. How frequently, and when, terrestriality appears in primate evolution, and the factors that influence this behavior, are not well understood. To investigate this, we compiled data describing terrestriality in 515 extant nonhuman primate taxa.

We assessed whether wild geladas, highly specialized terrestrial grass eaters, are lateralized for bimanual grass‐plucking behavior. Their manual dexterity was also evaluated. Abstract We assessed whether wild geladas, highly specialized terrestrial grass eaters, are lateralized for bimanual grass‐plucking behavior.

The effects of feeding frequency on jaw loading in two lemur species
Abstract Objectives Studies on oral processing are often snapshots of behaviors that examine feeding through individual bouts. In this study, we expand on our previous work comparing bite/chew variables per feeding bout to summed daily biting, chewing, and food intake to interpret loading that could have potential morphological effects.
