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

The Ontogeny of "Twitter" Calls in White-Faced Capuchins (Cebus imitator): Usage, Context, and Acoustic Structure. [PDF]
Am J PrimatolABSTRACT In stark contrast to our own highly plastic communicative abilities, nonhuman primate vocalizations were historically considered fixed and innate, with very little ability to learn or modify vocal signals. However, recent studies indicate that primate vocalizations do show evidence of developmental plasticity, most notably in their context and

A Guidance for Diagnosis, Control Measures, and Surveillance of Leptospirosis in Non-Human Primates From a Veterinary Perspective in a One-Health Approach. [PDF]
J Med PrimatolABSTRACT Leptospirosis is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp., affecting a wide range of domestic and wild mammals including nonhuman primates (NHPs). Despite rising incidence rates in both NHPs and humans, there is a lack of comprehensive resources addressing leptospirosis in NHPs from a veterinary perspective in a One ...

WHAT DO NEOTROPICAL PRIMATES TELL US UNDER THE LOOK OF CYTOGENETICS? [PDF]
BAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2022 Cytogenetics studies in Neotropical Primates (Primates: Platyrrhini) have shown that these mammals comprise a heterogeneous group at the chromosomal level.

Potential Tool Use by Wolves (<i>Canis lupus</i>): Crab Trap Pulling in Haíɫzaqv Nation Territory. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRecently, recurring damage to crab traps used by Haíɫzaqv Nation Guardians to control a European Green Crab invasion was investigated with remote cameras. A wolf was recorded emerging from the water carrying a crab trap buoy, then sequentially pulling the attached line up the beach until the initially submerged trap emerged from the water, with the ...

Studying animal innovation at the individual level: A ratings-based assessment in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus [Cebus] sp.). [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2021 Large-scale studies of individual differences in innovative behavior among nonhuman animals are rare because of logistical difficulties associated with obtaining observational data on a large number of innovative individuals across multiple locations.

Habitual stone-tool-aided extractive foraging in white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Habitual reliance on tool use is a marked behavioural difference between wild robust (genus Sapajus) and gracile (genus Cebus) capuchin monkeys. Despite being well studied and having a rich repertoire of social and extractive foraging traditions, Cebus ...

Tiny Patch, Big Value: A Small Dry Forest Patch Supports Wildlife Conservation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study highlights the biodiversity value of the Murren Reserve, a small tropical dry forest patch in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Using camera traps and opportunistic observations, researchers documented 32 wildlife species, including federally endangered species like the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and puma (Puma concolor), as well as 73 plant species.

Incisor cross-sectional area at the cementoenamel junction correlates with an increased reliance on frugivory in anthropoid primates. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains
