Stone tools differences across three capuchin monkey populations: food’s physical properties, ecology, and culture

Scientific Reports, 2022
Robust capuchin monkeys (Sapajus) are known for processing mechanically challenging foods, having morphological adaptations to do so. However, several populations go beyond body limitations by using stone tools to expand their food range.
