Insights into Intraspecies Variation in Primate Prosocial Behavior: Capuchins (Cebus apella) Fail to Show Prosociality on a Touchscreen Task [PDF]
Behavioral Sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2014 Over the past decade, many researchers have used food donation tasks to test whether nonhuman primates show human-like patterns of prosocial behavior in experimental settings.

A nonhuman primate model for genital herpes simplex virus 2 infection that results in vaginal vesicular lesions, virus shedding, and seroconversion. [PDF]
PLoS PathogensThe most commonly used animal models for evaluating the efficacy of HSV-2 candidate vaccines are mice and guinea pigs. While numerous HSV-2 vaccine candidates have been tested in these animals and were effective in reducing disease and mortality, these ...

Primate populations in continuous forest and forest fragments in Central Amazonia [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 1988 Population densities of six primate species (Saguinus midas, Pithecia pithecia, Cebus apella, Chiropotes satanas, Alouatta seniculus and Ateles paniscus) were estimated in continuous forest and in isolated reserves (one of 100 ha and four of 10 ha ...

Per3 expression in different tissues of Cebus apella
Sleep Science, 2016 We present a study of Per3 expression in six different tissues of the non-human primate Cebus apella (capuchin monkey). The aim of this study was to verify whether the expression of the Per3 gene in different tissues of capuchin monkey occurs in a ...

Validating Urinary Neopterin as a Biomarker of Immune Response in Captive and Wild Capuchin Monkeys
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Non-invasive health monitoring is advantageous for wild and captive primate populations because it reduces the need for traditional invasive techniques (i.e., anesthetization) that can be stressful and potentially harmful for individuals.
