Visual responses of ganglion cells of a New‐World primate, the capuchin monkey, Cebus apella
1. The genetic basis of colour vision in New-World primates differs from that in humans and other Old-World primates. Most New-World primate species show a polymorphism; all males are dichromats and most females trichromats. 2. In the retina of Old-World primates such as the macaque, the physiological correlates of trichromacy are well established ...

An efficient computerized testing method for the capuchin monkey (Cebus apella): Adaptation of the LRC-CTS to a socially housed nonhuman primate species [PDF]
Even with advances in automated testing techniques, the capuchin monkey (Cebus apella) can be a difficult species to test in the laboratory, given its social/behavioral tendencies and typical activity pattern. Laboratories that maintain social colonies of capuchin monkeys are able to separate and test individuals, but the process can be very effortful ...

Responses to Economic Games of Cooperation and Conflict in Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis)
Games from experimental economics have provided insights into the evolutionary roots of social decision making in primates and other species. Multiple primate species’ abilities to cooperate, coordinate and anti-coordinate have been tested utilizing ...

Non‐Invasive Measures of DNA Methylation Capture Molecular Aging in Wild Capuchin Monkeys
ABSTRACT Elucidating the socio‐ecological factors that shape patterns of aging in long‐lived vertebrates is of broad interest to evolutionary biologists, geroscientists, and ecologists. However, research on aging in wild populations still faces challenges due to the difficulty of measuring cellular hallmarks of aging non‐invasively and the difficulty ...

ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

ANATOMIC STUDY OF NEOTROPIC PRIMATE'S SUBMANDIBULAR GLAND DUCTS (Cebus apella, LINNAEUS 1766)
Algunos aspectos anatomicos de los canales excretores de 30 glandulas submandibulares de "macaco prego", Cebus apella, estudiamos por tecnicas de diseccion en lupa. Las cabezas fueron inyectadas con solucion de latex (neoprene 450) y coloradeadas con pigmento verde.

Genetic variability in two captive colonies of Cebus apella paraguayanus (primates: platyrrhini) from eastern Paraguay [PDF]
The tufted capuchin, Cebus apella is a New World Monkey (NWM) species widely used in biomedicine. Its genetic variability has been assessed through various genetic tools. The present study offers a cytogenetic charac- terization of two captive colonies of Paraguayan specimens, in order to increase the current information on the role of cytogenetic ...
