An investigation into the hygienic function of allogrooming in capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella): grooming of different body regions in relation to surface area [PDF]
The evolutionary origin of allogrooming behaviour is generally accepted to be hygiene. In recent years this function has received little interest from scientific research while the relatively new social functions are repeatedly studied in a wide variety ...

Claustrum projections to prefrontal cortex in the capuchin monkey, Cebus apella.
We examined the pattern of retrograde tracer distribution in the claustrum following intracortical injections into the frontal pole (area 10), dorsal (area 9), and ventral lateral (area 12) regions of the rostral prefrontal cortex in the tufted capuchin ...

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 ...

Social learning and behaviour transmission in brown capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) [PDF]
The research aims of this thesis are to experimentally investigate how behaviours spread socially, and what factors contribute to the development of group-wide social traditions in capuchins (Cebus apella).

Phylogenetic inferences of Atelinae (Platyrrhini) based on multi-directional chromosome painting in Brachyteles arachnoides, Ateles paniscus paniscus and Ateles b. marginatus [PDF]
We performed multi-directional chromosome painting in a comparative cytogenetic study of the three Atelinae species Brachyteles arachnoides, Ateles paniscus paniscus and Ateles belzebuth marginatus, in order to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships ...

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 ...

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.

A suture in time: The ontogeny of cranial suture morphology in mammals
Mammal cranial sutures are important indicators of the biomechanical and developmental pressures acting upon the skull. Across three prominent sutures dividing the vault of the mammalian skull, divergent patterns emerge both taxonomically and developmentally.

Social learning in mother-reared and "enculturated" capuchin monkeys [PDF]
This thesis explores social learning in mother-reared and “enculturated” capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella). At the outset a framework for understanding the social influence on learning is discussed, followed by a review of the social and cognitive ...
