Vertical bipedal locomotion in wild bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus)

Primates, 2016
When carrying objects, nonhuman primates often show bipedal locomotion. Studies of primate bipedality, however, in both nature and captivity, have concentrated on locomotion on horizontal substrates, either terrestrially or arboreally. No observational or experimental study seems to have looked at non-horizontal bipedality, yet we show here that it ...

Adaptability in stone tool use by wild capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus)

American Journal of Primatology, 2014
Capuchin monkeys are well known for population variation in the use of stone tools and the types of food items consumed. In order to determine adaptability in stone tool use, we investigated a never before studied population of wild capuchin monkey (Sapajus libidinosus) displaying terrestrial habits in a Caatinga environment. To carry out this study we

Female bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) use objects to solicit the sexual partner.

Journal of Comparative Psychology, 2017
Female wild bearded capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus) living at Serra da Capivara National Park (SCNP) that use stone and stick tools during foraging occasionally toss or throw stones at the male during courtship. We report similar behaviors in a different population that uses stones as tools in foraging.

Factors affecting cashew processing by wild bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus, Kerr 1792)

American Journal of Primatology, 2016
Cashew nuts are very nutritious but so well defended by caustic chemicals that very few species eat them. We investigated how wild bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) living at Fazenda Boa Vista (FBV; Piauí, Brazil) process cashew nuts (Anacardiumspp.) to avoid the caustic chemicals contained in the seed mesocarp. We recorded the behavior of

Kidney cysts in a capuchin monkey (Sapajus libidinosus) – case report

Clínica Veterinária, 2017
Cystic lesions in the renal parenchyma can be attributed to several types of pathologic conditions, such as acquired renal cysts and polycystic kidney disease. Some clinical criteria are used to distinguish between these two diseases. Ultrasonography aids in the characterization of cystic lesions in the abdominal organs, allowing the diagnosis of these

Anticipating future actions: Motor planning improves with age in wild bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus)

Developmental Science, 2021
AbstractSelf‐directed object manipulation tasks illuminate development of motor planning. Grasping strategies that lead to good object control to perform the following action(s) reveal second‐order motor planning. Motor planning for efficient grips develops slowly in children.

Flexible and conservative features of social systems in tufted capuchin monkeys: comparing the socioecology ofSapajus libidinosusandSapajus nigritus [PDF]

American Journal of Primatology, 2011
AbstractSocioecological models assume that primates adapt their social behavior to ecological conditions, and predict that food availability and distribution, predation risk and risk of infanticide by males affect patterns of social organization, social structure and mating system of primates.

Diversity of nutcracking tool sites used bySapajus libidinosusin BrazilianCerrado

American Journal of Primatology, 2015
Cracking nuts with tools is a behavior documented in a small number of populations of tufted capuchins, mainly in semi‐aridCaatingaandCaatinga–Cerradotransitional environments of northeastern Brazil. Only one of these populations inhabits the less aridCerradoin Central Brazil, where environments are composed of a heterogeneous mosaic of fields ...

Bearded capuchin (Sapajus libidinosus) predation on a rock cavy (Kerodon rupestris) followed by prey sharing

Primates, 2021
We describe predation on an adult rodent rock cavy and sharing of the carcass by a group of male bearded capuchins. Despite many studies, such an interaction has never been observed in bearded capuchins. Rock cavies are large rodents weighing around 25% of the weight of an adult male bearded capuchin.
