Wild bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) strategically place nuts in a stable position during nut-cracking. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Humans can use hand tools smoothly and effectively in varying circumstances; in other words, skillfully. A few other species of primates crack encased foods using hammer tools and anvils. Are they skilled?

Electrocutions in Free-Ranging Platyrrhine Nonhuman Primates: Diagnostic Features for a Threatening Condition. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Epidemiological and pathological features of electrocutions in free‐ranging new‐world monkeys. ABSTRACT Electrical accidents pose a considerable threat to wildlife in anthropized regions, particularly arboreal mammals, as evidenced by cases of electrocutions in nonhuman primates (NHPs). This study characterized the frequency, anatomic distribution, and

Vocalizations Reveal Species Differences in Endangered Lion Tamarins (Primates, Callitrichidae). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Spectral parameters of vocalizations distinguish lion tamarin species. Peak frequency, center frequency, and frequency at 5% and 95% were the most informative measures for separating species, with the trill being the vocalization that showed the most differences, and Leontopithecus caissara being the most distinct species of all.

Between dunes and estuary: Forecasting mangrove forest change on primate culture and isolated livelihoods in Maranhão, Brazil

Geo: Geography and Environment
The unique ecological conditions of the mangrove forests in the Rio Preguiças Estuary, Maranhão, Brazil, support a culturally isolated population of bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) and contribute to the livelihoods and economy of the local

Nut-cracking success and efficiency in two wild capuchin monkey populations [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Capuchins can employ several strategies to deal with environmental challenges, such as using stone tools to access encapsulated resources. Nut-cracking is customary in several capuchin populations and can be affected by ecological and cultural factors ...

Withdraw-to-eat movements of the Platyrrhine Sapajus libidinosus to the changing affordance of tubers with eating [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition
The evolution of hand ability in primates is staged, with the visual control of hand shaping likely originating in Platyrrhine primates, members of a monophyletic primate suborder whose stem group diverged from catarrhines about 40 million years ago ...

First observation of a leucistic bearded capuchin monkey (Sapajus libidinosus). [PDF]

Primates
Abstract Leucism, a pigmentation disorder resulting in partial loss of coloration, is rare in neotropical primates. This manuscript presents the first report of a leucistic robust capuchin monkey ( Sapajus libidinosus ), observed at Ubajara National Park, Brazil.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Biofilm in Bacteria from Rehabilitated Sapajus libidinosus. [PDF]

Ecohealth
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in natural environments and wildlife is an escalating threat to global health and biodiversity conservation. Neotropical primates of the genus Sapajus may act as reservoirs and ecological sentinels of resistant bacteria. The absence of

Wild capuchin monkeys use stones and sticks to access underground food [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Primates employ different tools and techniques to overcome the challenges of obtaining underground food resources. Humans and chimpanzees are known to tackle this problem with stick tools and one population of capuchin monkeys habitually uses stone tools.
