Understanding Solidity: Investigating Knowledge of a Functional Object Property in Brown Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus apella) and Common Squirrel Monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2020 Humans form abstract representations about the physical properties of objects, with very young infants having ‘core knowledge’ about solidity and continuity.

Phenotypic and functional characterization of lymphocytes from different age groups of Bolivian squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Due to many physiological and genetic characteristic similarities to humans, squirrel monkeys provide an ideal animal model specifically for studying malaria, and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease).

The Infection Rates of Trypanosomes in Squirrel Monkeys at Two Sites in the Brazilian Amazon
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997 A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of natural infections by trypanosome species in squirrel monkeys: Saimiri sciureus (Linnaeus) and Saimiri ustus (Geoffroy) caught respectively near 2 hydroelectric plants: Balbina, in the State of ...

Small-molecule polymerase inhibitor protects non-human primates from measles and reduces shedding
Nature Communications, 2021 Measles virus is highly contagious and outbreaks occur worldwide. Here the authors show that the orally bioavailable small-molecule polymerase inhibitor ERDRP-0519 prevents measles disease in squirrel monkeys and reduces virus shedding.

Stereopsis and binocularity in the squirrel monkey
Vision Research, 1995 The squirrel monkey lacks anatomically demonstrable ocular dominance columns, and physiologically it has an ocular dominance distribution in V1 that is very different from that of macaques, with far fewer cells that strongly favor one eye over the other. We tested an alert squirrel monkey for physiological responses to stereoscopic stimuli by measuring

Can squirrel monkeys learn an ABnA grammar? A re-evaluation of Ravignani et al. (2013) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Ravignani et al. (2013) habituated squirrel monkeys to sound sequences conforming to an ABnA grammar (n = 1, 2, 3), then tested them for their reactions to novel grammatical and non-grammatical sequences.

Fairly flexible: brown-tufted capuchins and a squirrel monkey adjust their motor responses in a foraging task [PDF]
PeerJPrior research on non-human primates has produced contradictory results regarding behavioral flexibility and habit formation. Most observational studies of wild primates show flexibility in foraging behavior, whereas experimental data suggest captive ...
