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.

Gaze alternation during “pointing” by squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus)?
, 2007 Gaze alternation (GA) is considered a hallmark of pointing in human infants, a sign of intentionality underlying the gesture. GA has occasionally been observed in great apes, and reported only anecdotally in a few monkeys. Three squirrel monkeys that had

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 ...

The mechanism of labor in nonhuman primates: A look inside
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract While in humans, the flexed position of the fetus and its rotating course down the birth canal are well documented, in other primates the mechanism of labor is unknown. Despite the lack of comparative data, it is commonly assumed that the human obstetric mechanism is unique, and anthropologists have disputed when and why the transition to the ...

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Foraging density for squirrel monkey Saimiri sciureus in two forests in Puerto Lopez - Colombia [PDF]
Revista Mvz Cordoba, 2014 Objective. Forest remnants were analyzed to determine the density of squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) and the degree of alteration of the forest, by selecting areas for the conservation and maintenance of the species in natural environments. Materials
