Perceptual Tuning Influences Rule Generalization: Testing Humans With Monkey-Tailored Stimuli
i-Perception, 2019 Comparative research investigating how nonhuman animals generalize patterns of auditory stimuli often uses sequences of human speech syllables and reports limited generalization abilities in animals.

Squirrel monkey responses to information from social demonstration and individual exploration using touchscreen and object choice tasks [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 We aimed to study whether a non-human primate species responded differently to information acquired socially compared with that acquired individually. To do so, we attempted to train squirrel monkeys to perform binary discriminations.

Oikos, EarlyView.Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

Chronic Wasting Disease Agents in Nonhuman Primates
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 Chronic wasting disease is a prion disease of cervids. Assessment of its zoonotic potential is critical. To evaluate primate susceptibility, we tested monkeys from 2 genera.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Studies on the regulation of plasma cholesterol levels in squirrel monkeys of two genotypes
Journal of Lipid Research, 1972 Certain individual squirrel monkeys (“hyporesponders”) are able to remain normocholesterolemic when fed diets containing cholesterol (0.5 mg/kcal). Other squirrel monkeys (“hyperresponders”) when fed the same diet become hypercholesterolemic. The purpose

Photoacoustics, 2022 The investigation of neuronal activity in non-human primate models is of critical importance due to their genetic similarity to human brains. In this study, we tested the feasibility of using photoacoustic imaging for the detection of cortical and ...

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

Cholesterol metabolism in rhesus monkey, squirrel monkey, and baboon
Journal of Lipid Research, 1974 The metabolism of cholesterol wastudied in baboons, rhesus monkeys, and squirrel monkeys while they were being fed either a low fat, low cholesterol (basal) diet or the basal diet supplemented with saturated fat and cholesterol (atherogenic diet).
