Behavioral thermoregulation in primates: A review of literature and future avenues
Primates face severe challenges from climate change, with warming expected to increase animals' thermoregulatory demands. Primates have limited long‐term options to cope with climate change, but possess a remarkable capacity for behavioral plasticity. This creates an urgency to better understand the behavioral mechanisms primates use to thermoregulate. While considerable information exists on primate behavioral thermoregulation, it is often scatt…
Callitrichid responses to dead and dying infants: The effects of paternal bonding and cause of death
Monkey business: Collaborating to grow an ecological physiology of primates
The lab and field provide differing approaches to studying primate biology. We outline the challenges and benefits of these approaches and demonstrate how collaboration can help bridge these perspectives to provide complementary insight into primate adaptive pathways. With this aim, our collaboration has made tangible insights into the ecological physiology of several primate species, and also yielded more subtle, intangible professional benefits
Thyroid hormone fluctuations indicate a thermoregulatory function in both a tropical ( Alouatta palliata ) and seasonally cold‐habitat ( Macaca fuscata ) primate
Thyroid hormones boost animals’ basal metabolic rate and represent an important thermoregulatory pathway for mammals that face cold temperatures. Whereas the cold thermal pressures experienced by primates in seasonal habitats at high latitudes and elevations are often apparent, tropical habitats also display distinct wet and dry seasons with modest changes in thermal environment. We assessed seasonal and temperature‐related changes in thyroid hor…
Pitheciid research comes of age: Past puzzles, current progress, and future priorities
For a long time, members of the Pitheciidae were among the least studied of all Neotropical primates. But times have changed. Here, we trace the trajectory of this change and show how the articles in this special edition illustrate new knowledge and developments in our understanding of pitheciid ecology, behavior, and conservation. We propose new directions and priorities for future research, especially to ensure the effective conservation of pit…
Geographic comparison of plant genera used in frugivory among the pitheciids Cacajao , Callicebus , Chiropotes , and Pithecia
Pitheciids are known for their frugivorous diets, but there has been no broad-scale comparison of fruit genera used by these primates that range across five geographic regions in South America. We compiled 31 fruit lists from data collected from 18 species (three Cacajao, six Callicebus, five Chiropotes, and four Pithecia) at 26 study sites in six countries. Together, these lists contained 455 plant genera from 96 families. We predicted that 1) c…

Measuring Microhabitat Temperature in Arboreal Primates: A Comparison of On-Animal and Stationary Approaches
Preference and consequences: A preliminary look at whether preference impacts oral processing in non-human primates
Body temperature and thermal environment in a generalized arboreal anthropoid, wild mantled howling monkeys ( Alouatta palliata )
Free‐ranging primates are confronted with the challenge of maintaining an optimal range of body temperatures within a thermally dynamic environment that changes daily, seasonally, and annually. While many laboratory studies have been conducted on primate thermoregulation, we know comparatively little about the thermal pressures primates face in their natural, evolutionarily relevant environment. Such knowledge is critical to understanding the evo…
Non‐Monogamous Copulations and Potential Within‐Group Mating Competition in White‐Faced Saki Monkeys ( Pithecia pithecia )
Many primates display within-species variation in social organization and mating system. Individuals of these species may be confronted with both the challenges of between-group competition to exclude same-sex competitors as well as within-group competition for mating opportunities. Free-ranging white-faced saki monkeys (Pithecia pithecia) live in both male-female pairs and small multi-male, multi-female groups. Despite commonly held views that t…

Terrestrial Activity in Pitheciins ( C acajao , C hiropotes , and P ithecia )
Neotropical monkeys of the genera C acajao , C hiropotes , and P ithecia ( P itheciidae) are considered to be highly arboreal, spending most of their time feeding and traveling in the upper canopy. Until now, the use of terrestrial substrates has not been analyzed in detail in this group. Here, we review the frequency of terrestrial use among pitheciin taxa to determine the ecological and social conditions that might lead to such behavior. We col…

Observations of hand preference in wild groups of white‐faced sakis ( Pithecia pithecia ) in Suriname
Hand preference is well observed in humans and some primates. Unlike many other primates, however, humans show a consistent hand preference across a variety of tasks, and a distinct right‐handed skew at the population level. Although there are a moderate number of published studies, primate hand preference literature is unbalanced by the large number of studies on only a few species. No previous studies have addressed hand preference in white‐fac…
Within‐group social bonds in white‐faced saki monkeys ( Pithecia pithecia ) display male–female pair preference
White‐faced saki monkeys ( Pithecia pithecia ) lack most of the behavioral and physical traits typical of primate monogamy [Fuentes, 1999 ]. In order to determine if social bonds in this species reflect patterns displayed by pair‐bonded groups or larger multimale–multifemale groups, we draw on 17 months of data collected on wild white‐faced sakis at Brownsberg Nature Park, Suriname. We analyzed within‐group social bonds for three habituated group…
The influence of experimental manipulations on chewing speed during in vivo laboratory research in tufted capuchins ( Cebus apella )
Even though in vivo studies of mastication in living primates are often used to test functional and adaptive hypotheses explaining primate masticatory behavior, we currently have little data addressing how experimental procedures performed in the laboratory influence mastication. The obvious logistical issue in assessing how animal manipulation impacts feeding physiology reflects the difficulty in quantifying mechanical parameters without handlin…

Iconicity And Word Order in Koyukonathabaskan
Koyukon and other Athabaskan languages are often described as being SOY languages. However, it is also well understood that Athabaskan languages some times allow deviations from this word order. Subject Object Inversion (SOI) in Navajo and other Athabaskan languages is a famous example of such deviation. Koyukon, an Athabaskan language spoken in the interior of Alaska, does not generally allow SOI, but it is not unusual for one to find postverbal…
