Between dunes and estuary: Forecasting mangrove forest change on primate culture and isolated livelihoods in Maranhão, Brazil
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 community. In this location, the capuchins survive solely within the mangrove forests, primarily feeding on the mangrove crab ( Ucides cordatus ), often using wooden tools to crack them open. T…
Male Infanticide in the Northern Purple‐Faced Langur ( Semnopithecus vetulus Philbricki) in the Kaludiyapukuna Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka
Infanticide, the killing of conspecific infants, has been observed in many species, including rodents, carnivores, and notably, primates. Although several adaptive and non‐adaptive hypotheses have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, most cases to date appear consistent with the sexual selection hypothesis, particularly in primates. According to this hypothesis, males increase their reproductive success by eliminating unrelated unweaned infa…
The Coexistence of People and Bearded Capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus) in a Nonindustrial Ecosystem: An Assessment of Tourist and Local Perceptions in the Coastal Area of Maranhão, Brazil
Hand preference in wild crab‐eating capuchin monkeys ( Sapajus libidinosus ) in the coastal area of Northest Brazil
Handedness is a fundamental human trait, although recent research, especially on nonhuman primates, has shown that it is displayed by other animals as well (e.g., chimpanzees, gorillas). In this study, we explore hand preference in wild crab‐eating tufted capuchin monkeys ( Sapajus libidinosus ) inhabiting a mangrove forest located on the coastal area of Northeast Brazil (Maranhão State). Tufted capuchin monkeys at our site use facultatively wood…
Mixed-species associations and attempted mating suggest hybridization between purple-faced and tufted gray langurs of Sri Lanka
The context of chest beating and hand clapping in wild western gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)
Rare Bearded Capuchin (Sapajus libidinosus) Tool-Use Culture is Threatened by Land use Changes in Northeastern Brazil
Nutritional composition of the diet of the western gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla ): Interspecific variation in diet quality
To meet nutritional needs, primates adjust their diets in response to local habitat differences, though whether these dietary modifications translate to changes in dietary nutrient intake is unknown. A previous study of two populations of the mountain gorilla (MG: Gorilla beringei ) found no evidence for intraspecific variation in the nutrient composition of their diets, despite ecological and dietary differences between sites. One potential expl…
Hand Preference for a Novel Bimanual Coordinated Task During Termite Feeding in Wild Western Gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)
Noise, animal communication, language and evolution
The function of loud calls (Hoot Series) in wild western gorillas ( G orilla gorilla )
The use of loud vocal signals to reduce distance among separated social partners is well documented in many species; however, the underlying mechanisms by which the reduction of spacing occurs and how they differ across species remain unclear. Western gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla ) offer an opportunity to investigate these issues because their vocal repertoire includes a loud, long‐distance call (i.e., hoot series) that is potentially used in withi…
