Positional behavior and substrate use in wild adult bearded capuchin monkeys ( Sapajus libidinosus )
Natural selection for positional behavior (posture and locomotion) has at least partially driven the evolution of anatomical form and function in the order Primates. Examination of bipedal behaviors associated with daily activity patterns, foraging, and terrestrial habitat use in nonhuman primates, particularly those that adopt bipedal postures and use bipedal locomotion, allows us to refine hypotheses concerning the evolution of bipedalism in hu…
Taking a big bite
The study of adaptation requires the integration of an array of different types of data. A single individual can find such integration daunting, if not impossible. In an effort to clarify the role of diet in the evolution of the primate craniofacial and dental apparatus, we assembled a team of researchers that have various types and degrees of expertise. This interaction has provided a range of insights for all contributors, and this has helped t…
Kinetics of bipedal locomotion during load carrying in capuchin monkeys
Fallback foraging as a way of life
The genus Cebus is one of the best extant models for examining the role of fallback foods in primate evolution. Cebus includes the tufted capuchins, which exhibit skeletal features for the exploitation of hard and tough foods. Paradoxically, these seemingly “specialized” taxa belong to the most ubiquitous group of closely related primates in South America, thriving in a range of different habitats. This appears to be a consequence of their abilit…
Is primate conservation essential to ecosystem conservation
The relationship between locomotor behavior and limb morphology in brown ( Cebus apella ) and weeper ( Cebus olivaceus ) capuchins
This study is a comparison of locomotor behavior and postcranial form in two species of capuchin monkey, the brown capuchin ( Cebus apella ), and the weeper capuchin ( Cebus olivaceus ). Behavioral data from groups of wild C. apella and C. olivaceus in Guyana were collected during the period of December 1999 through November 2000. Postcranial variables including 40 measurements and three indices were taken from 43 adult and subadult specimens of …
