Visitor Perceptions of Temple Elephant Welfare Intervention
Iconic Asian elephants in South Indian temples are worshipped in captivity. Ironically, the living conditions of these revered elephants severely restrict their autonomy, and the degrees of social isolation of these highly social animals impact their needs, interests, and wellbeing. Temple elephants earn revenues as they attract public who in turn possess power to regulate the welfare status and the presence/absence of temple elephants. This stud…
Primates in Fragmented Habitats
Forest fragmentation was highlighted as a conservation priority in primatology more than 20 years ago, yet this issue unfortunately remains a key challenge. In this article, I review the literature on primate responses to habitat fragmentation and propose priority areas for future studies. I first encourage scholars to take a landscape approach, which treats heterogeneous cover types, including agroecosystems and secondary forests, as viable spac…
Interactions Between Humans and Panamanian White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus imitator)
A new identification of the monkeys depicted in a Bronze Age wall painting from Akrotiri, Thera
Aegean monkeys and the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration in archaeoprimatology
The (Mis)use of the Term “Commensalism” in Primatology
The State of Ethnoprimatology
A classification system for describing anthropogenic influence on nonhuman primate populations
Many nonhuman primates live in proximity to humans, and all studied primate populations are influenced in some ways by human interaction. While the effects of human interference on primate behavior and ecology are an important area of research in contemporary primatology, to date there is no systematic way to report the types or level of anthropogenic influence for a primate study population. In this paper, I introduce a diagnostic classification…
Species-Specific Responses to Tourist Interactions by White-Faced Capuchins (Cebus imitator) and Mantled Howlers (Alouatta palliata) in a Costa Rican Wildlife Refuge
The effects of provisioning and crop‐raiding on the diet and foraging activities of human‐commensal white‐faced Capuchins ( Cebus capucinus )
Non‐human primates are coming into increasingly frequent contact with humans and with human‐modified environments. The potential for monkeys to survive in such modified landscapes is questionable, and is likely related to a species' behavioral plasticity, particularly as it relates to diet. In this study, I explore the ways in which white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus capucinus ) adjust their diet and foraging behaviors in response to anthropogenic imp…
