Sources of Variation in Fecal Haptoglobin in a Population of Wild Capuchin Monkeys ( Cebus imitator )
The ongoing decline of non‐human primates places renewed emphasis on monitoring health in wild populations. Non‐invasive monitoring of reliable biomarkers of inflammation and immune activation allows researchers to assess individual health status without capturing or interfering with wild animals, but studies are limited by the availability of such biomarkers that are measurable from fecal and urine samples. In the present study, we aimed to vali…
Temperature and Rainfall Associate With Patterns of Parasitism in Free‐Ranging Capuchin Monkeys ( Cebus imitator )
Ecological variables such as climate and habitat composition can impact the infection patterns of gastrointestinal parasites in animal host populations by affecting host behavior and parasite survivability and distribution in the external environment. Data from wild primate populations provide insights into these processes. To contribute new insights from a well‐characterized population, we collected 200 fecal samples from five groups of Costa Ri…
Costs of male infanticide for female capuchins
OBJECTIVES: Infanticide in white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator) typically occurs in association with alpha male replacements (AMRs). Although infanticide is likely adaptive for males, it imposes costs on females that are difficult to quantify without long-term demographic data. Here we investigate effects of AMRs and infanticide on female reproductive success and how these costs affect capuchin groups. We investigate (1) effects of AM…
Group versus population level demographics
Primates have long been used as indicator species for assessing overall ecosystem health. However, area‐wide census methods are time consuming, costly, and not always feasible under many field conditions. Therefore, it is important to establish whether monitoring a subset of a population accurately reflects demographic changes occurring in the population at large. Over the past 35 years, we have conducted 15 area‐wide censuses in Sector Santa Ros…

A Potential Distribution Model and Conservation Plan for the Critically Endangered Ecuadorian Capuchin, Cebus albifrons aequatorialis
Behavioral adaptations to heat stress and water scarcity in white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus capucinus ) in Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica
We examined thermoregulatory behaviors in a wild population of white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus capucinus ) inhabiting a highly seasonal dry forest in Santa Rosa National Park (SRNP), Costa Rica. The dry season in SRNP lasts ∼5 months and is characterized by high ambient temperatures regularly exceeding 37°C, low relative humidity, and the near absence of precipitation. This study demonstrates that capuchins rest more and travel shorter distances du…
