Social and environmental factors affecting fecal glucocorticoids in wild, female white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus capucinus )
Assessing glucocorticoid levels in free‐ranging nonhuman primates provides a means to determine the social and environmental stress load for individuals. We investigated the effect of four proximate variables—reproductive state, season, male rank stability, and dominance rank—on the level of fecal glucocorticoids (cortisol metabolites) in eight adult female white‐faced capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica. Reproductive state, season, and male rank stab…
Reproductive Seasonality in Female Capuchins (Cebus capucinus) in Santa Rosa (Area de Conservación Guanacaste), Costa Rica
Predictors of reproductive success in female white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus capucinus )
Early investigations into variable reproductive success in nonhuman primates tended to focus on the benefits conferred by high dominance rank. However, the effect of high rank on individual reproductive success has been found to vary both intra‐ and interspecifically, requiring researchers to expand their investigations to include additional factors. Here we examine the age and rank of the mother, sex of the infant, group size, number of close ki…
Behavioral indicators of ovarian phase in white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus capucinus )
In many primate species, conspicuous behavioral and/or morphological changes are indicators of the fertile phase of the female cycle. However, several primate species, such as the white‐faced capuchin, lack these cues. This is referred to as “concealed ovulation,” and is argued to be a reproductive strategy that confuses paternity and lowers the risk of infanticide. We studied 10 adult female white‐faced capuchins in Santa Rosa National Park, Cos…
