Seed predation by monkeys and macaws in eastern Venezuela
Challenge of neotropical frugivory
We compared travel patterns of two neotropical frugivores, Ateles paniscus (black spider monkeys) and Chiropotes satanas (bearded sakis), during a 6‐month study at Raleighvallen‐Voltzberg Nature Reserve in Surinam. Ateles were typically found in small foraging parties that changed in size and composition throughout the day. Chiropotes troops moved from one feeding area to the next, fragmenting “locally” when they entered an area with more than on…
Variability in platyrrhine social organization
Greater intraspecific and intrageneric variability exists in the social organization of platyrrhine primates than has previously been recognized. Although this is most marked and already recognized in the callitrichins, it also appears in many other neotropical species. One area of striking variability is the degree of troop fragmentation. Fission‐fusion and cohesion are ends of a continuum of social organizations in which troop fragmentation is …

Predation by jaguar on howler monkeys ( Alouatta seniculus ) in Venezuela
We document the loss of all but the youngest member of a troop of six howler monkeys due to probable jaguar predation during a 7‐month period in 1988. The formation of Guri Lake resulted in forest fragmentation which forced monkeys into new and unfamiliar areas and altered the balance of predator and prey populations, and may thus have contributed indirectly to the success of the jaguar. The selection of defoliated (dead) trees for sleeping sites…
Dietary and dental adaptations in the Pitheciinae
Since Mivart (1865), Cacajao , Chiropotes , and Pithecia have been grouped into a single taxon, which he called the subfamily Pitheciinae but which I, following Rosenberger (this issue), refer to as the living members of the tribe Pitheciini. While few today doubt the association of these three living genera, not all would place them together with Aotus and Callicebus in the subfamily Pitheciinae. This is an attempt to sort out the behavioral and…

Hardness as a basis of fruit choice in two sympatric primates
Fruit color and size are significant determinants of food choice in mammals and birds, but hardness, an important physical property of fruit and seeds, has generally been overlooked as a determinant of food choice in studies of mammalian foraging behavior. Two methods were used to determine fruit hardness during a field study of two sympatric primates, the black spider monkey ( Ateles paniscus ) and the bearded saki monkey ( Chiropotes satanas ) …

The Evolution of human behavior
Territorial shift in the yellow‐handed titi monkey ( Callicebus torquatus )
In this study, the ranging pattern of a single group of monogamous and territorial Callicebus torquatus was recorded over a 7‐year period from 1974 to 1980. Data on ranging pattern were recorded by direct observation; daily movement patterns were plotted on an accurate, scaled map of the territory. Data were obtained during 1–3‐month studies each year from 1974 to 1978 and in 1980, as well as during a 12‐month study in 1979‐1980. These studies sh…

Intergroup loud calls, range size, and spacing in Callicebus torquatus
Observations are reported on the response of a free‐ranging group of Callicebus torquatus to recordings of loud intergroup calls. When the recording consisted of the call of a solo adult male, the group fled from the recording. When the recording consisted of the adult male and female duetting together, the group remained in place and called back to the recording. These results contrast with previously described vocal and spatial responses of C. …
Grooming behavior in the titi monkey ( Callicebus torquatus )
Observations on a family group of four free‐ranging Callicebus torquatus are reported for 235 hours on 18 complete days. Grooming sessions usually contained more than one grooming bout, and the longest grooming sessions occured on the sleeping bough, prior to dusk. On 12 days continuous observations were made on all grooming activity on the sleeping bough. The total time spent grooming, and the number and length of grooming bouts were recorded. R…

Functional patterns of molar occlusion in platyrrhine primates
Mechanico‐functional features of molar form were studied in Callithrix, Alouatta, Pithecia and Cebus . Molars of Callithrix and Alouatta are adapted to loading foods under relatively high occlusal pressure; those of Pithecia and Cebus , under relatively low occlusal pressure. General functional considerations suggest that these taxa are adapted to insectivorous, folivorous, frugivorous and omnivorous diets, respectively. The physical properties o…

Canine teeth of the monkey,Callicebus moloch
Evolution of the Human Canine Tooth1
This paper examines the evidence for the orthodox view that man evolved from a prehominid ancestor with large maxillary canine teeth. Middle Pleistocene hominids with canines larger than those of modern man provide questionable evidence, since those of earlier hominids were smaller. Available fossil evidence supports the view that claims for a large canine in human ancestry have been exaggerated
