The use of stone tool sites to estimate the home range of blonde capuchin monkeys in the Caatinga dry forest
Where and How
The blonde capuchin monkey ( Sapajus flavius ) was, until a few years ago, an endemic primate of the Atlantic Forest. Today, populations inhabit the Caatinga dry forest and these have been documented using stone tools to access encased foods. It is important to know the distribution of these sites and the characteristics of the stone tools to inform conservation actions for this primate in the Caatinga. To this end, we identified and characterize…

Direct links between resource availability and activity budget better reveal ecological patterns of endangered Coimbra-Filho’s titi monkey
Diet and seed dispersal of bearded capuchin monkeys ( Sapajus libidinosus ) in Brasilia National Park
The dietary ecology of a species can provide information on habitat requirements, food resources, and trophic interactions, important to guide conservation efforts of wildlife populations in endangered habitats. In this study, we investigated the dietary ecology of bearded capuchin monkeys ( Sapajus libidinosus ) in Brasilia National Park, in the endangered Cerrado biome of central Brazil. To obtain diet composition and evaluate the role of these…
Throat-to-Chest Behavior in Coimbra-Filho’s Titi Monkeys (Callicebus coimbrai) Is Potentially Associated with Olfactory Communication
The Density of Callicebus coimbrai is Better Predicted by Vegetation Structure Variables than by Surrounding Landscape
For emergency only
Food availability, plant diversity, and vegetation structure drive behavioral and ecological variation in Endangered Coimbra‐Filho's titi monkeys
There is wide variability in primate behavior and ecology. Understanding how frugivorous primates behave under different habitat fragmentation levels is key for effective conservation and management of species and their habitats. We evaluated the seasonality in activity budget, diet, and ranging behavior of two groups of Endangered Coimbra‐Filho's titi monkeys ( Callicebus coimbrai ). One group inhabited a 14‐ha forest fragment, whereas the other…
Fermented food consumption in wild nonhuman primates and its ecological drivers
OBJECTIVES: Although fermented food use is ubiquitous in humans, the ecological and evolutionary factors contributing to its emergence are unclear. Here we investigated the ecological contexts surrounding the consumption of fruits in the late stages of fermentation by wild primates to provide insight into its adaptive function. We hypothesized that climate, socioecological traits, and habitat patch size would influence the occurrence of this beha…
Should I store, or should I sync? The breeding strategy of two small Neotropical primates under predictable resource availability
Terrestrial Behavior in Titi Monkeys (Callicebus, Cheracebus, and Plecturocebus)
Functional planning units for the management of an endangered Brazilian titi monkey
Conservation practices in the tropics often rely on the data available for a few, better-known species and the adoption of an appropriate spatial scale. By defining a set of landscape units that account for critical aspects of the focal species, the information available on these conservation targets can support regional conservation policies. Here, we define and classify adjacent landscapes, termed planning units, to orientate management decisio…
Geographic comparison of plant genera used in frugivory among the pitheciids Cacajao , Callicebus , Chiropotes , and Pithecia
Pitheciids are known for their frugivorous diets, but there has been no broad-scale comparison of fruit genera used by these primates that range across five geographic regions in South America. We compiled 31 fruit lists from data collected from 18 species (three Cacajao, six Callicebus, five Chiropotes, and four Pithecia) at 26 study sites in six countries. Together, these lists contained 455 plant genera from 96 families. We predicted that 1) c…
Use of sleeping sites by a titi group (Callicebus coimbrai) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Seasonal versatility in the feeding ecology of a group of titis ( Callicebus coimbrai ) in the northern Brazilian Atlantic Forest
The feeding behavior of a group of titis ( Callicebus coimbrai ) was monitored over an annual cycle at a site in northeastern Brazil. Behavioral data were collected in scan samples (1‐min scan at 5‐min intervals), and complementary data on fruit availability and new leaf cover were collected. Feeding time accounted for 28.9% of daily activity. Fruit was the principal item of the diet (61.2% of records) and the primary category in all months excep…
Line transect surveying of arboreal monkeys
Line transect surveying is a relatively rapid and efficient procedure for the assessment of primate populations; although the reliability of the resulting density estimates is affected by a number of factors, including habitat configuration. In this study, primate populations were surveyed at a highly fragmented site in northeastern Brazil, where the resident species include the endangered Coimbra‐Filho's titi, Callicebus coimbrai , and the criti…
