Journal ArticleDOI
Brown spider monkeys (Ateles hybridus): a model for differentiating the role of social networks and physical contact on parasite transmission dynamics.
Rebecca Rimbach,Donal Bisanzio,Nelson Galvis,Andrés Link,Anthony Di Fiore,Thomas R. Gillespie +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that among brown spider monkeys, physical contact impacts the spread of several common parasites and supports the idea that pathogen transmission is one cost associated with social contact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social Behavior, Reproductive Strategies, and Population Genetic Structure of Lagothrix poeppigii
TL;DR: The genetic results indicate that, as in other atelins, dispersal by females is common, but some male dispersal likely occurs as well, and that direct female-female competition is an important feature of woolly monkey reproductive biology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hedging their bets? Male and female chacma baboons form friendships based on likelihood of paternity
Liza R. Moscovice,Anthony Di Fiore,Catherine Crockford,Dawn M. Kitchen,Roman M. Wittig,Robert M. Seyfarth,Dorothy L. Cheney +6 more
TL;DR: In chacma baboons (Papio hamadryas ursinus), adult males and lactating females form preferential associations, or ‘friendships’, that provide protection against potentially infanticidal attacks.
Book ChapterDOI
Spider Monkeys: Diets of wild spider monkeys
TL;DR: The physiological and morphological adaptations for frugivory that spider monkeys have evolved, as well as the connections among diet, food resource distribution and foraging behavior that are relevant to understanding the characteristic “fission–fusion” social organization of Ateles are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Special issue: Comparative biogeography of Neotropical primates.
TL;DR: It is suggested that most primates currently inhabiting drier open habitats are relatively recent arrivals, having expanded from rainforest habitats in the Pleistocene.
