TL;DR: This book discusses capuchins in Nature, their taxonomy and distribution with Anthony Rylands, and their role in community ecology and behavioural psychology.

TL;DR: It is suggested that increases in absolute brain size provided the biological foundation for evolutionary increases in self-control, and implicate species differences in feeding ecology as a potential selective pressure favoring these skills.

TL;DR: In young children food acceptance is promoted by specific social influences, and data indicate that children are more likely to eat new food if others are eating the same type of food than when others are merely present or eating another kind of food.

TL;DR: An exploratory investigation in an area where nut‐cracking by wild capuchin monkeys is common knowledge among local residents finds physical evidence that monkeys cracked nuts on rock outcrops, boulders, and logs (collectively termed anvils).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted an exploratory investigation in an area where nut-cracking by wild capuchin monkeys is common knowledge among local residents and found physical evidence that monkeys cracked nuts on rock outcrops, boulders, and logs (collectively termed anvils).
