Journal ArticleDOI
The ecological role of the callitrichidae: a review.
TL;DR: It is believed that the marmosets and tamarins are members of a guild of exudate feeders in which plant exudates are an important component of the diet and within this framework of a primate foraging guild that they can best understand many of their morphological and behavioral adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary and dental adaptations in the Pitheciinae.
TL;DR: The dentitions of fossil pitheciins, Soriacebus and Cebupithecia, demonstrate that the hypertrophy of lower incisors plus the robustness and flaring of the canine precede development of low cusp relief on molars and premolars in the evolution of morphological features associated with sclerocarpic foraging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hardness as a basis of fruit choice in two sympatric primates
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hardness of both fruit pericarp and seed may play a significant role in food choice among sympatric vertebrates and in studies of mammalian foraging behavior.
Book
New world primates : ecology, evolution, and behavior
TL;DR: This book, whose contributors are leading experts on various aspects of New World monkeys, explores the tremendous diversity to be found among neotropical primate species that have adapted to the highly varied Central and South American ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and chemical properties of fruit and seeds eaten byPithecia andChiropotes in Surinam and Venezuela
TL;DR: It is proposed that sclerocarpic harvesting (the preparation and ingestion of fruit with a hard pericarp) allows pitheciin monkeys to obtain nutritious seeds, with reduced tannins, that are softer than those ingested by other frugivores.
