Competition and Facilitation in the Capuchin–Squirrel Monkey Relationship

TL;DR: Interspecific interactions such as competition between species of Cebus and facilitation between C. apella and S. sciureus were as important as habitat and fruit availability in determining the distribution and abundance of these primates.

An Eight-Year Life History of a Primate Community in the Colombian Llanos

TL;DR: In this paper, an eight-year study of primate density monitoring was conducted in five forest fragments of different sizes in San Martin, Colombian Llanos, where direct visual contacts were made in small (1-10 ha) and medium (10-100 ha) fragments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small but wise: Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) use acoustic signals as cues to avoid interactions with blonde capuchin monkeys (Sapajus flavius).

TL;DR: Investigation of eavesdropping and how acoustic signals may mediate interactions between two sympatric and endemic primate species in a fragment of Atlantic Rainforest in Northeastern Brazil suggests common marmoset responses to blonde capuchin calls suggests that the latter is a potential predator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dense understory and absence of capuchin monkeys (Sapajus xanthosternos) predict higher density of common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) in the Brazilian Northeast.

TL;DR: The analysis indicated that the marmosets prefer forests with denser understory, whether or not they are secondary habitats, and the negative effect of the presence of capuchins may be related to predation pressure.

Owl monkeys Aotus spp in the wild and in captivity

TL;DR: A truly integrated laboratory–field approach that focuses on certain areas that cannot be examined in only one or the other setting (e.g. reproductive biology, communication, energetics) will offer unique opportunities for synergistic interactions between zoo and field research that will have both intellectual and practical benefits.

Begging and transfer of coati meat by white-faced capuchin monkeys,Cebus capucinus

TL;DR: White-faced capuchin monkeys were frequently observed to raid the nests and predate the pups of coatis at two study sites, and carcass theft was more likely to occur when the thief was higher ranking than the carcass owner.

Primates of Colombia

TL;DR: The Primates of Colombia field guide as discussed by the authors is the result of field work conducted on Colombian primates both in and out of the country and includes twenty-eight primate species comprising forty-three taxa, of which fifteen taxa are only found in Colombia.
