Multistep Routes of Capuchin Monkeys in a Laser Pointer Traveling
American Journal of Primatology 76:828–841 (2014) RESEARCH ARTICLE Multi‐Step Routes of Capuchin Monkeys in a Laser Pointer Traveling Salesman Task ALLISON M. HOWARD* AND DOROTHY M. FRAGASZY Department of Psychology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia Prior studies have claimed that nonhuman primates plan their routes multiple steps in advance. However, a recent reexamination of multi‐step route planning in nonhuman primates indicated that there is no evidence for planning more than one step ahead. We tested multi‐step route planning in capuchin monkeys using a pointing device to “travel” to distal targets while stationary. This device enabled us to determine whether capuchins distinguish the spatial relationship between goals and themselves and spatial relationships between goals and the laser dot, allocentrically. In Experiment 1, two subjects were presented with identical food items in Near‐Far (one item nearer to subject) and Equidistant (both items equidistant from subject) conditions with a laser dot visible between the items. Subjects moved the laser dot to the items using a joystick. In the Near‐Far condition, one subject demonstrated a bias for items closest to self but the other subject chose efficiently. In the second experiment, subjects retrieved three food items in similar Near‐Far and Equidistant arrangements. Both subjects preferred food items nearest the laser dot and showed no evidence of multi‐step route planning. We conclude that these capuchins do not make choices on the basis of multi‐step look ahead strategies. Am. J. Primatol. 76:828–841, 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Between Species: Choreographing Human And
BETWEEN SPECIES: CHOREOGRAPHING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BODIES JONATHAN OSBORN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN DANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY, 2019 ã Jonathan Osborn, 2019 Abstract BETWEEN SPECIES: CHOREOGRAPHING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BODIES is a dissertation project informed by practice-led and practice-based modes of engagement, which approaches the space of the zoo as a multispecies, choreographic, affective assemblage. Drawing from critical scholarship in dance literature, zoo studies, human-animal studies, posthuman philosophy, and experiential/somatic field studies, this work utilizes choreographic engagement, with the topography and inhabitants of the Toronto Zoo and the Berlin Zoologischer Garten, to investigate the potential for kinaesthetic exchanges between human and nonhuman subjects. In tracing these exchanges, BETWEEN SPECIES documents the creation of the zoomorphic choreographic works ARK and ARCHE and creatively mediates on: more-than-human choreography; the curatorial paradigms, embodied practices, and forms of zoological gardens; the staging of human and nonhuman bodies and bodies of knowledge; the resonances and dissonances between ethological research and dance ethnography; and, the anthropocentric constitution of the field of dance studies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the glowing memory of my nana, Patricia Maltby, who, through her relentless love and fervent belief in my potential, elegantly willed me into another phase of life, while she passed, with dignity and calm, into another realm of existence. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my phenomenal supervisor Dr. Barbara Sellers-Young and my amazing committee members Dr. -

www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Assessment of genetic variability in captive capuchin monkeys (Primates: Cebidae) Mariela Nieves1,2*, María Isabel Remis2,3, Carla Sesarini1, Diana Lucrecia Hassel4, Carina Francisca Argüelles4 & Marta Dolores Mudry1,2 Capuchin monkeys (genera Cebus and Sapajus) show a wide range distribution, from Honduras to Argentina. The aim of this work was to evaluate the genetic and phenotypic variability of captive specimens putatively belonging to S. cay (SCY) and S. nigritus (SNI) at their southernmost distribution limit. Forty-four individuals held in fve captive centers from Argentina were analyzed based on external morphology, karyology and DNA sequences of mitochondrial control region (mtDNA-CR). Three morphotypes associated with their probable geographical origin in SCY and a single morphotype in SNI were found. For SCY we could associate each morphotype with the most frequent karyotype. SNI showed a single phenotype and a homogenous karyotype. Heterochromatin showed geographical patterns within species. A 515-bp mtDNA-CR fragment was sequenced, defning fourteen haplotypes at 59 polymorphic sites. A network constructed with our 14 haplotypes and other 77 from S. apella, S. macrocephalus, S. cay and S. nigritus from bibliography revealed some phylogeographic signals. Our SCY and SNI samples rendered four groups that difered in multiple mutational steps, with SCY being more similar to S. apella than to S. macrocephalus. Also, we identifed two genetic divergent SCY groups: samples from NOA and from NEA with high mitochondrial diversity. Our results highlight the relevance of using complementary genetic tools throughout the distribution ranges of SCY and SNI for a better assessment of their diversity. -

However, adaptability and variation of social behavior may be constrained by conservative adaptations and by phylogenetic inertia. The comparative study of closely related species can help to identify the relative contribution of ecological and of genetic determinants to primate social systems. We compared ecological features and social behavior of two species of the genus Sapajus, S. nigritus in Carlos Botelho State Park, an area of Atlantic Forest in Sa˜o Paulo state, and S. libidinosus in Fazenda Boa Vista, a semi-arid habitat in Piauı´ state, Brazil. S. libidinosus perceived higher predation risk and fed on clumped, high quality, and usurpable resources (fruits) all year round, whereas S. nigritus perceived lower predation risk and relied on evenly distributed, low-quality food sources (leaves) during periods of fruit shortage. -

White Fronted Capuchin Monkey
Husbandry Guidelines for White Fronted Capuchin Monkey Mammalia: Primates: Cebidae Cebus albifrons Author: Kate Littlefield Date of Preparation: August 2008- November 2009 Western Sydney Institute of TAFE, Richmond Course Name and No.: Captive Animal Management 1068 Lecturer: Graeme Phipps. DISCLAIMER These husbandry guidelines were produced by the compiler/author at TAFE NSW – Western Sydney Institute, Richmond College, N.S.W. Australia as part assessment for completion of Certificate III in Captive Animals, Course number 1068. Since the husbandry guidelines are the result of student project work, care should be taken in the interpretation of information therein, - in effect, all care taken but no responsibility is assumed for any loss or damage that may result from the use of these guidelines. It is offered to the ASZK Husbandry Manuals Register for the benefit of animal welfare and care. Husbandry guidelines are utility documents and are ‘works in progress’, so enhancements to these guidelines are invited. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS Caution should always be taken when dealing with any member of the genus Cebus. They are classed as hazardous and therefore have the potential to severely injure humans. Please take note of the following risks; Cebus possess powerful jaws in comparison to their size, very strong, sharp teeth and can cause severe injuries through their bite. Those living in developed social groups can present an ever larger risk to humans if they attack as a troupe, which in large numbers has the potential to cause serious injuries including multiple lacerations and fractures. Always be cautious when working below capuchins as they often pick up objects and drop or throw them deliberately at someone or something. -

Notas sobre [correspondence: [email protected]] Mamíferos Sudamericanos 3:e21.2.6. ABSTRACT An infanticide is a rare event but has important impact in primate populations. The black-horned capuchin monkey, Sapajus nigritus, is a native species from the Atlantic Forest. Previous reports of infanticide in this species are explained with the ‘sexual-selection’ hypothesis, and occur in large groups and after a dominant male replacement. Here we provide evidence of a new case of infanticide by a non-identified member of a wild group of S. nigritus, in a remnant of the Atlantic Forest under anthropogenic disturbance. Our study group (30-35 individuals) overlapped its home range with other species’ groups in an isolated forest fragment (570 ha). This primate overcrowding in a small area may have increased social intolerance and aggression. -
