Comparisons between the four genera that make up the Atelinae reveal two distinct
behavioral patterns, one in which energy expenditure is minimized (Alouatta) and one in …

Here we review all published articles and book chapters, as well as unpublished theses and
data of Ateles geoffroyi diet to (1) summarize the literature;(2) synthesize general feeding …

In view of the extensive destruction, fragmentation, and conversion of primate habitats to
anthropogenic vegetation, information on Neotropical primate ability to use a landscape …

Tropical forests and the animals they support are being threatened by accelerating rates of
forest conversion and degradation. In a continually fluctuating sociopolitical world, it is often …

Howler monkeys (genus Alouatta) represent a successful radiation of at least nine
species†(Rylands et al., 2000). Among all Neotropical primate genera, Alouatta inhabits the …

Early studies of primates have demonstrated that many species rely heavily on fruit, and that
primates constitute a large component of the frugivore biomass in tropical forests …

Dental microwear has long been used as evidence concerning the diets of extinct species.
Here, we present a comparative baseline series of dental microwear textures for a sample of …

In this paper I consider how the costs and benefits of group living in spider monkeys (Ateles
geoffroyi) vary between troop members. The results suggest that ecological factors set an …

Remarkably little attention has been focused on the physiological ecology of free-ranging
primates. Yet without such information, it may prove difficult to advance our understanding of …

The behavioural responses of free-living baboons (Papio) to temporal and spatial variation
in resources is examined. Group foraging effort was related to per caput food availability …
