Book excerpt: Answers to many of the most important questions about the evolution of primate social strategies still elude us, due to the difficulties in extracting information about primates' decision-making processes and the fitness consequences of their behavioral choices. These sorts of questions cannot be answered experimentally: the answers must be inferred from the behavioral patterns of wild populations in long-term studies. It is only now that sufficiently sophisticated methods are being developed to allow us to make precise inferences from these messy observational data sets. In this thesis I will ask questions about how wild primates make decisions about allocations of favors to social partners, and about the fitness consequences of their behavioral choices. In the following chapters, I examined: (1) reciprocity in capuchin monkeys' social relationships; (2) the relationship between adult female capuchins' sociality and longevity; and (3) the decision rules that capuchins use when soliciting an ally in a coalitionary fight. I used behavioral, genetic, and demographic data of wild white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus). The data came from 11 capuchin social groups and were collected over a 19-year period at Lomas Barbudal Biological Reserve and surrounding private lands in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. To answer the questions above, I used innovative statistical techniques currently unrepresented in the primatological literature. To analyze reciprocity and the fitness benefits of dyadic relationships, I used the Social Relations Model (Kenny 1994). To model capuchin monkey choices of allies in coalitionary aggression, I employed conditional logistic regression. Both of these modeling techniques allow me to take into account the particularities of a dataset collected in the wild. My findings show that capuchin monkeys reciprocate in grooming and coalitionary support exchanges. When choosing allies in coalitionary aggression, capuchins use both rank and relationship quality of the potential partner to make a decision. Finally, sociality is associated with fitness outcomes in female capuchins: More social females tend to live longer than less social ones. Together, these chapters will provide insights into capuchin monkeys' social relationships, decision making and social relationships' effects on fitness.
Download or read book Living New World Monkeys Platyrrhini Volume 1 written by Philip Hershkovitz and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1977-12-01 with total page 1132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this long-awaited work, Philip Hershkovitz provides the most thorough and comprehensive treatise ever published on New World monkeys. The volume gives a detailed account of the origin, evolution, dispersal, and behavior of platyrrhines and a systematic arrangement of all known forms, living and extinct. During an eleven-year period, Hershkovitz examined more than 3,100 museum-preserved specimens and relevant primate fossils and observed hundreds of animals in captivity and thousands in the wild state. He presents his results in an elegant and encyclopedic text, lavishly illustrated with 520 figures and 7 color plates. Hershkovitz opens the study with a brief history and a definition, characterization, and comparison of primates as a taxonomic unit. Basing his work on nearly all known genera of living primates, the author deals with New World monkeys from comparative anatomical and evolutionary points of view. He examines display characters, pelage, the evolution of color patterns, primate locomotion, cranial and dental morphology, and the central nervous system. The final and most extensive part of the volume is devoted to the taxonomy and biology of the family Callitrichidae, comprising marmosets and tamarins, and the family Callimiconidae, represented by the callimico alone. Hershkovitz concludes with an exhaustive bibliography of more than 2,500 published works and a gazetteer of essential geographic data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings a unique perspective to animal movement studies because all cases came from tropical environments where the great diversity, either biological and structurally (trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes), presents the animal with several options to fulfill its live requirements. These conditions have forced the evolution of unique movement patterns and ecological strategies. Movement is an essential process in the life of all organisms. Animals move because they are hungry, thirsty, to avoid being eaten, or because they want to find mates. Understanding the causes and consequences of animal movement is not an easy task for behavioural ecologists. Many animals are shy, move in secretive ways and are very sensible to human presence, therefore, studying the movements of mammals in tropical environments present logistical and methodological challenges that have recently started to be solved by ecologist around the world. In this book we are compiling a set of extraordinary cases where researchers have used some of the modern technology and the strongest methodological approaches to understand movement patterns in wild tropical mammals. We hope this book will inspire and encourage young researchers to investigate wild mammal ́s movements in some of the amazing tropical environments of the world.
