✦ Synopsis

We present data on weight and reproduction from a colony of tufted capuchins monkeys (Cebus apella) over a 12 year period. The data constitute a normative record for this species. Weight at birth averages 210 g, and infants gain weight rapidly. Females typically first conceived just after their fifth birthday, and males were fertile by 4 years, 5 months. Interbirth intervals average 576 days. Eighty-seven percent of live-born infants survived past 6 months. Three of eight live-born infants that died prior to 6 months succumbed from trauma inflicted by cage mates. Am.

We investigated the development of lateral bias in infant tufted capuchins (Cebus apella) by recording head orientation during the first 2 postnatal weeks and hand preference during Weeks 23 to 24 and 47 to 48. We found that lateral bias for head orientation at 1 to 2 weeks was negatively related to

This display has not been observed in any other agehex class. To investigate this, we deliberately separated six animals, in

The characteristics and availability of the sleeping sites used by a group of 27 tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella nigritus) were studied during 17 months at the Iguazu National Park, Argentina. We tested different hypotheses regarding possible ultimate causes of sleeping-site selection. Most sl
