The purpose of this study was to determine gustatory thresholds for five different food-associated sugars in Ateles geofroyi. Using a two-bottle test, three adult spider monkeys were found to significantly prefer concentrations as low as 3 mM sucrose, 15 mM fructose, 20 mM glucose, and 10 mM lactose
