✦ Synopsis

Sleeping habits of brown capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) were studied during 19 months in French Guiana. High forest, covering 89% of the 355 ha home range of the studied group, was the only vegetal formation used for sleeping. The sleeping-focused area of 94 ha, located in the center of the home range, was more frequently used for daily activities. Twenty-six percent of the individuals spent the night in patawa palms, which account for only 0.62% of the plants of diameter at breast height 2 16.1 in the 43 1 ha quadrats used for sleeping. Three major factors seem to affect the preference of patawas as sleeping trees: security, comfort, and social contact.
