Anatomy and dietary specialization influence sensory behaviour among sympatric primates

Melin, Amanda D.; Veilleux, Carrie C.; Janiak, Mareike C.; Hiramatsu, Chihiro; Sánchez-Solano, Karem G.; Lundeen, Ingrid K.; Webb, Shasta E.; Williamson, Rachel E.; Mah, Megan A.; Murillo-Chacon, Evin; Schaffner, Colleen M.; Hernández-Salazar, Laura; Aureli, Filippo; Kawamura, Shoji (The Royal Society, 2022-08-31)

Senses form the interface between animals and environments, and provide a window into the ecology of past and present species. However, research on sensory behaviours by wild frugivores is sparse. Here, we examine fruit ...
Can color vision variation explain sex differences in invertebrate foraging by capuchin monkeys?

Melin, Amanda D.; Fedigan, Linda M.; Young, Hilary C.; Kawamura, Shoji (2010-02-18)

Invertebrates are the main source of protein for many small-to-medium sized monkeys. Prey vary in size, mobility, degree of protective covering, and use of the forest, i.e. canopy height, and whether they are exposed or ...
Evolution of the primate glutamate taste sensor from a nucleotide sensor

Toda, Yasuka; Hayakawa, Takashi; Itoigawa, Akihiro; Kurihara, Yosuke; Nakagita, Tomoya; Hayashi, Masahiro; Ashino, Ryuichi; Melin, Amanda D.; Ishimaru, Yoshiro; Kawamura, Shoji; Imai, Hiroo; Misaka, Takumi (Elsevier BV, 2021-10)
Evolutionary renovation of<scp>L</scp>/<scp>M</scp>opsin polymorphism confers a fruit discrimination advantage to ateline<scp>N</scp>ew<scp>W</scp>orld monkeys

Matsumoto, Yoshifumi; Hiramatsu, Chihiro; Matsushita, Yuka; Ozawa, Norihiro; Ashino, Ryuichi; Nakata, Makiko; Kasagi, Satoshi; Di Fiore, Anthony; Schaffner, Colleen M.; Aureli, Filippo; Melin, Amanda D.; Kawamura, Shoji (Wiley, 2014-04)

New World monkeys exhibit prominent colour vision variation due to allelic polymor- phism of the long-to-middle wavelength (L/M) opsin gene. The known spectral varia- tion of L/M opsins in primates is broadly determined ...
Infant cannibalism in wild white‐faced capuchin monkeys

Nishikawa, Mari; Ferrero, Nuria; Cheves, Saul; Lopez, Ronald; Kawamura, Shoji; Fedigan, Linda M.; Melin, Amanda D.; Jack, Katharine M. (Wiley, 2020-12)

Cannibalism has been observed in a variety of animal taxa; however, it is relatively uncommon in primates. Thus, we rely heavily on case reports of this behavior to advance our understanding of the contexts under which it ...
Infanticides during periods of social stability: kinship, resumption of ovarian cycling, and mating access in white-faced capuchins (<i>Cebus capucinus</i>)

Schoof, Valérie A. M.; Wikberg, Eva C.; Jack, Katharine M.; Fedigan, Linda M.; Ziegler, Toni E.; Kawamura, Shoji (Re:wild, 2014-12-01)
Paternal kin recognition and infant care in white‐faced capuchins (<i>Cebus capucinus</i>)

Sargeant, Elizabeth J.; Wikberg, Eva C.; Kawamura, Shoji; Jack, Katharine M.; Fedigan, Linda M. (Wiley, 2016-06)

Evidence for paternal kin recognition and paternally biased behaviors is mixed among primates. We investigate whether infant handling behaviors exhibit paternal kin biases in wild white‐faced capuchins monkeys (Cebus ...
Primate life history, social dynamics, ecology, and conservation: Contributions from long‐term research in Área de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Melin, Amanda D.; Hogan, Jeremy D.; Campos, Fernando A.; Wikberg, Eva; King‐Bailey, Gillian; Webb, Shasta; Kalbitzer, Urs; Asensio, Norberto; Murillo‐Chacon, Evin; Cheves Hernandez, Saul; Guadamuz Chavarria, Adrian; Schaffner, Colleen M.; Kawamura, Shoji; Aureli, Filippo; Fedigan, Linda; Jack, Katharine M. (Wiley, 2020-11)

Research on non-human primates in the endangered tropical dry forest of Sector Santa Rosa (SSR), Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG), was launched in 1983 and is now one of the longest running studies of primates globally. ...
Should I stay or should I go now: dispersal decisions and reproductive success in male white-faced capuchins (Cebus imitator)

Wikberg, Eva C.; Jack, Katharine M.; Campos, Fernando A.; Bergstrom, Mackenzie L.; Kawamura, Shoji; Fedigan, Linda M. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-07)

Although males often disperse to increase their immediate access to mates, it is unclear whether they also consider potential future reproductive opportunities. We investigated whether immediate or delayed reproductive ...
The genomics of ecological flexibility, large brains, and long lives in capuchin monkeys revealed with fecalFACS

Orkin, Joseph D.; Montague, Michael J.; Tejada-Martinez, Daniela; de Manuel, Marc; del Campo, Javier; Hernandez, Saul Cheves; Di Fiore, Anthony; Fontsere, Claudia; Hodgson, Jason A.; Janiak, Mareike C.; Kuderna, Lukas F. K.; Lizano, Esther; Martin, Maria Pia; Niimura, Yoshihito; Perry, George H.; Soto Valverde, Carmen; Tang, Jia; Warren, Wesley C.; de Magalhães, João Pedro; Kawamura, Shoji; Marquès-Bonet, Tomàs; Krawetz, Roman; Melin, Amanda D. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021-08-24)

Ecological flexibility, extended lifespans, and large brains have long intrigued evolutionary biologists, and comparative genomics offers an efficient and effective tool for generating new insights into the evolution of ...
The Heterozygote Superiority Hypothesis for Polymorphic Color Vision Is Not Supported by Long-Term Fitness Data from Wild Neotropical Monkeys

Fedigan, Linda M.; Melin, Amanda D.; Addicott, John F.; Kawamura, Shoji (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-01-03)

The leading explanatory model for the widespread occurrence of color vision polymorphism in Neotropical primates is the heterozygote superiority hypothesis, which postulates that trichromatic individuals have a fitness ...
