Abstract:

Many studies have documented adverse affects to inequitable situations in non-human primates. The behaviors that have predominantly been examined include food taking, collecting, giving, and refusals between the primate subjects and the experimenters. However, no studies had looked at the affective responses to inequity in primates. In a recent study, four-year old children who were rewarded inequitably accepted the reward, however they showed affective signs of dissatisfaction. For this study, we looked for affective displays in capuchins during inequitable exchange tasks. We predicted that t

Abstract:

Understanding intentionality, i.e. coding the object directedness of agents towards objects, is a fundamental component of Theory of Mind abilities. Yet it is unclear how it is perceived and coded in different species. In this thesis, we present a series of comparative studies to explore human adults' and Capuchin monkeys' ability to infer intentional objects from actions. First we studied whether capuchin monkeys and adult humans infer a potential object from observing an object-directed action. With no direct information about the goal-object, neither species inferred the object from the act

Abstract:

This thesis investigated effects of manipulative experience on tool-using ability of tufted capuchins. Two groups of capuchins were tested on variations of a tool-using task, involving use of an object as a tool to dislodge a reward from a tube. The tasks were modelled after those developed by Visalberghi and Limongelli (1994) and Visalberghi and Trinca (1989). One group of monkeys was provided the opportunity to manipulate task materials without reward; the other group was not. Experiment 1 required subjects to push a rod through the tube.

Positional behavior is the measurable and observable link between the biology and behavior of an animal in its environment.

During growth and development ontogenetic changes in body size, limb proportions, and motor skills are likely to influence locomotion and posture through the arboreal canopy.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the seemingly simple problem of how a rainforest-dwelling primate, Cebus apella libidinosus, manages to survive in the Caatinga dry forest of north-eastern Brazil, a harsh habitat that poses a series of extreme ecological challenges for survival. Albeit a simple question, it unfolds into more complex questions regarding how ecological pressures might drive brain evolution and intelligence in primates. Although there is no "best" hypothesis to explain the evolutionary brain enlargement in higher primates, fine-grained analyses of ecology, such as those presented here provid

Abstract:

In their native habitat of Central and South America, capuchin monkeys (Cebus) spend 45% to 55% of their day foraging and a further 20% travelling. Once these monkeys are introduced into captive environments their diets are selective, seasonal and presented to them by their keepers. The captive environment often leads to various behavioural abnormalities and compensatory behaviours or stereotypies. To address this issue, environmental enrichment can be employed to reduce, cure or prevent such an occurrence. Enrichment can reduce stress, while increasing animal well-being and health in captivit

Abstract:

Humans are exceptional in their willingness to and frequency with which they help one another. However, nonhuman primates also exhibit prosocial behavior. Recently, a number of laboratory studies examining prosociality among primates have yielded conflicting results. These contradictory findings may be due to a reliance on human interaction, tokens, or interactions in the direct context of food, a highly valued resource for animals. The current study examined prosocial behavior among capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) in a tool task designed to address these issues by examining whether capuchins

Humans display a global advantage when presented with hierarchical visual patterns. Conversely, capuchin monkeys show a strong local advantage.

The first study was addressed to understand the role played by stimulus redundancy on global-local processing. This study proved that both species can benefit from stimulus redundancy in processing hierarchical stimuli. Furthermore, it revealed that

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between individual differences in learning, personality, and social success in two groups of brown capuchin monkeys (Sapajus sp.) housed at the “Living Links Centre for Human Evolution” at Edinburgh Zoo, UK. Being able to learn quickly and efficiently likely helps primates achieve social success (defined here in terms of centrality within a social network), such as acquiring knowledge of others or learning social skills. Therefore, individuals that are better at learning were predicted to have greater social success than other group members. This predictio

Abstract:

Researchers in the field of social learning have suggested that certain biases may exist in whom animals learn from, creating a non-random flow of social information. A number of potential biases have been proposed based upon theoretical models, including biases to copy more dominant individuals or individuals who receive the best payoff from their behaviour, but empirical evidence for these biases is lacking. This thesis presents the first examination of dominance-based bias in a wild population of primates and of a payoff-based bias in captive capuchins. In two field experiments, dominant an

Humans have a tendency to engage in economically irrational behaviors such as gambling, which typically leads to long-term financial losses. While there has been much research on human gambling behavior, relatively little work has been done to explore the evolutionary origins of this behavior. To examine the adaptive pressures that may have led to this seemingly irrational behavior in humans, nonhuman primates were tested to explore their reactions to gambling type scenarios.

Abstract:

No estudo da cognição espacial de primatas selvagens, a capacidade de representação da localização espacial de objetivos é habitualmente inferida por mudanças no padrão de deslocamento. A maioria das pesquisas nessa área observa se existem variações na linearidade e velocidade, em função do objetivo. Contudo, poucas pesquisas têm estudado se outros fatores poderiam afetar esses padrões, como variáveis climáticas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar se variações em precipitação e temperatura modificam os padrões de deslocamento de um grupo de macacos-prego da Mata Atlântica. Os macacos fora

Abstract:

O comportamento observado de animais não humanos sugere processamento de informação e tomada de decisão. Diferentes espécies exibem diferenças qualitativas quando a como informação é processada e utilizada, parcialmente graças ao contexto ecológico. Macacos-prego são animais que forrageiam socialmente, com cada indivíduo vivendo em um contexto social distinto, o que afeta suas oportunidades de alimentar-se. O presente projeto propôs um experimento de campo, com plataformas de madeira e amendoins como recompensa, com o objetivo de identificar diferenças quanto à estratégia de forrageio. Ainda,

Abstract:

A sobrevivência e o sucesso reprodutivo de um indivíduo estão diretamente relacionados à sua capacidade de atender à demanda por nutrientes e energia. Estudos em Ecologia Nutricional, que adotam o Modelo Geométrico para nutrição, evidenciam que, mais do que maximizar a ingestão de energia, os animais procuram regular a ingestão de múltiplos nutrientes de maneira independente, almejando um balanço específico entre esses nutrientes. Neste trabalho, empregamos análises de conteúdo nutricional e o Modelo Geométrico para investigar os parâmetros nutricionais da dieta de duas populações de macacos-p

Abstract:

Grupos de primatas podem ser caracterizados quanto à organização social, que diz respeito a tamanho, razão sexual e dispersão espaço temporal entre os indivíduos. A dispersão refere-se à distância mantida entre os membros de um grupo social. A variação na distância entre os indivíduos permite ao grupo se adaptar de forma dinâmica à flutuação na distribuição de riscos e recursos no ambiente, e também é uma importante característica de uma dinâmica de fissão e fusão. Trabalhos realizados com macacos-prego em área de Mata Atlântica sugerem que eles podem forragear em subgrupos em resposta à dimin

Abstract:

O uso de ferramentas para a quebra de frutos encapsulados requer a associação de três elementos: o fruto encapsulado; o martelo, uma pedra ou tronco de árvore resistente solto, o qual o animal consegue carregar e levantar; e a bigorna, uma superfície rígida e fixa. Este estudo dá continuidade às pesquisas que vêm sendo desenvolvidas com um grupo de macacos-prego (Sapajus sp.) em semi-liberdade do Parque Ecológico do Tietê. Dividimos este estudo em duas etapas principais (#1 e #2), e uma paralela (#1B). Na Etapa 1, buscamos analisar se os macacos-prego exibem um padrão na organização das sequên

Introdução: A urocortina 3 (UCN 3) é um neuropeptídeo pertencente a família CRF, com seletividade de ligação a receptor CRF2. Em roedores as células UCN 3 se localizam principalmente em hipotálamo e amígdala, mas o mapeamento não foi realizado em modelo de primata não-humano. Objetivo: realizar o mapeamento da distribuição da UCN 3 no sistema nervoso central na espécie Cebus apella. Material e métodos: cortes de encéfalo de animais machos foram submetidos aos métodos de imuno-histoquímica e hibridização in situ para UCN 3.

A visão de cores é possível devido aos diferentes tipos de fotorreceptores e ao processamento pós-receptoral da informação gerada após ativação destas células pela luz. Análises genéticas, funcionais e morfológicas podem ser utilizadas no estudo da visão de cores. Neste trabalho, foram estudadas a genética dos pigmentos visuais de macacos do gênero Cebus e a genética e a psicofísica da visão de cores de humanos com e sem discromatopsias hereditárias. O sequenciamento dos genes que expressam as opsinas presentes nos cones L e M foi realizado em dois grupos de macacos-prego mantidos na UFRJ e na

Abstract:

O modelo de demanda da dieta é baseado na premissa de que a morfologia desenvolve-se em resposta à pressão evolutiva causada pelos desafios dos componentes da dieta. Dessa forma, o estudo da ecologia alimentar é importante para entender a adaptação morfológica crânio-facial. Este modelo prevê que ou os tecidos com maior demanda mecânica, independente da frequência de uso, ou os alimentos consumidos com maior frequência, seriam a força seletiva primária na seleção de características morfológicas relacionadas à mastigação. Por essa perspectiva, as propriedades físicas dos alimentos são a princip

Abstract:

Atualmente há uma grande preocupação ética em promover o bem-estar de animais cativos e semi-cativos. Uma das formas mais eficientes de se fazer isso é aplicar técnicas de enriquecimento ambiental. Para avaliar sua eficácia, a abordagem da etologia se encaixa ao utilizarmos estímulos ambientais e analisarmos as mudanças comportamentais causadas por eles, correlacionando com possíveis funções adaptativas. Este trabalho analisou a influência de um método de enriquecimento ambiental sequencial e cumulativo no comportamento de 27 indivíduos de um grupo de macacos-prego (Sapajus sp) semi-cativos no
