• Social Conventions in Wild White‐faced Capuchin Monkeys (2003, methodology): “…during foraging and sometimes share food (de Waal 1997, 2000; Perry and Rose 1994), they are skilled tool users (Urbani 1999,Visalberghi 1990, Ottoni and Mannu 2001, Boinski 1988, Westergaard 1994, Westergaard and Suomi 1995), they engage in nonconceptive sex in all age-sex combinations…”
• Bearded capuchin monkeys' and a human's efficiency at cracking palm nuts with stone tools: field experiments (2010, background): “At other sites, capuchins crack much smaller items than the nuts we presented, using smaller stones (Ottoni & Mannu 2001; Mannu & Ottoni 2009; Canale et al. 2009).”
• Stone tool use in wild bearded capuchin monkeys, Cebus libidinosus. Is it a strategy to overcome food scarcity? (2012, background): “Conversely, there is evidence of percussive tool use in provisioned groups living in captivity (reviewed in Visalberghi & Fragaszy, 2012), in semifree-ranging conditions (e.g. Tietê Ecological Park, São Paulo, Brazil, Ottoni & Mannu 2001; Brasilia National Park, Brasilia, Brazil, Waga et al. 2006) a”
• How wild bearded capuchin monkeys select stones and nuts to minimize the number of strikes per nut cracked (2010, background): “Capuchins may also detect something about relative density by tapping hard surfaces, which they commonly do while foraging for hidden invertebrate prey (e.g. in dead branches: Fragaszy 1986; Phillips et al. 2003; in tree trunks: Ottoni & Mannu 2001; in bamboo stalks: Gunst et al. 2008).”
