Reproductive Seasonality in Female Capuchins (Cebus capucinus) in Santa Rosa (Area de Conservación Guanacaste), Costa Rica (2011, background): “4) In this population of capuchins, lactating females’ energy intake rates peak ca. 8 wk after giving birth, suggesting that the most energetically demanding part of lactation for this species is the period starting on or around 8 wk postpartum (McCabe and Fedigan 2007).”
Stone tool use in wild bearded capuchin monkeys, Cebus libidinosus. Is it a strategy to overcome food scarcity? (2012, background): “Five findings indicate that in FBV capuchin monkeys do not face dramatic periods of food scarcity and that high-quality food is abundant (McCabe & Fedigan 2007).”
Nutritional goals of wild primates (2009, background): “Adult female primates often have higher energy intakes than adult males (Strier 2007), and lactation in particular demands females to ingest more energy and protein every day than at other times in their lives (e.g. McCabe & Fedigan 2007).”
Costs of group size: lower developmental and reproductive rates in larger groups of leaf monkeys (2008, background): “Even though it is not entirely clear to what degree developmental measures reflect growth, it seems likely that early infancy is particularly sensitive to the energy available via the mother (Lee 1987; McCabe and Fedigan 2007 ).”
