Nonhuman Species’ Reactions to Inequity and their Implications for Fairness (2006, background): “Baboons show cultural transmission of group standards of behavior (Papio anubis; Sapolsky and Share, 2004), and capuchin monkeys show cultural variation in feeding behavior and social traditions (Cebus capucinus; Panger et al., 2002; Perry et al., 2003a; Perry and Manson, 2003; Perry et al., 2003b).”
Interspecific Interactions Between Cebus capucinus and Other Species: Data from Three Costa Rican Sites (2003, background): “This may be an example of a socially learned or transmitted behavior or both (Perry et al., 2003), and clearly indicates flexibility in white-faced capuchin hunting techniques.”
Primate Rituals: The Function of Greetings between Male Guinea Baboons (2003, background): “For example, in studies of white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus), Perry (1997) and Perry et al. (2003) reported that individuals engaged in costly, risky social behaviors such as tail-pulling, inserting their fingers into another individual’s nose, and rubbing their faces into the body of…”
Human Culture in Evolutionary Perspective (2010, background): “…and important that behavioral traditions of this same general type have now been reported by fieldworkers investigating many other animal species, both primate and nonprimate, for example, capuchin monkeys (Perry et al., 2003 ), whales and dolphins (Rendell & Whitehead, 2001 ), among others.”
Towards a unified science of cultural evolution. (2006, background): “For example, Perry et al. (2003a; 2003b) have described several types of intimate social interactions and games, including bizarre actions like resting one’s fingers deep in companions’ mouths and noses, that have the hallmarks of local conventions among different communities of wild capuchin…”
Vocal Repertoire of Cebus capucinus: Acoustic Structure, Context, and Usage (2008, background): “In 1991–1993, adult females gargled exclusively to the α-male, and they promptly switched to gargling to the new α-male after a rank reversal ( Perry 1998 ).”
Experimental evidence for social transmission of food acquisition techniques in wild meerkats (2009, background): “Ethnographic observational studies documenting behavioural differences between populations (Whiten et al. 1999; Rendell & Whitehead 2001; Perry et al. 2003; van Schaik et al. 2003) cannot determine patterns of social transmission or exclude noncultural explanations of behavioural differences between”
