• How wild bearded capuchin monkeys select stones and nuts to minimize the number of strikes per nut cracked (2010, methodology): “It takes fewer strikes to open a section of an already-cracked piaçava nut (X ¼ 22 partial nuts opened per 100 strikes) than to open a whole nut (X ¼ less than 5 nuts opened per 100 strikes; Fragaszy et al. 2010).”
• Stone tool use in wild bearded capuchin monkeys, Cebus libidinosus. Is it a strategy to overcome food scarcity? (2012, background): “From June 2006 to April 2008, this group visited the field laboratory 53.5% of the days that it was followed.”
