Reproductive Seasonality in Female Capuchins (Cebus capucinus) in Santa Rosa (Area de Conservación Guanacaste), Costa Rica (2011, background): “One year is considered the critical length of survival because the majority of infant deaths occur during the first year of life (Fedigan 2003; Fedigan et al. 2008), and because at 1 yr, infants are beginning to be weaned and the loss of an infant at that age would not affect the mother’s…”
Male dispersal patterns in white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus Part 1: patterns and causes of natal emigration (2004, background): “1996) from 72 known births that occurred in the study population between 1985 and May 2000 (Fedigan 2003).”
Male dispersal patterns in white-faced capuchins, Cebus capucinus Part 2: patterns and causes of secondary dispersal (2004, methodology): “In this species, these aggressive take-overs have been observed to result in the deaths or disappearances of both resident males and females (Fedigan 1993), and infanticides are also common in the year following a group take-over (Fedigan 2003).”
Use of overlap zones among group-living primates: a test of the risk hypothesis (2007, background): “As at other sites, males play a prominent role in intergroup encounters, which are uniformly agonistic, including both high-intensity chases and direct attacks (Rose & Fedigan, 1995; Perry, 1996; Fedigan, 2003; Crofoot, 2007, this issue).”
