Predicting the frequency of food-related agonism in white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus), using a novel focal-tree method

Article Abstract:

A novel focal-tree method that measures resource availability on a scale that is both spatially and temporally relevant to the animal is used for predicting the frequency of food-related agonism in white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus). The results have shown that the amount of food-related aggression in white-faced capuchins can be predicted by variables that have represented the costs and benefits of contesting a food resource.

Characterizing gastrointestinal transit time in four lemur species using barium-impregnated polyethylene spheres (BIPS)

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to characterize the dietary profiles and gastrointestinal morphologies in four lemur species with the help of radio-opaque barium-impregnated polyethylene spheres (BIPS). The findings indicate that the gastric transit time (GTT) of digest as measured BIPS is rapid for varecia variegata (VV), eulemur fulvus (EF) and Hapalemur griseus (HG).
