Maternal ranging strategies facilitate offspring social play at energetic cost in the most solitary ape

The paper shows orangutan mothers adjust their ranging behavior to increase offspring social play, at an energetic cost.

Genetic and behavioural repertoires support olfactory communication in wild capuchin monkeys

This study examines VR gene repertoires and olfactory behaviors in wild capuchin monkeys, finding evolutionary constraint on VRs and a diverse set of olfactory behaviors suggesting a role in social communication.

The vocal repertoire of white-nosed coatis: structural features, temporal dynamics, and social variations

This study identifies 19 call types in white-nosed coatis, revealing structural, temporal, and social variations in their vocal repertoire.

Kinship, acoustic signaling, and socio-spatial structure shape shared decisions and social influence in white-nosed coatis

The paper examines how kinship, acoustic signaling, and socio-spatial structure affect decision-making and social influence in white-nosed coatis, finding that majority support and proximity to leaders shape group decisions.

Development and social dynamics of stone tool use in wild white-faced capuchin monkeys

This study examines how white-faced capuchin monkeys develop stone tool use skills in a population with limited social learning opportunities, finding that juveniles are less proficient than adults but show stable skill development over time.

Vocal coordination and conflict avoidance shape fission-fusion dynamics in white-nosed coatis

This study identifies vocal coordination and conflict avoidance as drivers of fission-fusion dynamics in white-nosed coatis by analyzing subgrouping events and vocalizations.

Environmental fluctuations alter the competitive trade-offs of group size in a social primate

The paper shows how environmental changes affect competition between and within groups of capuchin monkeys, altering their space use and foraging strategies.

White-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator) exhibit selectivity for stone tools

The paper studies stone tool selectivity in white-faced capuchin monkeys to infer archaeological signatures of tool use in primates and humans.

Magellanic penguins balance navigation with foraging opportunities in complex current regimes

Magellanic penguins adjust their navigation strategies to balance energy efficiency and foraging opportunities in response to tidal currents.

Consistent long-distance foraging flights across years and seasons at colony level in a Neotropical bat

The paper tracks foraging behavior in bats across seasons and finds consistent long-distance foraging to shared, colony-specific sites, suggesting culturally transmitted preferences.
