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.

This study shows that DNA methylation from fecal samples accurately reflects molecular aging in wild capuchin monkeys, revealing age-related epigenetic changes linked to cellular damage and inflammation.

This study validates fecal haptoglobin as a biomarker of inflammation in wild capuchin monkeys and finds environmental factors, not demographic or circadian variables, influence its concentrations.

This study examines MHC heterozygosity's role in siring success among white-faced capuchin monkeys, finding that subordinate males with MHC diversity sire more offspring when related to alpha males.

This study uses fecal proteomics to show how season, diet, age, and sex affect gut physiology in wild capuchins.
