Genetic and behavioural repertoires support olfactory communication in wild capuchin monkeys

Muhammad Shoaib Akhtar, Nelle K. Kulick, Alice C. Poirier…·Amanda Dawn Melin

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.

Non-invasive measures of DNA methylation capture molecular aging in wild capuchin monkeys

Baptiste Sadoughi, Raquel Hernandez-Rojas, Hadjira Hamou…·Amanda Dawn Melin

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.

Sources of Variation in Fecal Haptoglobin in a Population of Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus imitator)

Raquel Hernandez-Rojas, Hadjira Hamou, Ronald Lopez Navarro…·James P. Higham

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.
