The Social Behavior of Rehabilitated Spider Monkeys (<i>Ateles geoffroyi</i>)
… including wild spider monkeys (genus <em>Ateles</em>), use these mechanisms flexibly to cope with social and environmental stressors. I investigated whether or not captive black-handed spider monkeys (<em>Ateles geoffroyi</em>) use behavioral strategies to cope with potential stressors in …

Diversidad genética de Ateles geoffroyi en el paisaje fragmentado de la Bahía de Jiquilísco
El “mono araña” (Ateles geoffroyi) es el único primate no humano presente en El Salvador. Estos primates son particularmente sensibles a amenazas antropogénicas y susceptibles a eventos de aislamiento, debido a que requiere un hábitat amplio y poco perturbado. En el país, su distribución geográfica …

Investigations into the properties of mistletoe leaves, Phoradendron spp. (Viscaceae) and geophagic material consumed by Ateles geoffroyi (Atelidae) at sites within the Santa Rosa National Park, Costa Rica
… arose because of the desire by the resident Ateles research observers, at Santa Rosa, to attempt to ascertain a function for what they deemed ‘uncharacteristic’ behaviours. The following were important considerations meriting further investigation.o Phoradendron (mistletoe) consumption by …

Functional Information in Individual Anterior Tarsal Bones of Anthropoids
… anterior tarsal variables and their ratios for Ateles, Cebus, Colobus, Gorilla, Homo, Hylobates, Mandrillus, Pan, Papio, Pongo, Presbytis, Symphalangus, and Theropithecus demonstrate that specializations have been impressed in their shape. Although morphologically conservative, the external …

Linking Spatial Patterns of Seed Dispersal and Plant Recruitment in a Neotropical Tree, Virola Calophylla (Myristicaceae)
… seeds, one primate species (the spider monkey, Ateles paniscus) dispersed 92% of all dispersed seeds. Dispersal agents responded differently to some tree and fruit traits, indicating that dispersal agents can exert selection on traits affecting seed dispersal, but that the resulting selection …

For Logs, For Traditional Purposes and For Food: Identification of Multiple-Use Plant Species of Northern Amazonia and an Assessment of Factors Associated with Their Distribution
… plants fruits and seeds - spider monkeys (Ateles paniscus), was closely related to the distribution of their food sources. My results show that land-use change impacting multiple-use plants will have implications for wildlife, and as a consequence traditional activities of forest dwelling …

Using primates to establish priority conservation sites in Mexico.
… including two primates present in the region (Ateles geoffroyi and Alouatta palliata). The main aim of this project was to identify areas most suited to biodiversity protection and conservation based on primate distribution. This was achieved through the following steps: first, primate …

Fission-Fusion Dynamics in Spider Monkeys in Belize
… range in close proximity, but spider monkeys (Ateles) and chimpanzees (Pan) are known for their more fluid association patterns. These species have been traditionally described as living in fission-fusion societies, because they range in subgroups of frequently changing size and composition, in …

Stress and sociality in a patrilocal primate: Do female spider monkeys tend-and-befriend?
Stress provokes an adaptive strategy that mobilizes the body for acute physical challenges. However, chronic stress has detrimental effects that can reduce health and reproductive fitness. Thus, coping mechanisms are valuable in reducing chronic stress. One such mechanism, the “tend-and-befriend” …

Primate nutritional ecology: the role of food selection, energy intake, and nutrient balancing in Mexican black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra) foraging strategies
… ripe fruit specialists such as spider monkeys (Ateles spp.). Maintaining a balance in daily protein and non-protein energy intake was the most consistent strategy adopted by howler monkeys across all seasons of the year. These findings support the idea that howler monkey feeding strategies …
