Background The literature regarding milk composition in non‐human primates collected
across offspring development is limited. We assayed milk samples from bonnet macaque …

Milk composition is a fundamental aspect of mammalian reproduction. Differences in milk
composition between species may reflect phylogeny, dietary ecology, lactation strategy, and …

Lactation represents the greatest postnatal energetic expenditure for mammalian mothers,
and a mother's ability to sustain the costs of lactation is influenced by her physical condition …

Primate infants require extensive maternal investment, and lactation is the most expensive
aspect of this investment. However, the relationship between maternal condition and milk …

Squirrel monkeys (genus Saimiri) give birth to relatively large neonates with large, fast‐
growing brains. Maternal energy expenditure during gestation and infant development is …

Little is known about the milk composition of nonhuman primates, and it has never been
examined in capuchin monkeys (genus Cebus). This article reports on the macronutrient …

Among mammals, numerous bioactive factors in milk vary across mothers and influence
offspring outcomes. This emerging area of research has primarily investigated such …

This dissertation provides a comprehensive and systematic examination of anthropoid
primate milk composition and its relationship to a species' evolutionary history, ecological …

The generalization that anthropoid primates produce dilute milks that are low in protein and
energy is based primarily on data from large monkeys of the families Cebidae and …

Published data on milk composition for nonhuman primates, especially great apes, are
lacking. Milk composition data are important for understanding the physiology and evolution …
