This chapter reviews and synthesizes research on hormonal correlates of sexual maturation
and adult reproductive function in owl monkeys and how those hormones respond to …

Owl monkeys, genus Aotus, are distributed from Panama to the northeast of Argentina and
from the highlands of the Andes to the Atlantic coast. They are relatively small arboreal …

In the last few decades, important advances have been made in the knowledge on the
behavioral ecology of pair-living primates such as owl monkeys (Aotus spp.). With the …

The subtropical populations of owl monkeys (Aotus) and some lemurs have flexible patterns
that include activity during both day and night. Early studies on the activity patterns of …

Despite close to three decades of genetic studies that have tried to resolve the precise
phylogenetic position of owl monkeys (genus Aotus) within the platyrrhine radiation, some …

Natal dispersal, the movement of individuals from their birthplace to new areas in which they
may breed, is an important aspect of life history that influences processes at the level of the …

While often placed in opposition to one another, integrating data from studies of captive and
non-captive nonhuman primates enhances our interpretation of their natural behavior and …

This chapter presents an overview of the general characteristics of the Nancy Ma's owl
monkey (Aotus nancymaae) and a case study where we explore the genetic composition of …

The function of intergroup encounters (IGEs) may differ substantially among species of
different group sizes and social organizations. Research in group‐living primates has shown …

Although studying communication among nocturnal primates is particularly challenging,
decades of research provide sufficient evidence to recognize that communication between …
