The paper shows orangutan mothers adjust their ranging behavior to increase offspring social play, at an energetic cost.

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 identifies 19 call types in white-nosed coatis, revealing structural, temporal, and social variations in their vocal repertoire.

The paper examines how kinship, acoustic signaling, and socio-spatial structure affect decision-making and social influence in white-nosed coatis, finding that majority support and proximity to leaders shape group decisions.

This study examines how white-faced capuchin monkeys develop stone tool use skills in a population with limited social learning opportunities, finding that juveniles are less proficient than adults but show stable skill development over time.

This study identifies vocal coordination and conflict avoidance as drivers of fission-fusion dynamics in white-nosed coatis by analyzing subgrouping events and vocalizations.

The paper shows how environmental changes affect competition between and within groups of capuchin monkeys, altering their space use and foraging strategies.

The paper studies stone tool selectivity in white-faced capuchin monkeys to infer archaeological signatures of tool use in primates and humans.

Magellanic penguins adjust their navigation strategies to balance energy efficiency and foraging opportunities in response to tidal currents.

The paper analyzes behavioral sequences in three wild mammal species and finds consistent structural patterns across all species, individuals, and behavioral states.

The paper tracks foraging behavior in bats across seasons and finds consistent long-distance foraging to shared, colony-specific sites, suggesting culturally transmitted preferences.

The study tracks GPS movements of white-nosed coatis to show that genetic relatedness, not physiological similarity, drives consistent subgrouping patterns in social groups.
