Experimental field study of spatial memory and learning in wild capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus).
TLDR
The results indicate that when 'place' was predictable, the capuchins learned the spatial locations of food and non-food sites rapidly (one-trial learning) and when they were given conflicting cues, spatial information was predominant over other information in selecting feeding sites.

The effects of logging, hunting and vegetation on the densities of the Pagai, Mentawai Island primates
Examining the extinction risk of specialized folivores: a comparative study of Colobine monkeys
TLDR
It is found that species that devote a smaller proportion of their diet to mature leaf consumption appear to be at a greater risk of extinction, and as female body mass increases, so does extinction risk.

Patterns of lateralized hand use in an arboreal primate, Simias concolor
TLDR
Study of patterns of lateralized hand use during feeding in four simakobu monkeys (Simias concolor), an arboreal species inhabiting the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia, suggests that these individuals are more likely to express significant hand preferences when feeding from stable, rather than precarious, positions within the canopy.

Using TreeNet for Identifying Management Thresholds of Mantled Howling Monkeys' Habitat Preferences on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua, on a Tree and Home Range Scale
Numerous studies have been conducted on mantled howling monkeys (Alouatta palliata). However, very few of the studies have dealt with explicitly quantifying spatial and habitat preferences. Thus, the…
