Abstract: Increasing urbanization and deforestation have enhanced the opportunities of contact between humans and monkeys and the impact of human activities on primate behavior is receiving growing attention. This study explores whether activity budgets and diet of a group of capuchin monkeys (Cebus libidinosus) inhabiting the area of the swimming pools of the National Park of Brasília is affected by the presence of visitors providing food to them. During one year, both in the dry and the wet seasons, we scored capuchin… Show more

“…Perhaps the macaques of the temple group developed food extraction abilities which facilitated their use of novel, embedded food resources, enhancing their survival under more variable environmental conditions. Observations on several animal species, for example, feral pigeons, Columba livia , mourning dove, Zenaida macroura [32], wild vervet monkeys, Chlorocebus aethiops [33], bearded capuchin monkeys, Cebus libidinosus [34] (now known as Sapajus libidinous [35,36]), tufted capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella [37] (now known as Sapajus apella [35,36]), and chimpanzees [38], suggest that individuals with more frequent exposure to novel physical objects in their surroundings may generally show reduced neophobic responses and hence, partake in and solve novel food extraction tasks more often than those living under more natural conditions. Accordingly, the observed patterns of local differences in problem-solving behavior between the macaques of two groups are most likely to be influenced by the differences in the physical structure of their surroundings.…”

“…Most studies of provisioned primates have shown a decrease in time spent feeding associated with provisioning [Brennan et al, 1985;Altmann and Muruthi, 1988;Marriot, 1988;Saj et al, 1999;. However, this is not always the case, because provisioned primates have also been shown to spend more time feeding as they have access to natural food resources [Boug et al, 1994;Kogenezawa and Imaki, 1999;Ram et al, 2003;Sabbatini et al, 2008;Ilham et al, 2017]. For example, Sha and Hanya [2013a] found that a group of long-tailed macaques that consumed more anthropogenic food, but also ate natural foods, spent more time feeding than a neighboring one that ate less human-derived food.…”

“…For example, bearded capuchin monkeys (Cebus libidinosus) in Brazil spent less time searching and moving during periods of high provisioning [Sabbatini et al, 2008]. The home range size and daily path lengths tend to be smaller and shorter during the provisioning period [Altmann and Muruthi, 1988;Forthman-Quick and Demment, 1988;Saj et al, 1999;Unwin and Smith, 2010].…”

“…Opportunistic exploration of food waste deposits and resources of fered by humans have already been obser ved for other mammalian species such as tufted capuchins (Cebus sp. ; Sabbatini et al 2006, Sabbatini et al 2008. This behavior can culminate in replacement of the natural diet with inappropriate food of low nutritional status, resulting in nutritional defi cit.…”
