Spatial Mapping in Wild White-Faced Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus Imitator): An Experimental Field Study
Material and Methods
Discussion
Do white-faced capuchins exhibit a win-shift foraging rule when selecting experimental feeding platforms?
Do white-faced capuchins select nearer platforms over more distant platforms? Do white-faced capuchins travel to more distant feeding platforms that contain higher food rewards preferentially over nearer feeding platforms that contain lower food rewards?
Do white-faced capuchins use traditional routes of travel to reach experimental feeding platforms or do they select novel travel routes?
Do white-faced capuchins travel between sequential feeding platforms using a distance-minimizing principle, and over the course of the field experiment do they reduce their circuity index in traveling between experimental platforms?
Do white-faced capuchins visit experimental feeding platforms in the same order as they were first encountered?
Do white-faced capuchins exhibit a win-shift foraging rule when selecting experimental feeding platforms?
Experiment 2
Do white-faced capuchins select nearer platforms over more distant platforms?
