Dietary preferences of white-faced capuchins monkeys (C. capucinus) in northwestern Costa Rica were examined across age classes and between two distinct seasons over the course of 1 year. The findings show that the dietary profiles of small juveniles, large juveniles, and adults are quite similar, suggesting that juveniles are efficient foragers from a young age. The predictions of several ontogenetic models are presented, and the data lend limited support to the juvenile risk aversion and motor ability models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
