1. 1. Cognition in black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi): A battery of behavioral tests

   Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Tiffany Claire Bosshard; [2020]
   Nyckelord :cognition; behavior; object permanence; associative learning; quantity discrimination; numerosity; long-term memory; spider monkey;

   Sammanfattning : Cognition allows animals to acquire, process, and store sensory information from the environment and use it to adapt to their surroundings. A battery of behavioral tests was used to assess the cognitive abilities of black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi). LÄS MER

3. 2. Training of spider monkeys in a food-rewarded two-choice olfactory discrimination paradigm and assessment of olfactory learning and memory performance

   Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Biologi

   Författare :Emmi Aineslahti; [2019]
   Nyckelord :Ateles geoffroyi; behavioral testing; discrimination learning; odor memory; olfaction; olfactory discrimination; olfactory learning; spider monkey;

   Sammanfattning : There is little knowledge about olfactory learning in primates, even though primates are known to use olfaction in several behaviors including food selection and territorial defense. Therefore I assessed the olfactory learning and memory performance in five adult spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) using a food-rewarded two-choice olfactory discrimination paradigm. LÄS MER

4. 3. Olfactory sensitivity of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) for "green odors"

   Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Pia Katrine Løtvedt; [2011]
   Nyckelord :Ateles geoffroyi; green odors ; olfaction; olfactory detection thresholds; spider monkeys;

   Sammanfattning : Primates have traditionally been viewed as having a poorly developed sense of smell. However, in recent years, studies have shown that at least some primate species use olfaction in a number of behaviors, and that they have a high olfactory sensitivity for various chemical classes of odorants.

5. 4. Olfactory sensitivity of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) for six structurally related aromatic aldehydes

   Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Luna Kjelmand; [2009]
   Nyckelord :Aromatic aldehydes; olfactory detection thresholds; spider monkeys;

   Sammanfattning : For many years, primates have been considered to be animals with a poorly developed sense of smell. However, in recent years several studies have shown that at least some primate species have a high olfactory sensitivity for a variety of odorants. LÄS MER

7. 5. Taste responsiveness to the 20 proteinogenic amino acids and taste preference thresholds for Glycine and L-Proline in spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)

   Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Anna Maitz; [2009]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The present study assessed the taste responsiveness of four female spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) to the 20 proteinogenic amino acids and determined taste preference thresholds for Glycine and L-Proline. To this end a two-bottle preference test of brief duration (1min) was employed. LÄS MER
