Strength of minority ties: the role of homophily and group composition in a weighted social network by José R Nicolás-Carlock, Denis Boyer, Sandra E Smith-Aguilar, Gabriel Ramos-Fernández

“…Furthermore, by performing simulations with fitted parameters, we show that one of the main features of a spider monkey social system, namely, stronger male-male interactions over female-female or female-male ones, can be accounted for by an asymmetry in the node-type composition of a bipartisan network, independently of group size. …”

The Zoʻé perspective on what scientists call “forest management” and its implications for floristic diversity and biocultural conservation by Juliano Franco-Moraes, Leonardo Viana. Braga, Charles Roland. Clement

“…We show that the Zoʻé perspective on forest management is structured by an ethical principle involving a social-ecological relationship with different beings, especially the spider monkey (Ateles sp.). This relationship generates mobility among the Zoʻé that allows forest regrowth in their fallow areas, so that in 28 years, forest basal area may equal that of old-growth forests. …”

The Nutritional Geometry of Resource Scarcity: Effects of Lean Seasons and Habitat Disturbance on Nutrient Intakes and Balancing in Wild Sifakas. by Mitchell T Irwin, Jean-Luc Raharison, David R Raubenheimer, Colin A Chapman, Jessica M Rothman

“…Recent research has used the geometric framework for nutrition to obtain an improved understanding of how animals respond to these nutritional constraints, among them free-ranging primates including spider monkeys and gorillas. We used this framework to examine macronutrient intakes and nutrient balancing in sifakas (Propithecus diadema) at Tsinjoarivo, Madagascar, in order to quantify how these vary across seasons and across habitats with varying degrees of anthropogenic disturbance. …”
