Intra and Interspecific Variation in Cranial Morphology on the Southernmost Distributed Cebus (Platyrrhini, Primates) Species

Capuchin monkeys (Cebus) are one of the genera with the widest distribution among Neotropical primates (New World Monkeys, Platyrrhini), accompanied by an elevated genetic, phenotypic, behavioral, morphological, and ecological diversity, both at the interspecific and population levels. Despite being...

Cebus Geometric morphometrics Platyrrhini Populations Capuchin monkeys (Cebus) are one of the genera with the widest distribution among Neotropical primates (New World Monkeys, Platyrrhini), accompanied by an elevated genetic, phenotypic, behavioral, morphological, and ecological diversity, both at the interspecific and population levels.
