Talk:Capuchin monkey

message: Animal:rights activists 'claim' they aren't suitable as domestic pets? Actually, most Western governments, animal welfare agencies and people equipped with common sense claim the same. This sentence came across as a derisory snort to the 'extreme' idea that monkeys aren't suitable as house pets. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.87.193.90 (talk • contribs) .
I'm not sure, they may make suitable house pets if they are trained. There are many people who own them actually, they say it's like raising a child, or so I've read. I don't think this helps much, though, sorry.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.223.232 (talk) 03:19, August 25, 2007 (UTC) 
Having worked with them, they could be raised as pets, but to do so would be a real shame. They are VERY social animals, and to be raised without other monkeys would not be good for them. I´m working with about 40 just now, and 1 has been trained to steal stuff. It can tell the difference between big money notes, and small money notes/coins.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.87.191.2 (talk) 19:41, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jack the monkey 

message: I rearranged the order of subspecies in the taxobox. This is beacuse, when you arrange southern subscipes in a lower line, I think you should insert Cebus queirozi between Cebus apella and Cebus libidinosus. Shaxshan 12:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The order of subspecies in the taxobox 

message: The section on "helping hands" should have a citation or reference, possibly a link to the organizations page (which appears to be http://www.helpinghandsmonkeys.org). A very brief assessment of the success (if any) of the program could be added. 81.229.151.101 09:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference for "Helping hands" 

message: There is a statement in the opening that "They are considered the most intelligent New World monkeys."  I think this is the general perception, and may well be true.  But in light of the study last year (referenced in this article ) putting spider monkeys above them in intelligence, I am thinking that the unsourced quoted comment ought to be removed.

thread_title: Intelligence

message: The article states that "During the mosquito season, they crush up millipedes and rub the remains on their backs. This acts as a natural insect repellent."  What is the source of this.  Life of Mammals shows White-Faced Capuchins crushing the leaves of a certain plant to use as insect repellant, but I am not sure about millipede use for this purpose. Rlendog (talk) 03:10, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I found a source for the millipedes (Wainwright's Mammals of Costa Rica), so that should be okay, although it notes that it is uncertain whether the millipedes are rubbed on as insect repellent or for some other purpose (e.g., fungicide).  The source does also note the use of leaves for this apparent purpose. Rlendog (talk) 22:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Insect Repellent

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Capuchin monkey's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "costa":
From Central American Squirrel Monkey: 
From White-headed Capuchin: 
Reference named "field":
From White-headed Capuchin: 
From Central American Squirrel Monkey: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:19, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Capuchin monkey]] 

message: Formerly genus Cebus is being divided into two genera Cebus and Sapajus.
* Cebus (gracile/non-tufted capuchins): Cebus capucinus, C. albifrons, C. olivaceus, C. kaapori.
* Sapajus (robust/tufted capuchuchins): Sapajus apella, S. macrocephalus, S. libidinosus, S. cay, S. flavius, S. nigritus, S. robustus, S. xanthosternos.
This division appeared in Izar, et al. (2011) (doi:10.1002/ajp.20968) and Garber, et al. (2011) (10.1002/ajp.20957) both in Am. J. Primatol. The literature involved capuchin specialists and New World primate specialists, respectively, so the distinction seems to become prevalent soon. --Shaxshan (talk) 03:38, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
