  CAPUCHIN MONKEY - LoveToKnow Article on CAPUCHIN MONKEY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
These monkeys, whose native name is sapajou, are the typical representatives of the family Cebidae, and belong to a sub-family in which the tail is generally prehensile.
From the other genera of that group (Cebinae) with prehensile tails capuchins are distinguished by the comparative shortness of that appendage, and the absence of a naked area on the under surface of its extremity.
The hair is not woolly, the general build is rather stout, and the limbs are of moderate length and slenderness.

Members of the Cebinae subfamily, capuchins and squirrel monkeys, are familiar to many people because they were often, and still sometimes are, sold as pets or trained to entertain people.
Their intelligence and manipulative ability enable them to forage for hidden insects and dispersed fruits and nuts, but unfortunately also made them prime victims for those who trained them as "organ grinder monkeys," trained to dance and collect money for organ grinders.
There are reports of a captive capuchin using objects to crack open nuts.

The squirrel monkeys, Saimiri, usually classified in the subfamily Cebinae, are now also considered by some authorities to form a separate subfamily, the Saimiriinae.
In contrast, the sakis have thick hair on the head, forming a hood or a crest with a coiffured look.
The capuchins, Cebus, in the subfamily Cebinae, are famous for their impressive performances in laboratory tests of intelligence.

 Problems and Proposed Solutions in Platyrrhine Phylogeny
Also the traditional cebid-callitrichid dichotomy is radically altered: Cebinae, consisting of Cebus (capuchin monkeys) and Saimiri (squirrel monkeys), is the sister of Callitrichinae and these two subfamilies constitute the family Cebidae.
We plan to gather extensive additional DNA sequence data in order to test the congruent branching arrangements of the epsilon and IRBP maximum parsimony trees, especially those arrangements that are controversial when compared to the cladistic evidence from previous morphological studies (11-14).
Thus we plan to further test the cladistic validity of proposed taxonomic groupings (20,21,24) that reflect congruent epsilon and IRBP results (but not all morphological results) such as a subfamily Cebinae (Cebus, Saimiri), a family Cebidae (Cebinae, Aotus, Callitrichinae), a subfamily Pitheciinae (Callicebus, Pitheciini), a subtribe Brachytelina (Brachyteles, Lagothrix), and a tribe Atelini (Ateles, Brachytelina).

Callitrichids became callitrichines, closely related to squirrel monkeys and capuchins (Cebinae).
Many features of callitrichines are now thought to have resulted from selection for small size and thus are derived and not ancestral or primitive traits.
Identification of the phylogenetic link between the Cebinae and Callitrichinae was made possible by the discovery of a new set of fossils at La Venta, Colombia, with morphological characteristics intermediate between those of the two subfamilies (Rosenberger, 1992).

 Cone pigment polymorphism in New World monkeys: Are all pigments created equal?
Most platyrrhine monkeys have a triallelic M/L opsin gene polymorphisin that underlies significant individual variations in color vision.
A survey of the frequencies of these polymorphic genes Suggests that the three alleles occur with equal frequency among squirrel monkeys (subfamily Cebinae), but are not equally frequent in a number of species from the subfamily Callitrichinae.
This departure from equal frequency in the Callitrichids should slightly increase the ratio of dichromats to trichromats in the population and significantly after the relative representation of the three possible dichromatic and trichromatic phenotypes.

 Disotell et al. 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
To date, four nuclear loci (epsilon-globin, beta-2-microglobulin, IRBP, G6PD) have been surveyed for all extant genera of New World monkeys.
Though these works agree on the monophyly of each of the Atelidae, Pitheciidae, and Cebidae (Cebinae + Aotinae + Callitrichinae), they disagree on the relative relationships among the families.
Epsilon-globin and beta-2-microglobulin (both autosomal) infer a sister-relationship between the Atelidae and Pitheciidae; IRBP (autosomal) supports a clade of Pitheciidae and Cebidae; G6PD (X-chromosomal) groups the Atelidae with the Cebidae.
