- Abstract
We present data on weight and reproduction from a colony of tufted capuchins monkeys (Cebus apella ) over a 12 year period. The data constitute a normative record for this species. Weight at birth averages 210 g, and infants gain weight rapidly. Females typically first conceived just after their fifth birthday, and males were fertile by 4 years, 5 months. Interbirth intervals average 576 days. Eighty-seven percent of live-born infants survived past 6 months. Three of eight live-born infants that died prior to 6 months succumbed from trauma inflicted by cage mates. Am. J. Primatol. 44:197–203, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
