Social Conventions in Wild White‐faced Capuchin Monkeys: Evidence for Traditions in a Neotropical Primate
Abstract
Ten researchers collaborated in a longterm study of social conventions in wild whitefaced capuchin monkeys, involving examination of a 19,000hour combined data set collected on 13 social groups at four study sites in Costa Rica over a 13year period. Five behavior patterns qualified as social traditions, according to the studys criteria: handsniffing, sucking of body parts, and three types of games. Some conventions were independently invented in virtually identical form at multiple sites. The extinction of several conventions was observed during the course of the study; it appears that they rarely last longer than ten years. It is hypothesized that the monkeys are using these group or cliquespecific social conventions to test the quality of their social relationships.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
