- Capuchins use stone tools to overcome environmental challenges, particularly for cracking nuts, with variations influenced by ecological and cultural factors.
- Research was conducted on two newly studied populations of bearded capuchins using camera traps to assess their nut-cracking success and efficiency, finding some partial support for the idea that these measures would be similar across different sites.
- The study revealed no consistent differences in nut-cracking success and efficiency between male and female capuchins, highlighting the flexibility and potential cultural aspects of their nut-cracking behaviors.
