Guidelines and considerations for capturing and collaring wild primates: a case study with capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus cucullatus).

Many aspects of the ecology, evolution and social behavior of wild-living primates remain un-explored and require further investigation. While long-term field studies are crucial for addressing conservation concerns for many primates' species, acquiring the necessary data is often challenging, often due to difficulties in locating study groups. Radio-telemetry has significantly facilitated the study of primates and other animals living in tropical forests.
