C. c. capucinus, from mainland South America and Panama C. c. curtus , from the Pacific island of Gorgona , sometimes referred to as the Gorgona white-faced capuchin. Like other monkeys in the genus Cebus , the Colombian white-faced capuchin is named after the order of Capuchin friars because the cowls of these friars closely resemble the ...
The range of C. capucinus is primarily in South America, in western Colombia and northwest Ecuador, although its range extends into the easternmost portion of Panama. [1] C. c. curtus has a range restricted to Gorgona Island, while C. c. capucinus covers the remainder of the C. capucinus range. [1] The two species differ slightly in appearance.

Robust capuchin monkeys are capuchin monkeys in the genus Sapajus.Formerly, all capuchin monkeys were placed in the genus Cebus. Sapajus was erected in 2012 by Jessica Lynch Alfaro et al. to differentiate the robust (tufted) capuchin monkeys (formerly the C. apella group) from the gracile capuchin monkeys (formerly the C. capucinus group), which remain in Cebus.

In white-faced monkeys, Cebus capucinus, regardless of aggression, avoidance, or sex, higher ranking monkeys had higher energy intake within their group. [2] For female Microcebus murinus groups, if the resource (fruit) could be monopolized, they would compete within their group for ...
