The nutritional composition of the diet influences the survival and reproductive success of an animal. In primates, food choices may be related to specific nutritional demands of male and female reproduction and may be affected by the social position of individuals. The objective of this study was to evaluate if gender, social status and reproductive cycle phases affect the food choices of adult squirrel monkeys (S. collinsi). Food and agonistic behaviors of 13 males and 19 females were observed in three phases of the reproductive cycle. It was evaluated if males and females differ in intake and consumption of macronutrients and if hierarchical position is related to macronutritional consumption. Anova's repeated measures were taken to evaluate if the diet has changed between the phases of the reproductive cycle. Sex differences in food choices were detected only in the reproductive phase when females consumed more protein, lipids and fiber than males, while males consumed more water than females. No social position effects were detected on nutrient intake. When comparing differences in nutritional intake between the phases of the reproductive cycle, it was detected that females significantly increased the carbohydrate intake and the intake rate during the Reproductive phase and lipids, fibers and water in the Pre-reproductive and Reproductive phases. Males increased the consumption of fibers in the Pre-reproductive and Reproductive phases and water increasing progressively until the Reproductive phase. The results reflect differences in the reproductive strategy of males and females: While females invest in food consuming nutrients related to the quality of gestation and lactation, males invest in maintaining the fat/swollen appearance, possibly related to females' attraction.

Sistema social do macaco-de-cheiro (Saimiri collinsi) em cativeiro

Most primates live in groups. Despite the advantages, this type of social organization can also increase competition for resources intragroup. The priority access to these resources is linked to dominance hierarchy. The hierarchical positions and social relationships influence the quality of life, for example, changing the reproductive and immune systems. This study characterizes the social hierarchy of the squirrel monkeys, Saimiri collinsi in captivity and examines the influence of intrinsic attributes in the hierarchy. Describes the intragroup associations networks and the relations between associations and the hierarchy and reproductive behavior. Furthermore, describes the care with offspring (parental and alloparental care) and addresses the association between mothers and allomothers in and out of care with offspring period. The results showed that dominance structure of S. collinsi is a partial hierarchy and that it is influenced by the age and body size. The association networks are formed based on sex classes and are not made for age, age-classes, or rank. The associations appear to be related to female power resistance to males sex advances. Moreover, allomothers included females with and without offspring and the association between mothers and allomothers was no different inside and outside of care with infants period.
