Table 2
Ethogram of the behaviour classes recorded during behavioural scan samples of Cebus capucinus in Sector Santa Rosa, ACG, Costa Rica.
| | Type | Behaviour class | Description |
| | Fruit foraging | Extractive foraging fruit | Extracting edible part of fruit from husk/shell within a fruit patch | | Visually foraging fruit | Scanning for or consuming bite-sized fruit within a fruit patch | | Feeding on fruit | Dedicated feeding (duration > 1 sec) on fruit within a fruit patch | Foraging behaviours | Insect foraging | Extractive foraging invertebrate | Extracting invertebrates from bark, branches, leaves; stationary insect foraging | Visually foraging invertebrate | Scanning for and consuming bite-sized invertebrates, often coincident with slower group travel | | Feeding on invertebrate | Dedicated feeding (duration > 1 sec) on invertebrates; stationary insect feeding | | Other foraging | Feeding on other | Dedicated feeding (duration > 1 sec) on vertebrates or woody plant parts |
| Nonforaging behaviours | Low Intensity | Resting | Sitting or lying down; not in physical contact with other group members | Social | Resting in contact; giving/receiving grooming; playing with other group members | Active | Directed travel | Directed travel at high rate of speed; does not include visual foraging | Other | Intergroup encounters, predator alarms/mobbing |
