US-Brazil Planning Grant: Integrative Geospatial and Behavioral Approaches for Predicting Capuchin Monkey Tool Use in Brazil

这笔计划访问拨款用于资助M.Madden博士、T.Jordan博士和D.Fragaszy博士以及两名研究生前往巴西探望同事罗查博士、S圣保罗大学的同事和戈亚·S大学的D.F.门德斯博士。此行的目的是计划一项结合地理空间技术和野生卷尾猴生物学研究的合作。此行将包括与S在圣保罗的合作者进行讨论，并访问戈亚S和皮奥伊的两个或两个以上地点，在那里将进行拟议的合作工作，以确定拟议的测绘、栖息地采样和行为研究技术的适用性。美国和巴西的合作者将讨论研究野生卷尾猴使用石器的分布与栖息地和地理特征相关的变异的细节和可行性。

This planning visit grant supports travel to Brazil by Drs. M. Madden , T. Jordan, and Dr. D. Fragaszy as well as two graduate students, all from the university of Georgia, to visit colleagues Dr. Rocha, and colleagues at the University of São Paulo, and Dr. D. F. Mendes at the University of Goiás. The purpose of the trip is to plan a collaboration combining geospatial techniques and biological studies of wild capuchin monkeys. The trip will include discussions with collaborators in São Paulo and visits to two or more sites in Goiás and Piauí where the proposed collaborative work would take place to establish the suitability of proposed mapping, habitat sampling and behavioral research techniques. The US and Brazilian collaborators will discuss the details and feasibility of studying variation in the distribution of stone tool use among wild capuchin monkeys in relation to habitat and geographic features.
