What habitat type, besides wet rainforests and disturbed areas, is documented for Cebus capucinus?
Answer
Mangrove forests
The white-faced capuchin exhibits notable plasticity in habitat selection across its geographical range. While they adapt to varied forest structures, their documented presence is not limited to terrestrial forests like dry deciduous or wet rainforests. Specifically, their presence has also been documented in mangrove forests, indicating an adaptation that allows them to utilize coastal wetland environments within their tropical range.
