A Capuche (also almuce [1]) is a friar's cowl, a long, pointed hood which was typically worn by the Franciscan, Capuchin, Augustinian, Carmelite, or Cistercian monks.. The name, which is now the French word for "hood", is of Middle French origin, derived from the Italian word cappuccio and the Late Latin word cappa, meaning cloak. [2]
A white-fronted capuchin sits in a tree. Cases of infanticide in white fronted capuchins have been attributed to resource competition. Infanticide in non-human primates occurs as a result of exploitation when the individuals performing the infanticide directly benefit from consumption or use of their victim. [1]
For example, many researchers focus on animals' understanding of intention, gaze, perspective, or knowledge (or rather, what another being has seen). Part of the difficulty in this line of research is that observed phenomena can often be explained as simple stimulus-response learning, since mental states can often be inferred based on observed ...

They are readily identified as the "organ grinder" monkey, and have been used in many movies and television shows. The range of capuchin monkeys includes some tropical forests in Central America and South America as far south as northern Argentina.
Another example is Lasioglossum hemichalceum, which is a species of sweat bee that shows drastic physical dimorphisms between male offspring. [34] Not all dimorphism has to have a drastic difference between the sexes. Andrena agilissima is a mining bee where the females only have a slightly larger head than the males. [35]

This definition does not exclude alloparents who are blood relatives of the offspring, such as siblings and aunts, who are often observed as 'helpers at the nest'. [14] In such cases, the alloparent and the offspring share a degree of relatedness (r ( coefficient of relatedness ) > 0); so kin selection is often involved in the evolution of the ...
