Journal Article
Young, J. W., Fernandez, D., & Fleagle, J. G. (2010). Ontogeny of long bone geometry in capuchin monkeys (Cebus albifrons and Cebus apella): Implications for locomotor development and life history. Biology Letters, 6(2), 197-200. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2009.0773

Studies of a diverse array of animals have found that young individuals often have robust bones for their body size (i.e. augmented crosssectional dimensions), limiting fracture risk despite general musculoskeletal immaturity. However, previous resea... Read More about Ontogeny of long bone geometry in capuchin monkeys (Cebus albifrons and Cebus apella): Implications for locomotor development and life history.
