Aotus azarae fecal cortisol concentrations and infant data

Data and analyses used in the research paper "Associations between fecal cortisol and biparental care in a pair-living primate" by Margaret Corley, Juan Pablo Perea Rodriguez, Claudia Valeggia, and Eduardo Fernandez-Duque in the <i>American Journal of Physical Anthropology.</i><i><br></i>1. CSV file with fecal cortisol concentrations of samples collected from 26 wild adult Azara's owl monkeys (<i>Aotus azarae</i>), 13 males and 13 females, in Formosa, Argentina, and information on births and infant presence on dates when fecal samples were collected from 10 group (monitored 2011-2016).<br>2. CSV file with metadata for database file.<br><br>All samples and demographic data were collected by the Owl Monkey Project (Proyecto Mirikina): https://www.owlmonkeyproject.com/<br>Acknowledgements for Data: We are grateful to all of the assistants, volunteers, and students who helped to collect samples in the field, as part of the Owl Monkey Project, especially V. Dávalos, A. García de la Chica, and M. Rotundo, who helped to oversee multiple years of sample collection. We would also like to thank the undergraduate students and assistants that assisted processing fecal samples at Penn and Yale, particularly R. T. Bovell who assayed some of the samples at the Yale Reproductive Ecology Laboratory. We are grateful to the governments of the Province of Formosa and Argentina for permission to conduct our research and to Bellamar Estancias and Fundación ECO for similar support. G. Aronsen provided support to the Yale Reproductive Ecology Laboratory throughout. <br><br>FUNDINGNational Science Foundation (BCS-0621020, 1232349, 1503753, 1848954)National Science Foundation (RAPID-1219368)National Science Foundation (DDIG-1540255)National Science Foundation (REU-0837921, 0924352, 1026991)NIH (NIA-P30 AG012836-19)NICHD R24 HD-044964-11L.S.B.
