Abstract
Calculations of Alouatta palliata, Cebus capucinus and Ateles geoffroyi densities from a census of tropical dry forest in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica are provided (69,15 and 0.6/km2, respectively). Adult sex ratios, adult female: juvenile + infant ratios, and demographic differences are provided for A. palliata troops in riparian and dry forests.
