Activity budget and gut microbiota stability and flexibility across reproductive states in wild capuchin monkeys in a seasonal tropical dry forest

Table 1 Pregnancy and nursing were divided into three equal stages. Cycling (Pre-conception) consisted of 60 days prior to the inferred conceptive event, and Cycling (Post-weaning) consisted of 60 days post-weaning

Reproductive state	Stage	Length
Cycling (Pre-conception)	–	60–0 days before inferred conception
Pregnancy	Early	0–53 days post inferred conception
	Mid	54–104 days post inferred conception
	Late	105–157 days post inferred conception
Nursing	Early	0–121 days postpartum
	Mid	122–242 days postpartum
	Late	243–365 days postpartum
Cycling (post-weaning)	–	0–60 days post weaning

For females who gave birth, conception dates were back calculated 157 days/5 months, based on the day of birth; for females with suspected pregnancy losses, conception date was estimated based on level of abdomen protrusion
