We use data from five cohorts in low- and middle-income countries including: The 1982 Pelotas Birth Cohort (Brazil) (Victora and Barros, 2006 (link)), the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama Nutrition Trial Cohort (Guatemala) (Stein et al., 2008 (link)), the New Delhi Birth Cohort (India) (Sachdev et al., 2005 (link)); the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (Philippines) (Adair, 2007 (link)), and the Birth to Twenty (South Africa) Cohort (Richter et al., 2007 (link)) (Table 1.) All field activities were reviewed and approved by an appropriate ethics committee or Institutional Review Board and all participants (or their parents, as appropriate) provided informed consent for all measures reported.
Infant and child anthropometry. In each study, length or height was measured by the research teams using study-specific, but consistent, methodologies. Length (cm) was measured at birth in India, within 6 days of birth in Philippines, and at 15 days of birth in Guatemala. Birth length was not available for Brazil or South Africa. The studies varied in the timing and frequency of measurement (Table 1). In all studies except Guatemala, supine length was measured until 24 mo and standing height from age 24 mo. In Guatemala, supine length was measured through the age of 7 years, and for the present analysis we converted supine lengths to standing heights by subtracting 1.0 cm from lengths obtained at ages 24 mo and older.
For the present analysis, we used data for length at birth (Guatemala, India, Philippines) and 12 months (all 5 cohorts) and height at 24 months (all 5 cohorts) and at a point that we henceforth refer to as mid-childhood, namely 48 months (Brazil, Guatemala, India), 60 months (South Africa), and 102 months (Philippines). The India data were contributed to the pooled data set as values interpolated to exact ages of 12, 24, and 48 months using individual growth curves. All length and height measures were converted to Z-scores by comparing them to the 2006 World Health Organization (WHO) growth standards, which were generated from six cohorts of breast-fed infants and children free from economic constraints on growth (WHO, 2006 (link)) or the 2007 reference curves, which extend the age range through adolescence (de Onis et al., 2007 ) and were derived in part from the US National Center for Health Statistics reference curves. Use of Z-scores provides a common reference against which cohort-specific growth can be assessed.

Samples and data are from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (CLHNS), a birth cohort study in Cebu City, Philippines that began with enrollment of 3,327 pregnant mothers in 1983-1984 (Adair et al. 2011 (link)). Venous blood samples were collected in 2005, when the offspring were 20.8 - 22.5 years old and the mothers were 35.7 - 69.3 years old. Automated and manual DNA extraction (Puregene, Gentra) was conducted on venous blood from 1,893 mothers and 1,779 offspring. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants and data and DNA collection were conducted with approval and oversight from the Institutional Review Boards of University of North Carolina and Northwestern University. Telomere measurement and analysis in de-identified samples and data was not considered human subjects research by Northwestern University's Institutional Review Board.

BW was measured by research teams in Pelotas, New Delhi, and Guatemala. In Cebu,
BW was measured by birth attendants who had been provided with mechanical scales
for home births (60%) or was obtained from hospital records for the remainder.
In Bt20, weight was obtained from reliable birth records (26 (link)). Subsequent weights were measured by research teams
using standard techniques (14 (link), 19 (link), 20 (link), 22 (link), 24 (link)) and then converted to weight-for-age
z (WAZ) scores using the WHO Growth Standards (27 (link)). The New Delhi weight data
contributed to the pooled data set as values interpolated to exact ages of 12,
24, and 48 mo by using individual weight curves. Midchildhood weight was
measured at a mean age of 48 mo in Pelotas, New Delhi, and Guatemala; at 60 mo
for Bt20; and at 102 mo in Cebu. To make midchildhood weight comparable across
sites, we imputed 48-mo z scores for Bt20 and Cebu
participants, assuming a linear change in z score from 24 to 60
or 102 mo respectively, and back-transformed the resulting z scores into weight (in kg).

We extended our comparative analysis of the CTMC model, BASTA, and MASCOT by analyzing a set of RABV genetic sequences using the three approaches. In total, 233 sequences corresponding to the RABV glycoprotein gene were sampled in the Philippines from 2004 to 2010 (Saito et al. 2013 ). In the original discrete phylogeographic analysis, the authors studied viral spread across eleven out of the seventeen Philippines regions and showed that the genetic diversity was highly spatially structured, notably at the island level (Tohma et al. 2014 ). Here, we evaluated the spread across the six sampled islands (Luzon, Catanduanes, Oriental Mindoro, Cebu, Negros Oriental, and Mindanao) to compare the reconstructions on a highly structured dataset and limit the number of demes that considerably slow down BASTA and MASCOT. We assumed an HKY nucleotide substitution model with an among-site rate heterogeneity modeled by a discretized gamma distribution (Yang 1994 (link)), and an uncorrelated relaxed molecular clock with an underlying lognormal distribution (Drummond et al. 2006 ). For the CTMC, we assumed a constant size coalescent model for the viral demographics as in the original analysis. For MASCOT and BASTA, current implementations assume a constant population size model for the viral demographics within demes. A detailed description of the priors is reported in Supplementary Table S7. For each algorithm, we combined three post-burn-in independent chains of 50 million iterations each.

The RepeatMasker utility program COSEG was applied to the lineage-specific owl monkey and capuchin monkey Alu insertions to determine the subfamily composition based on co-segregating mutations. Alu insertions determined to be lineage-specific were aligned via Crossmatch (www.phrap.org/phredphrapconsed.html, accessed on 1 January 2023 with the default settings, then analyzed via COSEG (www.repeatmasker.org/COSEGDownload.html; accessed on 19 December 2022) to determine the subfamily structure. The dataset was aligned against the AluS consensus sequence [30 (link)]. COSEG was then used to group the Alu subfamilies. The middle A-rich region of the AluS consensus sequence was excluded from the analysis when determining the subfamilies, whereas tri and di segregating mutations were considered. A group of ten or more identical sequences was considered a separate Alu subfamily. The consensus sequences were subjected to a RepeatMasker analysis using 24 subfamilies previously defined by RepBase [15 (link),24 (link)], as well as the 86 from marmoset and 46 from squirrel monkey (see Section 1) to remove exact matches. Eliminating subfamilies duplicated in owl monkey or capuchin resulted in non-overlapping datasets. These 189 Alu subfamilies were then aligned in BioEdit [31 ] and a network analysis was completed based on the accumulation of diagnostic mutations.

Four high-quality platyrrhine genomes (common marmoset; C. jacchus [caljac3], capuchin monkey; Cebus imitator [Cebus_imitator-1.0], squirrel monkey; S. boliviensis [SaiBol1] and owl monkey; Aotus nancymaae [Anan_2.0]) were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and analyzed for their Alu content using RepeatMasker (RepeatMasker-Open-4.0). Ascertainment of lineage-specific or recently integrated Alu insertions from the owl monkey genome [Anan_2.0] and from the C. imitator genome [Cebus_imitator-1.0] [25 (link)] were performed as described previously [26 ,27 (link),28 (link),29 (link)]. Briefly, full-length Alu elements were extracted from the RepeatMasker output using a custom python script (described at link https://github.com/t-beck; accessed on 19 December 2022). These elements, along with 600 bp 5′ and 3′ flanking sequence, were then compared to the remaining genomes by means of a sequential BLAT [23 (link)] conducted in the following order: (1) human (Homo sapiens; [GRCh38.p13]); (2) common marmoset (C. jacchus; [caljac3]); (3) capuchin monkey (C. imitator; [Cebus_imitator-1.0] or owl monkey (A. nancymaae; [Anan_2.0] and (4) squirrel monkey (S. boliviensis; [SaiBol1.0]). A sequential BLAT involved analyzing the output after each BLAT for capuchin or owl monkey-specific Alu elements compared to the other four genomes.

We manipulated food availability and the intensity of helminthic infections by provisioning with bananas, and by supplying antiparasitic drugs, respectively. Both groups were provisioned during winter (i.e. the season of food shortage for capuchins in Iguazú), but with different regimes: a high provisioning (3 bananas/platform × 3 platforms/site × 3 sites = 27 bananas), and a low provisioning regime (2–3 bananas/platform × 1 platform/site × 1–3 sites = 2–9 bananas). The low provisioning functioned as a control, reducing the chances of potential differences attributable to banana consumption/provisioning itself. To reduce the intensity of helminthic infections, we supplied approximately a randomly selected half of adults/subadults each year within each group with antiparasitic drugs, using a cocktail of ivermectin, which reduces infections by nematodes and ectoparasites, and praziquantel, which removes cestodes. Details of both experimental treatments, provisioning and parasite removal, are described in our previous study36 (link) and Supplementary Tables S1S2.

This study was conducted in Iguazú National Park, Argentina (25°40′ S, 54°30′ W), a site with a humid semi-deciduous subtropical forest and a climate characterised by a marked seasonality in day length and temperature, but not in rainfall30 (link). Winter (May–August) represents the lean season, when the availability of fleshy fruits and arthropods, the bulk of the diet of black capuchins, drastically decreases at the site, while between October and January these items become abundant21 . Specifically, with pulpy fruit productivity dropping from 1000 to 1400 g in the austral summer to 50–200 g (dry weight/ha/day) in the austral winter, black capuchins may face food shortage and depend mainly on dispersed fallback food in the latter season31 .
At the site, black capuchin monkeys live in stable multimale-multifemale groups of 12.41 ± 7.0 (mean ± SD; n = 7) ranging from 6 to 3032 (link) but occasionally reaching up to 44 individuals, with an alpha male and philopatric females that establish a linear dominance hierarchy33 . In Iguazú, since 1991, every winter, one or two groups are provisioned with bananas on platforms for research purposes33 . Bananas are a nutritious and highly digestible food34 and have become a most preferred item for black capuchins at the study site, as indicated by the high rate of food calls given by individuals when approaching the provisioning platforms31 . In these capuchin groups, during provisioning on platforms, individual connections (network centrality) with other group members increase, but without any direct effect on parasitic infections (i.e. alterations of within-group spatial networks due to provisioning may have a limited influence in determining the characteristics of parasite infections in these monkeys)35 (link).
Here we collected data from adult/subadult individuals of two groups: Macuco (15–19 adult/subadults out of 23–27 individuals) and Spot (8–12 adult/subadults out of 17–21 individuals) (Supplementary Tables S1S2). We considered females as adults when older than five years, and subadults when four to five years old, which corresponds to the average age of female first oestrus with conception33 . We classified males as adults when older than six years, which commonly coincides with their emigration from the natal group, and subadult when five to six years old. For most individuals, we could estimate age with a precision of one to 30 days, thanks to long-term records of all births, migrations and deaths in the study groups kept by researchers at the site.
