However, dispersal patterns in New World primates may vary among closely related taxa or populations in different local environments. Here, we test for SBD in an endangered New World primate, the Central American Squirrel Monkey (<jats:italic>Saimiri oerstedii citrinellus</jats:italic>). Previous studies of behavioral ecology suggest predominantly female dispersal in <jats:italic>S.o. oerstedii</jats:italic> in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica.

Our tests for SBD using microsatellite data including comparisons of isolation‐by‐distance, AI<jats:sub>c</jats:sub>, and <jats:italic>F</jats:italic><jats:sub>ST</jats:sub> values between males and females were not significant. Also, we found greater population genetic structure in mitochondrial markers than in microsatellite markers, indicative of predominantly male dispersal. We conclude that both sexes disperse in <jats:italic>S.o. citrinellus</jats:italic>, and that males probably disperse over longer distances. We discuss how spatial and temporal variation among local populations should be taken into account when studying dispersal patterns and especially sex bias. Am. J.
