Characterization of Stone Tool Use in Wild Groups of Critically Endangered Yellow-Breasted Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus xanthosternos). [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
First camera trap video footage for wild Sapajus xanthosternos cracking resistant nuts with stone tools. ABSTRACT Objectives A hallmark of hominin evolution is the advent and diversification of stone tool use, and biological anthropologists have a particular interest in characterizing tool use behaviors in different hominin species.

Genotyping-by-sequencing informs conservation of Andean palms sources of non-timber forest products. [PDF]

Evol Appl
Abstract Conservation and sustainable management of lineages providing non‐timber forest products are imperative under the current global biodiversity loss. Most non‐timber forest species, however, lack genomic studies that characterize their intraspecific variation and evolutionary history, which inform species' conservation practices.

Frugivory and seed dispersal in the Cerrado: Network structure and defaunation effects

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 849-865, July 2023., 2023
We investigated the Cerrado seed dispersal network and the potential impacts of defaunation on it by performing a systematic literature review. The Cerrado network has a heterogeneous structure, slightly nested and considerably modular, and is dominated by generalist species.

Also in Crayfish: How Phytase Inclusion Avoids Phytic Acid Effects on Hepatopancreas Enzymes of Redclaw Cherax quadricarinatus

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
This work aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary phytic acid on the enzymatic activities of the hepatopancreas of the redclaw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus. For this purpose, a completely randomized in vitro trial was conducted with three phytic acid levels (0.56, 1.68, and 2.80%) and three phytase doses (0, 250, and 500 PU/kg DM).
