Chromosomal distribution of interstitial telomeric sequences in nine neotropical primates (Platyrrhini): possible implications in evolution and phylogeny [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
To localize interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs) and to test whether their pattern of distribution could be linked to chromosomal evolution, we hybridized telomeric sequence probes (peptide nucleic acid, PNA) on metaphases of New World monkeys ...

ASPM and the evolution of cerebral cortical size in a community of New World monkeys.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The ASPM (abnormal spindle-like microcephaly associated) gene has been proposed as a major determinant of cerebral cortical size among primates, including humans.

Fur mite,Listrocarpus alouattaeFain (Acari: Atopomelidae), fromAlouatta palliataGray (Primates: Cebidae) in Costa Rica

open access: yesInternational Journal of Acarology, 2002
Abstract Preliminary results of a study on ectoparasites of Costa Rican monkeys are presented. Thirty six mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata Gray, 1849) and 3 capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus Linnaeus, 1758) from different zones of the country were examined for ectoparasites.

Variation in ligand responses of the bitter taste receptors TAS2R1 and TAS2R4 among New World monkeys. [PDF]

open access: yes
BACKGROUND: New World monkeys (NWMs) are unique in that they exhibit remarkable interspecific variation in color vision and feeding behavior, making them an excellent model for studying sensory ecology.
