Present and Future: Using Ecological Niche Modeling to Understand the Conservation Status of Alouatta caraya (Primates, Atelidae) and Promote Its Protection. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Free‐living Alouatta caraya: the male (top left) and his females (bottom left). We used ecological niche modeling to assess the species' climate suitability both now and in future projections. Between now and 2030, there is a 31% reduction in distribution.

Tails in Action: Comparative Use of the Prehensile Tail and Substrate in Alouatta macconnelli, Sapajus apella, and Potos flavus. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Barplot representing the frequencies (percentages) of positional behaviors in relation to tail use for Alouatta macconnelli (left), Potos flavus (middle), and Sapajus apella (right). For each species, the left barplot represents all positional behaviors, the middle one postural behaviors, and the right one locomotor behaviors.

First Assembly of a Draft Genome of the Critically Endangered Northern Muriqui (<i>Brachyteles hypoxanthus</i>, Primates, Atelidae) Including Non-Invasive Genotyping Strategies for the Species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
First draft genome assembly of the critically endangered primate northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) and complete mitochondrial genome assembly. Set of microsatellite markers developed for the species for genotyping‐by‐sequencing using high‐throughput sequencing technology and aiming to amplify non‐invasive sampling for population genetics ...

Diversity and Abundance of the Species of Arboreal Mammals in a Tropical Rainforest in Southeast Mexico. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Arboreal camera trapping provides insights about mammals' community in a human‐modified landscape. High species richness in the area nourish the notion of HML as refuges for fauna. ABSTRACT Habitat loss threatens biodiversity worldwide being particularly detrimental in tropical rainforests where a cumulative deforestation expands for decades.

Edge effects and social behavior in three platyrrhines. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Abstract Social behavior is a key adaptation for group‐living primates. It is important to assess changes to social behavior in human‐impacted landscape zones to better understand the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on primate species. We investigated social behavior rate and type in three species of platyrrhines across 100 m anthropogenic edge and

Monkeys Swimming Across Rivers Refine Questions About the Riverine Barrier Hypothesis. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Alouatta macconnelli river crossing, Guyana. ABSTRACT The Riverine Barrier Hypothesis posits that species distributions are limited by large rivers acting as geographical barriers. Accordingly, large rivers have long been thought to be a major driver of the extensive speciation and high levels of biodiversity among platyrrhine primates in South and ...

Tiny Patch, Big Value: A Small Dry Forest Patch Supports Wildlife Conservation in Guanacaste, Costa Rica [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study highlights the biodiversity value of the Murren Reserve, a small tropical dry forest patch in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Using camera traps and opportunistic observations, researchers documented 32 wildlife species, including federally endangered species like the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and puma (Puma concolor), as well as 73 plant species.

A Macaque Model for the Effects of Hybridization on Body Size. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
Virtual measurements from CT scans of living monkeys were used to capture size and shape data on the effects of hybridization in size and variation. ABSTRACT Objectives Genomics research has uncovered recurrent hybridization between hominin species, yet its morphological impact remains understudied.

Comparison of forest regeneration in two sites with different primate abundances in Northwestern Ecuador [PDF]

, 2016
There is increasing evidence that large-bodied primates play important roles as seed dispersers and in the maintenance of tree diversity in forest ecosystems. In this study we compared forest regeneration at two sites with differing primate abundances in
