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

Ecology and Evolution
Tropical dry forests are among the most threatened tropical ecosystems due to ongoing agricultural expansion and development. Despite this, small forest patches persist within fragmented landscapes, though their conservation value remains poorly ...

Mammal diversity and tourism influence in an under-investigated region of Costa Rica [PDF]

ZooKeys
Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, hosting almost 4% of all known mammals. Although the local mammals have undoubtedly been more investigated than those of other Central American countries, some regions still appear poorly ...

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.

Ciclo estral de Alouatta palliata y Alouatta seniculus: una revisión

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y de Zootecnia, 2023
El mono aullador rojo colombiano (A. seniculus) y mono aullador de manto (A. palliata) son representantes del género Alouatta en Colombia y, según análisis de la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN), sus poblaciones tienden a decrecer por múltiples factores. Esto sugiere la necesidad de orientar acciones para su conservación,

Plant Diversity in the Diet of Costa Rican Primates in Contrasting Habitats: A Meta-Analysis

Diversity, 2023
In human-modified tropical landscapes, the survival of arboreal vertebrates, particularly primates, depends on their plant dietary diversity. Here, we assess the diversity of plants included in the diet of Costa Rican non-human primates, CR-NHP (i.e ...

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
