The role of flower consumption in Howler Monkey Females’ diet: adjustment across reproductive states [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Although the genus Alouatta is considered a folivore and frugivore species, the consumption of vegetative parts like flowers often represents a considerable percentage of their diet.

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.

Sources of Variation in Fecal Haptoglobin in a Population of Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus imitator). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Fecal haptoglobin values show significant seasonal variation in wild capuchin monkeys. Values are highest, and most variable in the early‐mid dry season, when fruit is typically scarce and water sources are standing pools, which can accumulate pathogens.

Copromicroscopic Diagnosis and Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Humans and Nonhuman Primates That Share an Ecosystem in the State of Veracruz, Mexico

Journal of Parasitology Research
The expansion of human populations and their associated land use practices are contributing to the fragmentation of forest ecosystems, thereby impacting the habitats of wildlife, including nonhuman primates (NHPs). This increased proximity between humans

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 ...

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 ...
