Behavioral Flexibility and the Conservation Value of Howler Monkey Populations in Small Habitat Patches. [PDF]
Standardized effect sizes of the relationships between predictor and response variables. Natural logarithms are denoted as “ln.” Open circles (blue outline) indicate mostly positive effects; solid circles (red filled) indicate mostly negative effects. ABSTRACT Species occupying small habitat patches and exhibiting behavioral and ecological flexibility ...

Parasite-Host Associations in Pinworms (Trypanoxyuris spp.) From Spider Monkeys (Ateles spp.). [PDF]
Lineages in pinworms from Ateles monkeys are highly host‐specific and their diversification patterns reflect host biogeographic and evolutionary histories. ABSTRACT Pinworms of primates are highly host‐specific parasites that, in several lineages, are known to share their evolutionary history with that of their hosts.

Flower Feeding and Reproductive Timing in Spix's Night Monkeys (<i>Aotus vociferans</i>): Evidence From Arboreal Camera Traps. [PDF]
This article provides new insights into the diet and reproductive biology of the Spix's night monkeys (Aotus vociferans). This evidence was collected using arboreal camera traps in a tropical mountain rainforest in Southern Ecuador, where documented information on this primate is rare.

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

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

Análisis de vocalizaciones de dos especies de monos aulladores panameños (Alouatta coibensis y Alouatta palliata: Atelidae), República de Panamá [PDF]
Barks and choruses of Alouatta coibensis trabeata, and Alouatta palliata aequatorialis, were analyzed to compare the frequency bands within their calls. Significant differences were found in number of frequency bands and maximum frequency.
