Global comparison of habitat intactness models for predicting extinction risk in terrestrial mammals
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.The effects of habitat condition on biodiversity have primarily been investigated using discrete (patch‐matrix) habitat models, which consider habitat fragments as islands embedded in an inhospitable matrix. Recently, continuum habitat models, which focus on ecological gradients without defining habitat or matrix, have emerged.

Dry season drinking from terrestrial man-made watering holes in arboreal wild Temminck’s red colobus, The Gambia [PDF]
, 2015 Like most arboreal primates, redcolobus monkeys obtain most water from plants in their diet, licking their body or drinking occasionally from standing water in tree holes. Terrestrial drinking is not normally reported for arboreal primates.

Population genetic patterns among social groups of the endangered Central American spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) in a human-dominated landscape [PDF]
, 2013 Spider monkeys (Genus: Ateles) are a widespread Neotropical primate with a highly plastic socioecological strategy. However, the Central American species, Ateles geoffroyi, was recently re-listed as endangered due to the accelerated loss of forest across

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 6, June 2025.Infant being handled by mother. ABSTRACT A range of ecological and social factors have been shown to affect early‐life behaviour in mammals. Primate infants are altricial and thus unable to move independently at birth. As a result, infants in some species are continuously held or carried (handled) by their mother or another caregiver (allomother ...
