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

Mechanical Defenses in Leaves Eaten by Costa Rican Howling Monkeys (Alouatta palliata) [PDF]
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2005 Primate species often eat foods of different physical properties. This may have implications for tooth structure and wear in those species. The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanical defenses of leaves eaten by Alouatta palliata from different social groups at Hacienda La Pacifica in Costa Rica.

Caudal Vertebral Body Articular Surface Morphology Correlates with Functional Tail Use in Anthropoid Primates [PDF]
, 2014 Prehensile tails, capable of suspending the entire body weight of an animal, have evolved in parallel in New World monkeys (Platyrrhini): once in the Atelinae (Alouatta, Ateles, Brachyteles, Lagothrix), and once in the Cebinae (Cebus, Sapajus ...

A Macaque Model for the Effects of Hybridization on Body Size. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolVirtual 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.

Gastrointestinal parasites in captive and free-ranging Cebus albifrons in the Western Amazon, Ecuador [PDF]
, 2017 Currently, there is a lack of surveys that report the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in the white-headed capuchin monkey (Cebus albifrons). We therefore assessed the presence and richness (= number of different parasite genera) of parasites in ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...
