Hypopigmentation in mantled howler monkeys Alouatta palliata (gray 1849): First documented cases of whole‐body leucism in South America [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Hypopigmentation in vertebrates is the result of genetic impoverishment and it is associated with isolated populations and environmental stressors. In mantled howler monkeys Alouatta palliata (Gray 1849) there are records of hypopigmentation in Mexico and Costa Rica but this is the first documented record of whole‐body leucism in South America in a ...

Forest maturity has a stronger influence on the prevalence of spider monkeys than howler monkeys in an anthropogenically impacted rainforest landscape [PDF]
Primates, 2022 [EN] The transformation and depletion of primary forest over the past few decades have placed almost half of the world's primate species under the threat of extinction. Developing any successful conservation program for primates requires distribution and

A demographic history of a population of howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) living in a fragmented landscape in Mexico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Long-term field studies are critical for our understanding of animal life history and the processes driving changes in demography. Here, we present long-term demographic data for the northernmost population of mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata ...

Diversity and Abundance of the Species of Arboreal Mammals in a Tropical Rainforest in Southeast Mexico [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.Arboreal camera trapping provides insights about mammals' community in a human‐modified landscape. High species richness in the area nourish the notion of HML as refuges for fauna. ABSTRACT Habitat loss threatens biodiversity worldwide being particularly detrimental in tropical rainforests where a cumulative deforestation expands for decades.

Howler monkey foraging ecology suggests convergent evolution of routine trichromacy as an adaptation for folivory [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1421-1434, March 2017., 2017 Primates possess remarkably variable color vision, and the ecological and social factors shaping this variation remain heavily debated. Here, we examine opsin genes, feeding behaviors, and reflectance of dietary foliage of wild mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata).

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Genotypes of Alouatta palliata mexicana
, 2021 Mexican mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata mexicana) represent the northernmost populations of howler monkeys. This is considered a critically endangered subspecies, mainly threatened by habitat loss and transformation. Here we share the microsatellite genotype database for mantled howler monkey populations in Mexico (Alouatta palliata mexicana)
