Howler Monkeys (Alouatta palliata mexicana) Produce Tannin-Binding Salivary Proteins
Dietary tannins are ubiquitous in woody plants and may have serious negative effects on herbivores by inducing a loss of dietary protein and producing toxins if they are hydrolyzed in the gut. Many herbivorous mammals counter the negative effects of tannins through tannin-binding salivary proteins (TBSPs) that inactivate tannins by forming insoluble ...

Abnormal pelage color in mantled howler monkey (Alouatta palliata mexicana) in Veracruz, México
El leucismo es una despigmentación total o parcial del pelaje, mientras que el albinismo es la pérdida total de pigmentos en el cuerpo entero; las condiciones anormales de la carencia del pigmento se deben a la expresión de genes recesivos. Se realizó una expedición ad libitum en el Ejido Álvaro Obregón, al suroeste de Nuevo Cantón, municipio de ...

The Influence of Large Tree Density on Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata mexicana) Presence in Very Small Rain Forest Fragments [PDF]
The populations of the Mexican mantled howler monkey (Alouatta palliata mexicana) in the Los Tuxtlas region, Mexico, have declined drastically due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Nevertheless, several troops still inhabit very small and isolated rain forest fragments.

Mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) occupy a wide variety of tropical habitats and are the most folivorous of New World primates. However, their diet may include fruits, buds, petioles, and flowers, as well as leaves, suggesting they must cope with variations in the nutrient composition of their food.

Use of space in two neighboring groups of the howler monkey Alouatta palliata mexicana (Primates: Atelidae): overlap and home range size [PDF]
The interaction between primate groups and the dynamics involved in the use of space are important factors affecting both competition for resources and intergroup dominance. In the present study we analyzed the differences in home range overlap and intergroup size, as well as the diversity of tree species within the home range, the Value Index for the ...

Population Viability Analysis of Howler Monkeys ( Alouatta Palliata Mexicana ) in a Highly Fragmented Landscape in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico [PDF]
We performed a population viability analysis (PVA) using a stochastic population model employing RAMAS/Metapop software: 1) to evaluate the contribution of demographic parameters to population growth, and 2) to simulate group trend and local extinction probability of the Mexican mantled howler monkeys Alouatta palliata mexicana in Los Tuxtlas, Mexico ...
