Variation in the extraction efficiency of estradiol and progesterone in moist and lyiphilized feces of the black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra): alternative methods [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2011
several fecal steroid extraction techniques have been developed to measure the ovary function in different species of mammals. However, regardless of the method of extraction and the sample type chosen, is has been observed that they can yield results ...

Gut microbiota signatures of the three Mexican primate species, including hybrid populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Diversity of the gut microbiota has proven to be related with host physiology, health and behavior, influencing host ecology and evolution. Gut microbial community relationships often recapitulate primate phylogeny, suggesting phylosymbiotic associations.

Serological evidence for potential yellow fever virus infection in non-human primates, southeastern Mexico [PDF]

One Health Outlook, 2023
Background Arthropod-borne flaviviruses like dengue virus (DENV) and yellow fever virus (YFV) are major human pathogens. In Latin America, YFV is maintained in sylvatic cycles involving non-human primates (NHP) and forest-dwelling mosquitos.

The Importance of Sociality and Diet in Explaining Variation in the Bonobo Gut Microbiota. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Bonobo sociality explains more of the variation in the beta diversity for the bonobo gut microbiota than diet. ABSTRACT Gut microbial communities or the gut microbiota are of increasing interest due to the important role they play in nutrition, development, health, and disease.

Microbial and Metabolic Flexibility in Response to Habitat Disturbance in an Ecologically Specialist Primate. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT In the Anthropocene, understanding what renders a species prone to extinction is critical to wildlife management. Ecological specialists are hypothesised to be at particular risk, given that morphological, physiological, and/or behavioural constraints are expected to impede their responses to rapid habitat degradation.

Microbial Variability in Zoo-Housed Alaotran Gentle Lemurs: Host-Associated Factors and Environmental Influences. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Environmental variation is associated with gut microbiota differences in zoo‐housed endangered lemurs. ABSTRACT Primates worldwide face escalating ecological pressures, driving many species to rapid declines. Modern zoos play an essential role by maintaining viable populations and improving welfare through research‐driven management.

Video-Sound Recording Devices Reveal Multiple Drivers of Nocturnal Vocalizations in Tibetan Macaques. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the nocturnal vocal behavior of Tibetan macaques in Huangshan, China, using 4G infrared cameras and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). Findings reveal a bimodal vocalization pattern (18:00–19:00 and 21:00–23:00), influenced by sex, age, social centrality, kinship, and ecological factors such as wind direction, temperature, and ...

Zoonotic Parasites in Marmosets (Callithrix Spp.) From Southern Brazil: Insights From a One Health Perspective. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Background Currently, six species of Callithrix are frequently observed in anthropized and degraded environments in different regions of Brazil. This occupation favors interactions with humans and increases the risk of infection by parasites with zoonotic potential.

Vocalizations Reveal Species Differences in Endangered Lion Tamarins (Primates, Callitrichidae). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Spectral parameters of vocalizations distinguish lion tamarin species. Peak frequency, center frequency, and frequency at 5% and 95% were the most informative measures for separating species, with the trill being the vocalization that showed the most differences, and Leontopithecus caissara being the most distinct species of all.

Risk factors connected to gastrointestinal parasites in mantled Alouatta palliata mexicana and black howler monkeys Alouatta pigra living in continuous and in fragmented rainforests in Mexico

Environmental Epigenetics, 2012
In this study we document the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites (helminths and protozoans) found in fecal samples of populations of Alouatta palliata mexicana and of A.
