Linking proximate drivers and fitness returns of vigilance in a large ungulate
Vigilance allows animals to quickly detect threats from conspecifics and predators to avoid or minimize costly encounters. Time spent vigilant is usually traded‐off against other fitness‐enhancing activities, such that fitness returns are expected when allocation to vigilance increases.

During a nine month field study, we assess the ability of spider (Ateles geoffroyi) and howler (Alouatta pigra) monkeys to cross a large Mesoamerican river, and if this behavior is related to deforestation and/or human population size on the disturbed ...

Patrones de comportamiento y alimentación del mono aullador Alouatta belzebul en zonas de selva talada y sin talar del este de la Amazonia [PDF]
This work compared the activity patterns and diet of a group of Alouatta belzebul in areas of logged and unlogged forest in eastern Amazonia. An instantaneous scan sampling procedure was used for the behavioral study (9.3 ± 1.9 complete observation days ...

Watch out or relax: conspecifics affect vigilance in wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) [PDF]
In most animal species, predation risk is considered the main factor affecting vigilance, and an individual is expected to spend less time vigilant in larger than in smaller groups.

Morphological variation of genetically confirmed Alouatta Pigra × A. palliata hybrids from a natural hybrid zone in Tabasco, Mexico [PDF]
While hybridization has been reported for a large number of primate taxa, there is a general lack of data on hybrid morphology for wild individuals with known genetic ancestry.

Majmuni Novog svijeta (Platyrrhini) primati su koji žive u tropskim šumama Južne i Srednje Amerike. Od majmuna Starog svijeta (Catarrhini) razlikuju se anatomijom i načinom života. Smatra se da su se ove dvije linije majmuna odvojile prije oko 35 mil.
