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 ...

Differential fruit choice in two simpatric monkey species and frugivorous bats in southern Mexico
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2018 In order to identify the role played by plant species as a food source in the fruit election of dispersing agents (Alouatta pigra Lawrence 1933, Ateles geoffroyi Kuhl 1820 and frugivorous bats), we developed a study in dry tropical forests in Yucatan ...

Diurnal Vocal Patterns of the Black Howler Monkey (Alouatta pigra) at Lamanai, Belize [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2002 Abstract The majority of the literature describing howling monkeys (Cebidae) has focused on only 2 of 6 species in the genus. These studies have revealed differences in behavior between species and differences within species at different locations. One study has been published describing the vocal patterns of the black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra ...
