Revisiting Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus capucinus) and the Ancient Maya

Revue de Primatologie, 2014
Two genera of nonhuman primates, howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata and A. pigra) and spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) currently reside throughout the area inhabited by the modern Maya. Michael Coe (1978, 1989) suggested that the Classic Maya (A.D.

Evidence-based conservation education in Mexican communities: Connecting arts and science.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Several studies suggest that 63% of primate species are currently threatened due to deforestation, pet-trade, and bushmeat hunting. Successful primate conservation strategies require effective educational programs capable of enhancing critical system ...

Linking locally valued plants and places for conservation, Community Baboon Sanctuary, Belize

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Local people make daily decisions around land use, many living in or near conservation areas. Community members may already value and care for important local areas by employing self-imposed use restrictions regardless of formal conservation area ...

Climatic–Anthropogenic Synergy Drives Escalating Minimum Area Requirements and Connectivity‐Protection Mismatch in a Karst‐Endemic Primate

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Gut Microbiota of Gray Snub‐Nosed Monkeys: Adaptation to Seasonal Variations Through Energy Compensation and Thermogenesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs), the gut microbiota of the gray snub‐nosed monkeys recovered 1229 non‐redundant MAGs. The gut microbiota showed an enhanced capacity to produce energy substrates with increased conversion activity of these substrates during winter.

MHC class II DRB variability in wild black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra), an endangered New World primate [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2018
The genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are the most important genetic component of the immune system in vertebrates. Their variability is known to influence a species’ ability to recognize and respond to pathogens.

Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 4, December 2026.
By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.
