Population genetics and evolutionary history of the black howler monkey Alouatta pigra and hybrid populations in Mexico

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Genetic diversity is of prime importance for biological diversity and for the long-term conservation and survival of species and populations. The conservation of hybrid individuals originating from natural hybridization is still controversial; nearly ...

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 ...

Rates of agonism among female primates: a cross-taxon perspective [PDF]

, 2013
Agonism is common in group-living animals, shaping dominance relationships and ultimately impacting individual tness. Rates of agonism vary considerably among taxa, however, and explaining this variation has been central in ecological models of female ...

Marked seasonal variation in the wild mouse gut microbiota [PDF]

, 2015
Recent studies have provided an unprecedented view of the microbial communities colonizing captive mice; yet the host and environmental factors that shape the rodent gut microbiota in their natural habitat remain largely unexplored.

Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

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.

Does population increase equate to conservation success? Forest fragmentation and conservation of the black howler monkey

Conservation & Society, 2011
The Community Baboon Sanctuary (CBS) in Belize is a community reserve for the endangered black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra). This study assessed the performance of the CBS as an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Category IV ...

Relationship between age-sex classes and prevalence of Giardia spp. and Blastocistys spp. in black and gold howler monkeys inhabiting fragmented forests [PDF]

, 2021
Algunos estudios han demostrado que a medida que aumenta la edad, el parasitismo también podría aumentar, por otro lado, la falta de inmunidad puede incrementar el riesgo de infección en individuos más jóvenes.

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.
