Possible male infanticide in wild orangutans and a re-evaluation of infanticide risk [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Infanticide as a male reproductive tactic is widespread across mammals, and is particularly prevalent in catarrhine primates. While it has never been observed in wild orangutans, infanticide by non-sire males has been predicted to occur due to their ...

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

open access: yesIntegrative 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 ...

Flotation techniques (FLOTAC and mini-FLOTAC) for detecting gastrointestinal parasites in howler monkeys

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Analyses of environmental correlates of the composition of gastrointestinal parasite communities in black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra) have been hindered by inadequate calibration techniques of detection and quantification methods of the ...

Variable responses of human and non-human primate gut microbiomes to a Western diet [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: The human gut microbiota interacts closely with human diet and physiology. To better understand the mechanisms behind this relationship, gut microbiome research relies on complementing human studies with manipulations of animal models ...

Local knowledge enhances the sustainability of interconnected fisheries

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our modelling approach allows managers to compare alternative conservation strategies under different socio‐ecological scenarios, highlighting trade‐offs and guiding investment of effort and resources. While immediately valuable for pirarucu management in the Middle Juruá, the framework scales across tiers of applicability, each requiring progressively

Species‐level exploration of the gut microbiome in the leaf‐eating Presbytis monkeys reflected the effects of anthropogenic activity and specialized dietary niches: Conservation on the fourth biodiversity level

open access: yesiMetaOmics, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
This study integrates full‐length 16S rRNA and deep metagenomic sequencing to explore species‐level gut microbial composition and function in two endangered leaf‐eating langur species—white‐headed langurs and François' langurs—across gradients of human disturbance.

The Effects of Dependent Infants on the Social Behavior of Mantled Howler Monkeys (Alouatta Palliate) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Six weeks of observation on eight groups of wild mantled howler monkeys revealed that the presence of a dependent infant alters the frequency of social interactions between a female with an infant and other adult monkeys.
