Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 248-256, May 2020., 2020 Conservation projects in zoos require translocations of captive animals, which may spread pathogens. We aimed to verify the occurrence of vectors (triatomines and sandflies) and to investigate Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infections in captive wild mammals in the Zoo Brasília.

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2023 No se cuenta con descripciones de la estructura interna del MC del único primate simiiforme (antropoideo) nocturno, Aotus. Dado que el MC es importante en la regulación del sueño, se evaluó esta estructura en Aotus, con una técnica histológica y otra Inmunohistoquímica. El MC de Aotus y Homo contienen esencialmente los mismos elementos grises y blancos.

Mammal extinctions and the increasing isolation of humans on the tree of life
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 914-924, February 2019., 2019 If no action is taken, we, humans, will force our uniqueness. Pruning threatened primates, including apes (Hominidae, Hylobatidae), from the tree of life will lead to our species being among the mammal species with the fewest close relatives. We will impact our future while driving our close relatives to extinction.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 71-81, May 2017., 2017 The expanding international wildlife trade, combined with a lack of surveillance for key animal diseases in most countries, represents a potential pathway for transboundary disease movement. We reviewed peer‐reviewed literature for reports of 73 OIE‐Listed terrestrial animal diseases in wild animals and found 528 possible wild animal hosts using our ...

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 7, July 2025.We found rich and compositionally different assemblages of medium and large‐sized mammals in protected areas on the southern edge of Amazon. However, both have high rates of mammal defaunation. We argue that anthropogenic threats in the Amazon Arc of Deforestation are eroding large ungulate populations, especially peccaries.

Terrestriality across the primate order: A review and analysis of ground use in primates
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 33, Issue 4, August 2024.Abstract Terrestriality is relatively rare in the predominantly arboreal primate order. How frequently, and when, terrestriality appears in primate evolution, and the factors that influence this behavior, are not well understood. To investigate this, we compiled data describing terrestriality in 515 extant nonhuman primate taxa.
