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.

Visualizing brain size evolution in platyrrhine monkeys: a skull reconstruction, endocast extrapolation, and volume comparison of Cebupithecia sarmientoi [PDF]
, 2023 In 2018, at the paleontological site La Venta, Colombia, the first complete monkey skull from the Middle Miocene epoch (11-13 MYA) was recovered. Paleontologists identified the skull as Cebupithecia sarmientoi, an extinct species of platyrrhine monkey ...

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 ...

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.

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
, 2019 The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Phylogenetic approaches for studying competition in mammals
, 2009 Interspecific competition is often proposed to shape mammalian evolution. Many studies use trait and distribution data on extant species, but this ignores temporal aspects of competition.

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.

Species composition and frequency of habitat use by medium and large-sized mammals in the Brazilian Cerrado Biome, State of Tocantins [PDF]
, 2019 The Cerrado biome is the second largest natural vegetation type existing in Brazil after the Amazon, covering 91% of the State of Tocantins, with 30% of the territory changed as a result of the expansion of economic development areas. The substitution of
