The floater's dilemma: use of space by wild solitary Azara's owl monkeys, Aotus azarae , in relation to group ranges [PDF]
The fate and behaviour of animals that leave their natal group (‘floaters’) is usually poorly understood, which can limit the understanding of a species' population dynamics.

Our study investigated the microbiomes of suprapubic and sternal scent glands in two wild tamarin species to explore their putative roles in odor production and communication. Using metagenomic sequencing, we identified 18 odor‐associated microbial taxa and 26 related metabolic pathways, finding significant differences in microbial diversity and ...

Structural and functional characterisation of the Toll like receptor 9 of Aotus nancymaae , a non-human primate model for malaria vaccine development [PDF]
In the absence of suitable rodent animal models for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the efficacy testing of asexual blood-stage vaccine candidates in Aotus nancymaae represents a tool to select between different formulations before conducting expensive ...

Trainable COSFIRE filters for vessel delineation with application to retinal images [PDF]
Retinal imaging provides a non-invasive opportunity for the diagnosis of several medical pathologies. The automatic segmentation of the vessel tree is an important pre-processing step which facilitates subsequent automatic processes that contribute to ...

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.

Adaptations of the Vertebrate Retina to Low‐Light Conditions: A Review
ABSTRACT Vision is a critical sensory modality in vertebrates, enabling diverse adaptations to environmental challenges. This review explores the remarkable adaptations of vertebrate eyes to low‐light environments, such as nocturnal habitats, deep‐sea ecosystems and subterranean niches.

Synteny of human chromosomes 14 and 15 in the platyrrhines (Primates, Platyrrhini)
In order to study the intra- and interspecific variability of the 14/15 association in Platyrrhini, we analyzed 15 species from 13 genera, including species that had not been described yet. The DNA libraries of human chromosomes 14 and 15 were hybridized
