Exploring the Relationship between Spontaneous Sister Chromatid Exchange and Genome Instability in Two Cryptic Species of Non-Human Primates [PDF]
Animals, 2023 There are extensive studies on chromosome morphology and karyotype diversity in primates, yet we still lack insight into genomic instability as a key factor underlying the enormous interspecies chromosomal variability and its potential contribution to ...

Gut microbiota signatures of the three Mexican primate species, including hybrid populations. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDiversity of the gut microbiota has proven to be related with host physiology, health and behavior, influencing host ecology and evolution. Gut microbial community relationships often recapitulate primate phylogeny, suggesting phylosymbiotic associations.

Fatal yellow fever among captive non-human primates in southern Colombia, 2025 [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceBackgroundYellow fever virus (YFV) remains a re-emerging zoonotic threat in South America. While epizootics in free-ranging Alouatta spp. are well-documented, little is known about YFV infection in other Neotropical non-human primates (NHPs ...

The ability of captive spider monkeys, Ateles geoffroyi, to visually discriminate between different sizes of food and of non-edible objects [PDF]
Scientific ReportsField studies suggest that the size of potential food items plays an important role in the food selection behavior of nonhuman primates. However, there is only limited knowledge about how good primates are at visually discriminating between the size of ...

Molecular detection of Trypanosoma minasense in captive black-faced black spider monkeys Ateles chamek (mammalia; primate) [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceThe present study aimed to assess Trypanosoma spp. infection in 17 captive black-faced black spider monkeys (Ateles chamek), living at the Zoological Garden of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Blood samples (3 mL) were collected by femoral puncture by certified

Serial visual reversal learning in captive black-handed spider monkeys, Ateles geoffroyi [PDF]
Animal CognitionRecent research suggests that socio-ecological factors such as dietary specialization and social complexity may be drivers of advanced cognitive skills among primates. Therefore, we assessed the ability of 12 black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)

Plant Diversity in the Diet of Costa Rican Primates in Contrasting Habitats: A Meta-Analysis
Diversity, 2023 In human-modified tropical landscapes, the survival of arboreal vertebrates, particularly primates, depends on their plant dietary diversity. Here, we assess the diversity of plants included in the diet of Costa Rican non-human primates, CR-NHP (i.e ...

Primate populations in continuous forest and forest fragments in Central Amazonia [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 1988 Population densities of six primate species (Saguinus midas, Pithecia pithecia, Cebus apella, Chiropotes satanas, Alouatta seniculus and Ateles paniscus) were estimated in continuous forest and in isolated reserves (one of 100 ha and four of 10 ha ...
