Yawning and scratching contagion in wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)
Behavioural contagion is a widespread phenomenon in animal species, which is thought to promote coordination and group cohesion. Among non-human primates, however, there is no evidence of behavioural contagion in Platyrrhines (i.e.

Increased folivory in brown spider monkeys Ateles hybridus living in a fragmented forest in Colombia
Brown spider monkeys Ateles hybridus are one of the most threatened primates in the Neotropics. Most of the remaining populations of this species already live either in forest fragments or in areas that face imminent anthropogenic disturbance ...

Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Estudos sobre nematodeos filarideos: Dipetalonema caudispina (Molin 1858)
The A. studies critically the literature on D. caudispina (Molin, 1858) and concludes that it is a good species, differing from D. gracilis (Rudolphi, 1809), principally, by the longer spicule.

Inspiratory and expiratory tracheal pressures during high‐intensity exercise in harness racehorses
Abstract Background Exercise‐related upper respiratory tract (URT) disorders are common in racehorses. Objective assessment of URT mechanics is essential to quantify degrees of obstruction caused by URT disorders identified upon dynamic endoscopy. Objectives To establish reference values for inspiratory and expiratory tracheal pressures (cmH2O) during ...

A New World Monkey microsatellite (AP74) higly conserved in Primates
Given their great variability, microsatellites or STRPs became the most commonly used genetic markers over the last 15 years. The analysis of these markers requires minimum quantities of DNA, allowing the use of non invasive samples, such as feces or ...

Fungal Diversity and Potential Health Benefits of Mycophagy in Chacma Baboons (Papio ursinus)
Free‐ranging chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) in Nature's Valley, South Africa, of multiple age/sex classes eat diverse fungi (10 identified to species level, 3 to genus level). We assess potential nutritional, medicinal and ecosystem implications of consumption of these fungi based on human and other mammalian mycophagy literature.
