Alveolar Echinococcosis Infection in a Monkey (Ateles Geoffroyi) In Mashhad, Iran [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2012
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE), which is caused by ingestion of eggs of the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis, is the most potentially lethal parasitic infection because of its tendency to invade and proliferate in the liver and the difficulty in ...

Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Infection in Nonhuman Primate, Guatemala, 2023 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
We isolated Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) subtype IE phylogenetically related to Gulf Coast strains in a spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) released from a rescue center in Guatemala.

Tractography of the spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) corpus callosum using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The objective of this research was to describe the organization, connectivity and microstructure of the corpus callosum of the spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi). Non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion-tensor imaging were obtained from three

Site fidelity in space use by spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Animal home ranges may vary little in their size and location in the short term but nevertheless show more variability in the long term. We evaluated the degree of site fidelity of two groups of spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) over a 10- and 13-year ...

Flexible Foraging Strategies of Hainan Gibbons (<i>Nomascus hainanus</i>) in Response to Food Variation Across Contrasting Habitats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study, based on long‐term field monitoring and conservation efforts of Hainan gibbons, analyzed their foraging movement strategies across different spatial contexts (Groups C and E) and temporal periods (the fruit‐eating period and the mixed‐diet period).

Monkey Meltdowns: Do Tantrums Influence Maternal Investment in Bearded Capuchin Monkeys? [PDF]

Dev Psychobiol
ABSTRACT Tantrums are widely discussed in human development literature and are typically defined as displays of frustration or anger. In behavioral ecology, they are hypothesized to function as a strategy for securing greater maternal investment. Infant primates often exhibit tantrums when their attempts to obtain maternal care are rejected.

Acoustic variation of spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) contact calls is related to caller isolation and affects listeners' responses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Group living animals produce vocalizations denominated "contact calls" to maintain contact with out-of-sight group members. These calls have been shown to vary with caller identity and distance to potential listeners. However, it is not clear whether the

Thermal Infrared Imaging from Drones Offers a Major Advance for Spider Monkey Surveys

Drones, 2019
Accurate and precise population estimates form the basis of conservation action but are lacking for many arboreal species due to the high costs and difficulty in surveying these species.

Gut microbiota signatures of the three Mexican primate species, including hybrid populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Diversity 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.

Copromicroscopic Diagnosis and Prevalence of Intestinal Parasites in Humans and Nonhuman Primates That Share an Ecosystem in the State of Veracruz, Mexico

Journal of Parasitology Research
The expansion of human populations and their associated land use practices are contributing to the fragmentation of forest ecosystems, thereby impacting the habitats of wildlife, including nonhuman primates (NHPs). This increased proximity between humans
