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 ...

Gestural Sequences in Wild Spider Monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi). [PDF]
Am J PrimatolAbstract To date, research on gestural communication in species other than great apes has been quite limited, especially in their natural habitat. In this study, we aimed to explore the use of gestural sequences in an understudied neotropical primate species, Geoffroy’s spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi).

The role of sucrose and sensory systems in fruit selection and consumption of Ateles geoffroyi in Yucatan, Mexico [PDF]
Folia Primatologica, 2018 Our aim was to evaluate the role of sucrose and the role of smell, taste and touch in the selection and consumption of fruit in wild spider monkeys. We recorded the feeding bouts of 14 adults for 9 mo in the Otoch Ma’ax Yetel Kooh Reserve, Punta Laguna ...

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.

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

Resistance to antibiotics of clinical relevance in the fecal microbiota of Mexican wildlife. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 There are a growing number of reports of antibiotic resistance (ATBR) in bacteria living in wildlife. This is a cause for concern as ATBR in wildlife represents a potential public health threat.
