Gestural sequences in wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) [PDF]
Abstract 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).

Chromosome polymorphism in Ateles geoffroyi (Cebidae; Primates; Mammalia)
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1992 The karyotype of Ateles geoffroyi (Cebidae; Primates; Mammalia) was studied using G- and C-banding techniques, and standardized idiograms are proposed. A polymorphism of chromosome 3 due to a pericentric inversion has been identified for the first time. Genetic analysis of this polymorphism showed Mendelian inheritance.

Differential fruit choice in two simpatric monkey species and frugivorous bats in southern Mexico
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2018 In order to identify the role played by plant species as a food source in the fruit election of dispersing agents (Alouatta pigra Lawrence 1933, Ateles geoffroyi Kuhl 1820 and frugivorous bats), we developed a study in dry tropical forests in Yucatan ...

Patterns of MHC-G-Like and MHC-B Diversification in New World Monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The MHC class I (MHC-I) region in New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) has remained relatively understudied. To evaluate the diversification patterns and transcription behavior of MHC-I in Platyrrhini, we first analyzed public genomic sequences from the MHC-G-

ASPM and the evolution of cerebral cortical size in a community of New World monkeys.
PLoS ONE, 2012 The ASPM (abnormal spindle-like microcephaly associated) gene has been proposed as a major determinant of cerebral cortical size among primates, including humans.

Universal behaviors as candidate traditions in wild spider monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Candidate traditions were documented across three communities of wild spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) using an a priori approach to identify behavioral variants and a statistical approach to examine differences in their proportional use.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Pinworms of the red howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus) in Colombia. Gathering the pieces of the pinworm-primate puzzle [PDF]
, 2020 Pinworms of primates are believed to be highly host specific parasites, forming co-evolutionary associations with their hosts. In order to assess the strength and reach of such evolutionary links, we need to have a broad understanding of the pinworm ...

Taste-induced facial responses in black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi)
Behavioural Processes, 2021 Taste-induced facial expressions are thought to reflect the hedonic valence of an animal's gustatory experience. We therefore assessed taste-induced facial responses in six black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) to water, sucrose, caffeine, citric acid and aspartame, representing the taste qualities sweet, bitter, and sour, respectively.
