Effect of polymorphic colour vision for fruit detection in the spider monkey Ateles geoffroyi, and its implications for the maintenance of polymorphic colour vision in platyrrhine monkeys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Most platyrrhine monkeys have an X-linked tri-allelic polymorphism for medium and long wavelength (M/L) sensitive cone photopigments. These pigments' sensitivity maxima (λmax) range from 535 to 562 nm.

Dental functional morphology predicts the scaling of chewing rate in mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
How food intake and mastication scale to satisfy the metabolic needs of mammals has been the subject of considerable scientific debate. Existing theory suggests that the negative allometric scaling of metabolic rate with body mass is compensated by a ...

Assessing the Determinants of Platyrrhine Quadrupedal Gait Kinematics in an Ecological and Phylogenetic Framework

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 2025.
Results of redundancy analysis and variation partitioning reveal that phylogeny influences quadrupedal kinematics more strongly than do substrate characteristics in platyrrhines moving in their natural habitat. Callitrichines are maximally divergent from other taxa due to their preference for asymmetrical gaits, higher speeds and higher stride ...

Gastrointestinal parasites in captive and free-ranging Cebus albifrons in the Western Amazon, Ecuador [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Currently, there is a lack of surveys that report the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in the white-headed capuchin monkey (Cebus albifrons). We therefore assessed the presence and richness (= number of different parasite genera) of parasites in ...

Unraveling Biogeographic Boundaries Within the Sierra Madre Oriental, México: An Endemicity Analysis Using a Taxonomically Diverse Dataset

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
We provide boundaries of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico through a multi‐taxa endemicity analysis. ABSTRACT The Sierra Madre Oriental (SMO) is a significant mountain range and one of Mexico's 14 biogeographical provinces. Its delimitation has been debated.

Chewing on the trees: Constraintsand adaptation in the evolution of the primate mandible [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Chewing on different food types is a demanding biological function. The classic assumption in studying the shape of feeding apparatuses is that animals are what they eat, meaning that adaptation to different food items accounts for most of their ...

The comparative and functional anatomy of the forelimb muscle architecture of Humboldt's woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3850-3869, December 2024.
Abstract Humboldt's woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagortricha) is a ceboid primate that more frequently engages in plantigrade quadrupedalism (~89%) but is, like most other members of the subfamily Atelinae, capable of suspensory postures and “tail assisted” brachiation.
