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]
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.

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.

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

Analyses of the microbiome of the critically endangered muriqui revealed the importance of host genetics on the microbiome and suggested that social groups, despite being isolated by environmental barriers, host a similar microbiome composition. Abstract The Northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) is one of the world's most critically endangered ...

Predicting wildlife reservoirs and global vulnerability to zoonotic Flaviviruses. [PDF]
Flaviviruses continue to cause globally relevant epidemics and have emerged or re-emerged in regions that were previously unaffected. Factors determining emergence of flaviviruses and continuing circulation in sylvatic cycles are incompletely understood.

Woolly monkeys and uakaries are vulnerable to the anthropic impacts due to their slower reproductive activity compared to other Neotropical primates. There is limited information available on the female reproductive physiology of these species. Although blood clots and endometrial desquamation were not observed, the presence of a menstrual cycle is not
