Kin structure and parallel dispersal in the black-and-gold howler monkey Alouatta caraya (Platyrrhini, Atelidae)

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2013
We here investigated the kin structure and pattern of dispersal in the black-and-gold howler monkey (Alouatta caraya, Platyrrhini, Atelidae) based on genotype differences at nine microsatellite loci of 48 individuals from eight social groups along the riparian forest of the Tocantins River, Brazil.

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

, 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 ...

Niche differentiation, reproductive interference, and range expansion

Ecology Letters, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2024.
Ecological niche models were used to evaluate whether large differences between rubyspot damselfly (Hetaerina) species in geographic range can be explained by niche differentiation. Surprisingly, the species with the largest latitudinal range has one of the narrowest climatic niches.

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

, 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 ...

Population genetics and evolutionary history of the black howler monkey Alouatta pigra and hybrid populations in Mexico

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Genetic diversity is of prime importance for biological diversity and for the long-term conservation and survival of species and populations. The conservation of hybrid individuals originating from natural hybridization is still controversial; nearly ...
