Geographical variation of cshromosomal numberin Alouatta fusca damitans (Primates, Atelidae) [PDF]
Abstract A variation in the karyotype of Alouatta fusca clamitam from different geographical ranges is presented. Blood samples of six captive specimens from different States of Brazil were analyzed. Distinct diploid numbers were found: 2n=52, 2n=45 and 46. The odd number was due to Y-autosome translocation.

Polymorphism of visual pigment genes in the muriqui (Primates, Atelidae) [PDF]
AbstractColour vision varies within the family Atelidae (Primates, Platyrrhini), which consists of four genera with the following cladistic relationship: {Alouatta[Ateles(LagothrixandBrachyteles)]}. Spider monkeys (Ateles) and woolly monkeys (Lagothrix) are characteristic of platyrrhine monkeys in possessing a colour vision polymorphism.

Photopigments and colour vision in New World monkeys from the family Atelidae [PDF]
Most New World monkeys have an X-chromosome opsin gene polymorphism that produces a variety of different colour vision phenotypes. Howler monkeys (Alouatta), one of the four genera in the family Atelidae lack this polymorphism. Instead, they have acquired uniform trichromatic colour vision similar to that of Old World monkeys, apes and people through ...

Incisor cross-sectional area at the cementoenamel junction correlates with an increased reliance on frugivory in anthropoid primates. [PDF]
Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains

Phylogenetic inferences of Atelinae (Platyrrhini) based on multi-directional chromosome painting in Brachyteles arachnoides, Ateles paniscus paniscus and Ateles b. marginatus [PDF]
We performed multi-directional chromosome painting in a comparative cytogenetic study of the three Atelinae species Brachyteles arachnoides, Ateles paniscus paniscus and Ateles belzebuth marginatus, in order to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships ...
