An Evaluation of the Contemporary Uses and Cultural Significance of Mammals in Mexico [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We evaluated current uses of wild mammals by indigenous and mestizo communities in Mexico by extracting data from 59 sources published or produced between 1987–2017, covering data from 240 localities and 3,905 questionnaires.

Vector-borne transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi among captive Neotropical primates in a Brazilian zoo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Neotropical primates are important sylvatic hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Infection is often subclinical, but severe disease has been described in both free-ranging and captive primates.

Phylogenetic relationships among Brazilian howler monkeys, genus Alouatta (Platyrrhini, Atelidae), based on g1-globin pseudogene sequences

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 1999
The genus Alouatta (howler monkeys) is the most widely distributed of New World primates, and has been arranged in three species groups: the Central American Alouatta palliata group and the South American Alouatta seniculus and Alouatta caraya groups ...

New World monkeys: distribution and origin of South American monkeys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Majmuni Novog svijeta (Platyrrhini) primati su koji žive u tropskim šumama Južne i Srednje Amerike. Od majmuna Starog svijeta (Catarrhini) razlikuju se anatomijom i načinom života. Smatra se da su se ove dvije linije majmuna odvojile prije oko 35 mil.

Detection of fruit and the selection of primate visual pigments for color vision [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Primates have X chromosome genes for cone photopigments with sensitivity maxima from 535 to 562 nm. Old World monkeys and apes (catarrhines) and the New World (platyrrhine) genus Alouatta have separate genes for 535-nm (medium wavelength; M) and 562-nm ...

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 ...
