The Scent Gland Microbiomes of Wild Tamarins Provide New Insight Into Microbial Contributions to Olfactory Communication

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our study investigated the microbiomes of suprapubic and sternal scent glands in two wild tamarin species to explore their putative roles in odor production and communication. Using metagenomic sequencing, we identified 18 odor‐associated microbial taxa and 26 related metabolic pathways, finding significant differences in microbial diversity and ...

Redefining infections with trypanosomatids in Neotropical primates: Case study of the white-footed tamarin (Oedipomidas leucopus)

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Trypanosomes are blood parasites capable of infecting nearly any vertebrate. Many Neotropical primates frequently host trypanosomes and are considered potential reservoirs for Trypanosoma cruzi and other human-pathogenic trypanosomatids.

Neopterin as a Tool for Primate Ecoimmunology: Current Knowledge, Practical Application, and New Directions From Captivity to the Wild

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 10, October 2025.
Neopterin is a sensitive and specific biomarker of intracellular pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, and affected by environmental, life‐history, and sex‐contextual factors. This review offers best‐practice guidelines and practical advice on sample collection, storage, and analysis in primates when used for ecoimmunological conservation and ...

Parasitism of trees by marmosets (Primates: Callitrichidae) enhance tree turnover

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
We tested if gouging by Callithrix jacchus affects tree survival. The proportion of dead gouged trees in forest fragments was higher than the proportion of dead non-gouged trees, with larger effect on smaller trees.
