Tool use in urban populations of capuchin monkeys Sapajus spp. (Primates: Cebidae)
Capuchin monkeys, Sapajus Kerr, 1792, are known for their flexible behavior, including tool use, and their ability to survive in urban forests. We observed capuchin juveniles using wood as hammer and anvil and different materials as sponges (four tool ...

Mitochondrial DNA for Phylogeny Building: Assessing Individual and Grouped mtGenes as Proxies for the mtGenome in Platyrrhines. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Phylogenetic trees are analytic tools used in primate studies to elucidate evolutionary relationships. Because of its relative ease to sequence and rapid evolution compared to nuclear genomes, mitochondrial DNA is frequently used for phylogeny building. This project evaluated the effectiveness of using individual or grouped mitochondrial genes

Female Reproductive System Neoplasms in Neotropical Primates. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background There are no previous descriptions of the prevalence of spontaneous female reproductive neoplasms in neotropical primates. Methods A 6‐year study of pathological records from the Anatomy Pathology Sector from the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (SAP/UFRuralRJ) was conducted.

New records and confirmation of the presence of three species of primates (Mammalia, Primates) in southwestern Colombia [PDF]
Cebus albifrons (Humboldt, 1812); Sapajus apella (Linnaeus, 1758) and Aotus lemurinus I. Geoffroy, 1843 are widely distributed primates in Colombia. Despite this, there are gaps in the occurrence of these species in the southwestern part of the country ...

Unveiling the Evolutionary History of cis-Andean Alouatta (Atelidae, Alouattinae) Through Mitochondrial Genomes. [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA analysis suggests that founder‐event speciation played a key role in the divergence between cis‐Andean and trans‐Andean clades, as well as in the diversification of cis‐Andean lineages. Ancestral range reconstruction using mitochondrial genomes indicates that the most recent common ancestor of Alouatta had a widespread distribution ...

The Earliest Known Radiation of Pitheciine Primates. [PDF]
Right mandible and dentition of the holotype of Soriacebus ameghinorum (MACN Pv SC2), from the Early Miocene of Patagonia, compared with the living Cacajao calvus (FMNH 88813, cast), both representing extinct and extant morphologies of the Pitheciinae: Procumbent and styliform incisors and projecting canines represent a morphological complex for ...

A RAD-sequencing approach to genome-wide marker discovery, genotyping, and phylogenetic inference in a diverse radiation of primates. [PDF]
Until recently, most phylogenetic and population genetics studies of nonhuman primates have relied on mitochondrial DNA and/or a small number of nuclear DNA markers, which can limit our understanding of primate evolutionary and population history.
