Amplification Dynamics of Platy-1 Retrotransposons in the Cebidae Platyrrhine Lineage

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019
Platy-1 elements are Platyrrhine-specific, short interspersed elements originally discovered in the Callithrix jacchus (common marmoset) genome. To date, only the marmoset genome has been analyzed for Platy-1 repeat content. Here, we report full-length Platy-1 insertions in other New World monkey (NWM) genomes (Saimiri boliviensis, squirrel monkey ...

Centromeric enrichment of LINE-1 retrotraposon in two species of South American monkeys Alouatta belzebul and Ateles nancymae (Platyrrhini, Primates)

Caryologia, 2022
LINE-1 are retrotransposable elements, a kind of repetitive DNA included in the heterochromatin regions of chromosomes. Repetitive DNA represent one of the major genomic components which role is not still clear challenging genomic assembly.

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Phylogenomics of Amazonian squirrel monkeys (Saimiri: Primates, Cebidae)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution
Phylogenetic relationships among squirrel monkeys (genus Saimiri) are still poorly resolved. Morphology-based taxonomies range from two to 12 taxa, while molecular phylogenies have recovered up to 17 different lineages. The last species account lists 11 taxa: Saimiri boliviensis boliviensis, S. boliviensis peruviensis, S. vanzolinii, S.

Cytogentic relations among the genera of the subfamily Pitheciinae (Cebidae, Primates) [PDF]

Caryologia, 2001
Abstract A comparative chromosomal analysis was carried out in some specimens of the three genera of the subfamily Pitheciinae (Pithecia, Chiropotes and Cacajao) using a classic cytogenetic technique (G-banding). The three genera present distinct 2n: Pithecia presents 2n=48, Chiropotes 2n=54 and Cacajao 2n=45 in the males and 2n=46 in the females.

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

American 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 ...

Absence of Blood Chimerism in Twin Goeldi's Monkeys (Callimico goeldii): Implications for Interpreting Callitrichid Phylogeny

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 9, September 2025.
All Callitrichidae have twins who are chimeras, but Callimico has singletons. We examined evidence of blood chimerism in the only known surviving Callimico twins, and found that they were non‐chimeric. This represents the first report of the absence of blood chimerism in twins of any callitrichid species.

Wild Encounters: Analyzing Human–Animal Interactions in British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums Facilities

Zoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 461-473, September/October 2025.
We investigated the quantity and diversity of animal–visitor interactions in BIAZA‐accredited facilities, finding 740 opportunities for interactions across a range of contexts including walkthroughs and handling. Meet and greets were the most offered and were influenced by the number of individual animals, cost of interaction, and animal popularity ...
