Comparative gastrointestinal organ lengths among Amazonian primates (Primates: Platyrrhini)
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 181, Issue 3, Page 440-453, July 2023., 2023 Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) comparing the individual gastrointestinal variation based on Euclidean distance (51% of explanation for the axis 1 and 26% of axis 2), where CeQ, cecal quotient; CoQ, colonic quotient; EQ, esophageal quotient; GQ, gastric quotient; IQ, small intestine quotient; RQ, rectal quotient. Ellipses represent 95% confidence

Beans with bugs: Covert carnivory and infested seed selection by the red‐nosed cuxiú monkey
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 579-593, May 2023., 2023 The red‐nosed cuxiu monkey specializes in eating un‐ripe seeds. Our study show they prefer those that are infested with larval insects. We believe this to be because the seeds they eat are very low in protein, while larval insects are protein‐rich and also easily digested.

Z‐nucleic acids: Uncovering the functions from past to present
European Journal of Immunology, Volume 52, Issue 11, Page 1700-1711, November 2022., 2022 This article summarizes the research on Z‐nucleic acid historically and highlights the milestones in this field, including the discovery, characterization of the Z‐nucleic acids and their biological functions mediated by interacting with Z‐nucleic acid binding proteins such as ZBP1, ADAR1, and so on.

Wild meat trade over the last 45 years in the Peruvian Amazon
Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract The trade in wild meat is an important economic component of rural people's livelihoods, but it has been perceived to be among the main causes of the decline of wildlife species. Recently, the COVID‐19 pandemic has brought to light an additional concern of wildlife markets as a major human‐health challenge.

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Amazonian wildlife population studies often employ conventional biological survey methods to assess species presence but a growing number of studies are making use of local ecological knowledge (LEK) household surveys. Despite concerns in the scientific community over the accuracy and precision of LEK, scant research to date compares data from

Phylogenetic studies of the genus
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 Background Chromosomal painting, using whole chromosome probes from humans and Saguinus oedipus, was used to establish karyotypic divergence among species of the genus Cebus, including C. olivaceus, C. albifrons, C. apella robustus and C.

A phylogenomic perspective on the robust capuchin monkey (Sapajus) radiation : first evidence for extensive population admixture across South America [PDF]
, 2018 Phylogenetic relationships amongst the robust capuchin monkeys (genus Sapajus) are poorly understood. Morphology-based taxonomies have recognized anywhere from one to twelve different species.
