Yellow fever outbreak temporarily changes dispersal patterns in an endangered primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 911-922, June 2026.
Golden lion tamarins had their annual adult survival strongly impacted by a yellow fever outbreak in 2017–2018. At the same time, they temporarily changed their dispersal patterns. Despite a 30% decline, the population has come back to levels higher than pre‐outbreak ones. Abstract Disease outbreaks can severely affect populations in the wild. However,

When conservation meets contagion: Mapping yellow fever risk to guide vaccination in an endangered primate

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Spatial projections revealed high‐risk areas for YF transmission, highlighting priority zones for targeted vaccination efforts in GLTs. By integrating disease ecology into conservation planning, this study offers a scalable framework for spatially informed interventions aimed at mitigating disease‐driven declines in threatened species.

Outbreak of Toxoplasmosis Caused by the Brazilian Lineage Type BrII in Black Lion Tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) Co‐Infected With Leishmania sp.

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Toxoplasmosis and leishmaniosis are zoonotic diseases that affect several species of neotropical primates. Methods Three black lion tamarins (Leontopithecus chrysopygus) kept at a Brazilian zoo died due to a superacute disease.

Responses to Scent Marks in a Wild Group of Leontocebus Weddelli: Insights for Sexual Communication

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 5, May 2026.
In wild saddleback tamarins, scent marks from the adult breeding female elicited the highest response numbers and received the most overmarks from adult breeding males. Together, these findings suggest that olfaction mediates sexual communication in mate attraction and/or mate guarding.

Introducing TropiCam‐AI: A taxonomically flexible automated classifier of Neotropical arboreal mammals and birds from camera‐trap data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1235-1247, April 2026.
Abstract Rapid, accurate assessment of arboreal vertebrates in tropical forests remains a bottleneck for large‐scale biodiversity monitoring, due to the challenges and effort associated with traditional survey methods. To bridge this gap, arboreal camera‐trapping is emerging as a promising way to observe otherwise elusive species, opening new avenues ...

To be or Not to be Hybrids? A Case‐Study in an Allochthonous Population Involving Illegal Introductions of the Endangered Golden‐Headed and Golden Lion Tamarins

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2026.
Genetic analyses of an allochthonous population of Leontopithecus, illegally introduced into an area of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest in Rio de Janeiro, did not detect signs of hybridization. This data provides crucial information to support conservation efforts and prevent new threats to the endangered lion tamarins. ABSTRACT Allochthonous species can

Contexts of Anointing Behavior in a Group of Blond Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus flavius) Inhabiting an Atlantic Forest Fragment

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2026.
Wild blond capuchin anoints with millipede species that secrete a chemical capable of repelling ectoparasites, suggesting a self‐medicative function. Social and solitary anointing bouts occurred at similar frequencies, but with greater engagement by adult males, indicating that anointing is a multifunctional behavior.

Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2257-2284, December 2025.
ABSTRACT While intergroup conflict features prominently in the behavioural ecology literature, its antonym, intergroup peace, has been a rather neglected phenomenon until recently. Neighbourly relations and affiliative interactions are far from uncommon.

Role of protected areas in mitigating range loss and local extinctions of terrestrial mammals

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) are a major tool in biodiversity conservation, but the extent to which they mitigate species declines is often unclear. We evaluated the effectiveness of PAs in mitigating range contraction and local extinction for 483 terrestrial mammal species.
