Making use of Capuchins’ behavioral propensities to obtain hair samples for DNA analyses [PDF]

, 2015
Genotyping wild and captive capuchins has become a priority and hair bulbs have high quality DNA. Here, we describe a method to non-invasively collect fresh-plucked strands of hair that exploits capuchins’ manual dexterity and propensity to grasp and ...

Competitor Richness Outweighs Climate and Land Cover in Explaining Abundance Variation of a Neotropical Fruit Bat

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding which processes regulate spatial variation in species abundance across their ranges is key in ecology. Species abundances may be affected by several factors, such as climate, elevation, land cover, species interactions and habitat protection status. However, few studies have focused on these effects synergistically across species

Eco-Epidemiological Profile and Molecular Characterization of Simian Foamy Virus in a Recently-Captured Invasive Population of Leontopithecus chrysomelas (Golden-Headed Lion Tamarin) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Viruses, 2019
Simian foamy viruses (SFV) infect a wide range of Old World and Neotropical primates (NP). Unlike Old World primates, little is known about the diversity and prevalence of SFV in NP, mainly from a free-living population.

Habitat Selection and Seed Dispersal by the Great Blue Turaco (Corythaeola cristata) in the Rainforests of Southern Cameroon

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study is the first to use telemetry to document the movements of the great blue turaco, a bird that plays an important role in seed dispersal throughout Africa's Congo Basin. We show how 3D vegetation structure influences the movements of four turacos and the resulting spatial patterns of seed dispersal.

Helminths of Wied’s marmoset (Callithrix kuhlii (Coimbra-Filho, 1985) (Primates: Callitrichidae)) from the Atlantic Forest, Southern Bahia State, Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Callithrix kuhlii is present in forest mosaics, edge habitats, and abandoned fields in the Atlantic Forest. In Bahia and Minas Gerais. This study aimed to identify helminths from C. kuhlii and relate them to the clinical data, weights, and indices of the

The Influence of Signaling Conspecific and Heterospecific Neighbors on Eavesdropper Pressure [PDF]

, 2019
The study of tradeoffs between the attraction of mates and the attraction of eavesdropping predators and parasites has generally focused on a single species of prey, signaling in isolation.

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.

Cascading Effects of Overhunting on the Functional Tree Composition of Amazonian Forests

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We examined how overhunting‐induced defaunation affects the functional composition of tropical tree communities in western Brazilian Amazonia. Using a robust, spatially replicated dataset from 30 forest plots across a well‐defined gradient of hunting pressure, we assessed the impacts of vertebrate depletion on plant recruitment patterns, dispersal ...

Rain forests and movement ecology of neotropical primates [PDF]

, 2015
Movement ecology of arboreal monkeys in Central America involves the action of diverse body postures to address challenges in rain forests, where scattered resources and complex habitat structure demand that a primate frequently employ extreme physical finesse to survive. What is not clearly understood about this area of study is the connection between
