Unraveling the Phenology of the Liana Marcgravia longifolia: Temporal Patterns and Climatic Cues

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We monitored the reproductive phenology of the Amazonian liana Marcgravia longifolia J. F. Macbr (Marcgraviaceae) for 84 consecutive months in the Peruvian Amazon to quantify the timing, synchrony, and seasonality of flowering and ripe fruiting. Flower presence peaked in August with intermediate synchrony, while ripe fruit presence peaked in November ...

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Saguinus (Platyrrhini, Primates) based on the ND1 mitochondrial gene and implications for conservation [PDF]

, 2005
The systematics of the subfamily Callitrichinae (Platyrrhini, Primates), a group of small monkeys from South America and Panama, remains an area of considerable discussion despite many investigations, there being continuing controversy over subgeneric ...

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...

Genomic Insights Into Host Shifts Between Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in Latin America

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria in Latin America is largely caused by Plasmodium vivax, but the closely related monkey parasite Plasmodium simium has recently been observed in humans, thus raising new public health concerns. By screening 719 monkey samples from five Latin America countries, we identified 23 Plasmodium‐positives.

Multiple sex chromosome systems in howler monkeys (Platyrrhini, Alouatta) [PDF]

, 2014
In light of the multiple sex chromosome systems observed in howler monkeys (Alouatta Lacépède, 1799) a combined cladistic analysis using chromosomal and molecular characters was applied to discuss the possible origin of these systems.

Regions of Climatic Stability for Neotropical Primates

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Spatial distribution of climatic stability, endemism, and model uncertainty for Neotropical primates. The left panel depicts projected climatic stability (warm colours = higher proportion of species with persistent climatic suitability; cool colours = lower stability). The upper‐right panel shows endemism (warm colours = higher concentration of endemic

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

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.

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

Coinfection with Canine Distemper Virus and Yellow Fever Virus in a Neotropical Primate in Brazil

Viruses
We describe a natural coinfection with canine distemper virus (CDV) and yellow fever virus in a free-ranging neotropical primate of the genus Callithrix, found dead in the northeastern region of Brazil.
