Infection by Toxoplasma gondii in Neotropical non-human primates
Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2012 Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1909) is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite of warm animals, including human and non-human primates. Domestic and wild felids are considered definitive hosts.

Population recovery of an endangered macaw enhances long‐distance seed dispersal via stomatochory
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Seed dispersal by large, mobile vertebrates plays a key role in shaping plant spatial dynamics and community structure. However, how variation in animal population size influences the magnitude and spatial scale of seed dispersal remains poorly understood.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.We document the first instances of direct oro‐facial contact and facial investigation in wild Cacajao calvus. These rare observations expand the social repertoire of Pitheciidae, suggesting that close‐range tactile communication complements the visual signaling of their distinctive red faces.

Management coverage and spatial gaps for carnivore habitat across Mexico
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.We evaluated the spatial overlap between four land management types and the habitat of 28 terrestrial carnivores in Mexico. Our findings reveal that non‐designated land management types like Indigenous Territories may provide significant habitat coverage, and that significant coverage gaps for carnivores remain.

Fecal and Salivary Cortisol Concentrations in Woolly (Lagothrix ssp.) and Spider Monkeys (Ateles spp.) [PDF]
, 2009 Detrimental physiological effects due to stressors can contribute to the low captive success of primates. The objective of this research was to investigate the potential impact of diet composition on cortisol concentrations in feces and saliva in woolly (

Simian Foamy Viruses in Central and South America: A New World of Discovery
Viruses, 2019 Foamy viruses (FVs) are the only exogenous retrovirus to date known to infect neotropical primates (NPs). In the last decade, an increasing number of strains have been completely or partially sequenced, and molecular evolution analyses have identified an

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2199-2220, August 2026.Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.
