Sperm Morphology Assessment in Captive Neotropical Primates

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2016
ContentsThe main objective of this study was to evaluate sperm morphology in four neotropical primate species to compare the sperm morphological traits and the sperm morphometric parameters as a basis for establishing normative sperm standards for each species.

Effect of Site Attributes and Matrix Composition on Neotropical Primate Species Richness and Functional Traits: A Comparison Among Regions

Diversity, 2019
Fragmentation threatens biodiversity and forest-dwelling animals can be especially vulnerable. Neotropical primates inhabit forests and play ecological roles in maintaining forest biodiversity. Currently, many primate communities are restricted to forest

Unrewarded Object Combinations in Captive Parrots [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2014
In primates, complex object combinations during play are often regarded as precursors of functional behavior. Here we investigate combinatory behaviors during unrewarded object manipulation in seven parrot species, including kea, African grey parrots and

Fetal malformation in a marmoset (Callithrix jacchus): case report

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2014
Callithrix jacchus is a neotropical primate adaptable in captivity. Colonies can be easily established in a short time and at low cost compared to other species of larger primates, which are normally used in laboratory.

Tool skill impacts the archaeological evidence across technological primates

Scientific Reports
The archaeological record offers insights into our evolutionary past by revealing ancient behaviour through stone and fossil remains. Percussive foraging is suggested to be particularly relevant for the emergence of tool-use in our lineage, yet early ...

Safety and Immunogenicity of the Attenuated Yellow Fever Vaccine in Several Neotropical Primate Species

Vaccines
Background/Objective: Yellow fever (YF) is an acute infectious disease caused by the yellow fever virus which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Neotropical primates are susceptible to infection, which is often presented as epizootic outbreaks. The aim was to

Trends in the use of studbooks in captive breeding programs of Neotropical primates

Neotropical Primates, 2020
Studbooks are databases of individual genealogical records of ex situ populations. Since they are an essential tool in man- agement and planning, we conducted a search of studbook reports to explore historical trends in breeding programs of ...

The origin and evolution of neotropical primates

, 2008
A significant event in the early evolution of Primates is the origin and radiation of anthropoids, with records in North Africa and Asia. The New World Primates, Infraorder Platyrrhini, have probably originated among these earliest anthropoids morphologically and temporally previous to the catarrhine/platyrrhine branching .

Adaptive evolution of facial colour patterns in Neotropical primates [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012
The rich diversity of primate faces has interested naturalists for over a century. Researchers have long proposed that social behaviours have shaped the evolution of primate facial diversity. However, the primate face constitutes a unique structure where the diverse and potentially competing functions of communication, ecology and physiology intersect,

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.
