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.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Serosurvey for hepatitis A in neotropical primates in southeast Brazil
, 2014 Background Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is the cause of a zoonotic disease, which has only humans and non-humans primates as its natural hosts. Methods The seroprevalence of antibodies anti-HAV in wild and captive neotropical primates were investigated ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Predicting Mammal Species Suitable for Chagas Disease Spread Using a Machine‐Learning Framework
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Chagas disease is maintained in wildlife by Trypanosoma cruzi cycling among many mammal species, but we still do not know the full range of potential hosts. Using machine learning and ecological/behavioral traits, we found that kissing bugs overlap with 573 mammal species and tend to feed on mammals that are den‐dwelling, medium‐to‐large in size, and ...

Zoonotic Blood-Borne Pathogens in Non-Human Primates in the Neotropical Region: A Systematic Review [PDF]
, 2021 peer reviewedUnderstanding which non-human primates (NHPs) act as a wild reservoir for blood-borne pathogens will allow us to better understand the ecology of diseases and the role of NHPs in the emergence of human diseases in Ecuador, a small country ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Climate change has reached unprecedented levels, causing frequent extreme events like droughts and fires. These changes are driving a sharp rise in extinction risk for mammals and threatening key Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) such as clean water, air quality, and climate regulation.

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,

Diversification and coexistence amid widespread and persistent gene flow in Andean trees
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Andean Prunus species diversify into and occupy distinct elevation zones, remaining morphologically distinct. Yet, ancient introgression and recent admixture cross both phylogenetic and ecological distances. This suggests these species function as a long‐lived syngameon rather than fully isolated lineages, which may help explain how tree diversity ...
