Seasonality, richness and prevalence of intestinal parasites of three neotropical primates (Alouatta seniculus, Ateles hybridus and Cebus versicolor) in a fragmented forest in Colombia [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2017 Studies on parasites infecting non-human primates are essential to better understand the potential threat to humans of zoonoses transmission, particularly under the current processes of pervasive land use change and biodiversity loss.

Possible fruit protein effects on primate communities in madagascar and the neotropics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The ecological factors contributing to the evolution of tropical vertebrate communities are still poorly understood. Primate communities of the tropical Americas have fewer folivorous but more frugivorous genera than tropical regions of the Old World and

Large-vertebrate assemblages of primary and secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]
, 2007 Secondary forests account for 40% of all tropical forests yet little is known regarding their suitability as habitat for diurnal large mammals and game birds. This is especially so for second-growth that develops on large areas of degraded land.

Small but Nice–Seed Dispersal by Tamarins Compared to Large Neotropical Primates
Diversity, 2022 Tamarins, small Neotropical primates of the genera Saguinus and Leontocebus, have a mainly frugivorous-faunivorous diet. While consuming the pulp of a high diversity of fruit species, they also swallow seeds and void them intact, thus acting as seed ...

Proximate causes of the red face of the bald uakari monkey (Cacajao calvus) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 In social species, such as primates, facial appearances transmit a variety of social signals. Although it is suggested that the intense red colour of the face of the bald uakari monkey might be an indicator of health, this hypothesis still has not been ...

Rates of agonism among female primates: a cross-taxon perspective [PDF]
, 2013 Agonism is common in group-living animals, shaping dominance relationships and ultimately impacting individual tness. Rates of agonism vary considerably among taxa, however, and explaining this variation has been central in ecological models of female ...

Trends in the use of studbooks in captive breeding programs of neotropical primates
, 2020 : Studbooks are databases of individual genealogical records of ex situ populations. Since they are an essential tool in management and planning, we conducted a search of studbook reports to explore historical trends in breeding programs of Neotropical ...
