Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1937-1959, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Competition and habitat filtering shape Neotropical canopy butterfly communities across a rainfall seasonality gradient

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The stability hypothesis posits that stable environments provide species with predictable resources, where mechanisms that limit similarity, such as competition, are able to drive niche specialization and shape community composition. By contrast, variable and unpredictable environments are expected to allow only those species with appropriate ...

SEROLOGICAL DETECTION OF HEPATITIS A VIRUS IN FREE-RANGING NEOTROPICAL PRIMATES (Sapajus spp., Alouatta caraya) FROM THE PARANÁ RIVER BASIN, BRAZIL

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2016
Nonhuman primates are considered as the natural hosts of Hepatitis A virus (HAV), as well as other pathogens, and can serve as natural sentinels to investigate epizootics and endemic diseases that are of public health importance. During this study, blood

Phylogenetic congruence between Neotropical primates and plants is driven by frugivory

, 2021
Seed dispersal benefits plants and frugivores, and potentially drives co-evolution, with consequences to diversification evidenced for, e.g., primates. Evidence for macro-coevolutionary patterns in multi-specific, plant-animal mutualisms is scarce,

Nutritional and health status of woolly monkeys [PDF]

, 2008
Woolly monkeys (Lagothrix lagotricha and L. flavicauda) are threatened species in the wild and in captivity. Numerous zoological institutions have historically kept Lagothrix lagotricha spp., but only a few of them have succeeded in breeding populations.

A mechatronic platform for behavioral analysis on nonhuman primates [PDF]

, 2012
In this work we present a new mechatronic platform for measuring behavior of nonhuman primates, allowing high reprogrammability and providing several possibilities of interactions.

Should I store, or should I sync?: the breeding strategy of two small neotropical primates under predictable resource availability

, 2020
Primates employ many strategies to deal with the costs of reproduction. While income breeders exploit the food available in their environment during lactation, the most costly phase of reproduction, capital breeders tend to store energy for use in the ...
