Special issue: Comparative biogeography of Neotropical primates

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2015
New research presented in this special issue of Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution on the "Phylogeny and Biogeography of Neotropical Primates" greatly improves our understanding of the evolutionary history of the New World monkeys and provides insights into the multiple platyrrhine radiations, diversifications, extinctions, and recolonizations that ...

Alpha satellite DNA in neotropical primates (Platyrrhini)

Chromosoma, 1994
The alpha satellite DNA of Old World (catarrhine) primates usually consists of similar, but not identical, ca. 170 bp sequences repeated tandemly hundreds to thousands of times. The 170 bp monomeric repeats are components of higher-order repeats, many of which are chromosome specific.

Identification of Bacterial Infection in Neotropical Primates

Microbial Ecology, 2013
Emerging infectious diseases usually arise from wild animal populations. In the present work, we performed a screening for bacterial infection in natural populations of New World primates. The blood cell bulk DNAs from 181 individuals of four Platyrrhini genera were PCR screened for eubacterial 16S rRNA genes.

Parasites of Neotropical Primates: A Review

International Journal of Primatology, 2018
The study of parasites is of great relevance to primatology given their ecological significance and their effects on primate demography, behavior, and evolution. Moreover, assessing the vulnerability of endangered species to parasitic infections is important in developing appropriate conservation strategies.

The primates of the Neotropics: genomes and chromosomes

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2004
The classification of neotropical primates has been controversial. Different arrangements have been proposed, depending on taxonomic criteria and on the traits selected for phylogenetic reconstructions. These include gross morphologic characters, karyotypic attributes and DNA sequence data of nuclear and mitochondrial genes and of repetitive genomic ...

Zika Virus in Peridomestic Neotropical Primates, Northeast Brazil

EcoHealth, 2019
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne viral disease associated with fetal microcephaly and other central nervous system (CNS) symptomatology. It was first identified in a Rhesus macaque in Uganda in 1947 and later in humans (Zika fever). In 2015, ZIKV was notified in Northeast Brazil where it was associated with CNS alterations and with rapid epidemic ...

Behavioural Thermoregulation in a Small Neotropical Primate

Ethology, 2014
AbstractThe maintenance of body temperature in endothermic animals imposes considerable metabolic costs that vary with air temperature fluctuations. To minimise these costs, endotherms can adopt certain behaviours to adjust the pattern of heat transfer between their bodies and the environment.

Primate origins: Lessons from a neotropical marsupial

American Journal of Primatology, 1990
AbstractThe didelphid Caluromys shows evolutionary convergence towards prosimians in having a relatively large brain, large eyes, small litters, slow development, and agile locomotion. The selection pressures that favored the emergence of primate‐like traits in Caluromys from a generalized didelphid ancestor may be analogous to the selection pressures ...

DNA fingerprinting in three species of neotropical primates

American Journal of Primatology, 1996
DNA fingerprinting allows the simultaneous detection of a large number of hypervariable loci consisting of highly polymorphic tandem repeat units that are extensively dispersed in the genome. With the 33.6 human minisatellite probe, hypervariable fragments were detected, for the first time, in the genome of three different species of wild-caught ...
