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,

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 ...

Simian Foamy Viruses in Central and South America: A New World of Discovery

Viruses, 2019
Foamy viruses (FVs) are the only exogenous retrovirus to date known to infect neotropical primates (NPs). In the last decade, an increasing number of strains have been completely or partially sequenced, and molecular evolution analyses have identified an

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 ...

Effectiveness of current and potential conservation actions for amphibians, birds and mammals

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our study demonstrates the power of combining differently‐sourced and compiled datasets to evaluate the likely effectiveness of ongoing conservation strategies and identify future needs. Our findings can inform species action plans and conservation spatial‐planning tools, helping to ensure that future conservation efforts are evidence‐based, have ...

Gastrointestinal Parasites in Free‐Ranging Saguinus ursulus From the Eastern Brazilian Amazon: First Report of Prosthenorchis sp.

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Enteroparasites were investigated in free‐ranging Saguinus ursulus from the eastern Brazilian Amazon. Parasites were detected in 76.5% (13/17) of capture events, with Prosthenorchis sp. most frequently detected (58.8%; 10/17). Animals showed good body condition and no clinical abnormalities.

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.
