Infection by Toxoplasma gondii in Neotropical non-human primates

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2012
Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1909) is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite of warm animals, including human and non-human primates. Domestic and wild felids are considered definitive hosts.

Behavioral Flexibility and the Conservation Value of Howler Monkey Populations in Small Habitat Patches

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.
Standardized effect sizes of the relationships between predictor and response variables. Natural logarithms are denoted as “ln.” Open circles (blue outline) indicate mostly positive effects; solid circles (red filled) indicate mostly negative effects. ABSTRACT Species occupying small habitat patches and exhibiting behavioral and ecological flexibility ...

Whole‐Epiphysis Trabecular Bone in Tamarin Limbs Suggests Effects of Leaping Distance Alongside Non‐Biomechanical Factors

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Beyond non‐biomechanical factors, the trabecular architecture of long bone epiphyses variably underlies functional adaptations to locomotor behavior. A recent study, characterizing tamarin trabecular bone using traditional metrics derived from Volumes of Interest (VOIs), identified a preliminary relationship with leaping distance ...

Multilevel societies in new world primates? Flexibility may characterize the organization of Peruvian red uakaris (Cacajao calvus ucayalii)

, 2012
Researchers have described multilevel societies with one-male, multifemale units (OMUs) forming within a larger group in several catarrhine species, but not in platyrhines.

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 ...

Divergent evolution and purifying selection of the H (FUT1) gene in New World monkeys (Primates, Platyrrhini)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2004
In the present study, the coding region of the H gene was sequenced and analyzed in fourteen genera of New World primates (Alouatta, Aotus, Ateles, Brachyteles, Cacajao, Callicebus, Callithrix, Cebus, Chiropotes, Lagothrix, Leontopithecus, Pithecia ...

Subsistence harvest for food and pets associated with declining global mammal populations

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 5, June 2026.
Subsistence harvest can have substantial impacts on mammalian biodiversity, yet its effects on the conservation status of mammal species are poorly understood. We analyzed trade and use data in species accounts from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List to examine the effects of subsistence harvest on the conservation ...

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
