Tool skill impacts the archaeological evidence across technological primates

Scientific Reports
The archaeological record offers insights into our evolutionary past by revealing ancient behaviour through stone and fossil remains. Percussive foraging is suggested to be particularly relevant for the emergence of tool-use in our lineage, yet early ...

Fetal malformation in a marmoset (Callithrix jacchus): case report

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2014
Callithrix jacchus is a neotropical primate adaptable in captivity. Colonies can be easily established in a short time and at low cost compared to other species of larger primates, which are normally used in laboratory.

Historical Development of Zoo Tapir (Tapirus ssp.) Survivorship

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
The survivorship of tapirs in zoos has improved significantly over historical time. ABSTRACT Tapirs (Tapirus spp.) are large, long‐lived herbivores native to Central and South America and Southeast Asia. All species are currently classified as Vulnerable (T. terrestris) or Endangered (other species) in the IUCN SSC Red List.

Culture in Non-human Primates: Definitions and Evidence [PDF]

, 2013
The attribution of culture to non-human animals has been controversial and continues to fuel much heated debate, much of which hinges on how culture is defined.

Safety and Immunogenicity of the Attenuated Yellow Fever Vaccine in Several Neotropical Primate Species

Vaccines
Background/Objective: Yellow fever (YF) is an acute infectious disease caused by the yellow fever virus which is transmitted by mosquitoes. Neotropical primates are susceptible to infection, which is often presented as epizootic outbreaks. The aim was to

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

USING MORPHOMETRICS TO DETERMINE SEX IN A NEOTROPICAL PASSERINE: THE GRAY‐BREASTED WOOD‐WREN (HENICORHINA LEUCOPHRYS) [PDF]

, 2017
∙ Sexual size dimorphism is a widespread pattern among birds, but has remained untested for many Neotropical species. Here we examine sexual differences in a relatively common passerine that is found from Mexico to Bolivia, the Gray‐breasted Wood‐Wren ...

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

Ibis, EarlyView.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.
