Multiple sex chromosome systems in howler monkeys (Platyrrhini, Alouatta) [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2014 In light of the multiple sex chromosome systems observed in howler monkeys (Alouatta Lacépède, 1799) a combined cladistic analysis using chromosomal and molecular characters was applied to discuss the possible origin of these systems ...

The Evolution of Primate Short-Term Memory [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2022 Short-term memory is implicated in a range of cognitive abilities and is critical for understanding primate cognitive evolution. To investigate the effects of phylogeny, ecology and sociality on short-term memory, we tested the largest and most diverse ...

Neotropical primate evolution and phylogenetic reconstruction using chromosomal data
The European Zoological Journal, 2017 Platyrrhini are a group of Neotropical primates living in central and south America, and have been extensively studied through morphological and molecular data in order to shed light on their phylogeny and evolution.

Contribution à l’étude de la mobilité de l’hallux et de la phylogénie des primates actuels
Revue de Primatologie, 2015 Material and methods: 51 anatomical specimens of non-human primates were dissected (18 embalmed, 33 fresh). The amplitudes of the medial cuneometatarsal and metatarsophalangeal articulations of the first ray of the foot of the various fresh pieces and ...
