Guidelines and considerations for capturing and collaring wild primates: a case study with capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus cucullatus) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasMany aspects of the ecology, evolution and social behavior of wild-living primates remain un-explored and require further investigation. While long-term field studies are crucial for addressing conservation concerns for many primates’ species, acquiring ...

Phylogenetic approaches for studying competition in mammals
, 2009 Interspecific competition is often proposed to shape mammalian evolution. Many studies use trait and distribution data on extant species, but this ignores temporal aspects of competition.

Caudal Vertebral Body Articular Surface Morphology Correlates with Functional Tail Use in Anthropoid Primates [PDF]
, 2014 Prehensile tails, capable of suspending the entire body weight of an animal, have evolved in parallel in New World monkeys (Platyrrhini): once in the Atelinae (Alouatta, Ateles, Brachyteles, Lagothrix), and once in the Cebinae (Cebus, Sapajus ...

A comparative study of eleven protein systems in tamarins, genus Saguinus (Platyrrhini, Callitrichinae) [PDF]
, 1997 The genetic variability of six tamarin taxa, genus Saguinus, was analyzed comparatively using protein data from eleven systems coded by 15 loci. S. fuscicollis weddelli and S. midas midas were the most polymorphic taxa, and S. bicolor the least.

Tenim els mateixos cromosomes que els altres primats? [PDF]
, 2014 En aquest treball, els autors ens expliquen de quina manera la introducció durant els anys 70 de noves tècniques analítiques en l'estudi dels cromosomes permet albirar noves possibilitats per establir els mecanismes concrets en la ...

A perspective on color vision in platyrrhine monkeys [PDF]
, 1960 Studies carried out over the past two decades show that many platyrrhine (New World) monkeys have polymorphic color vision. This condition results from the sorting of allelic versions of X-chromosome cone opsin genes at a single gene site, yielding a ...
