The primate community of Cachoeira (Brazilian Amazonia): a model to decipher ecological partitioning among extinct species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Dental microwear analysis is conducted on a community of platyrrhine primates from South America. This analysis focuses on the primate community of Cachoeira Porteira (Para, Brazil), in which seven sympatric species occur: Alouatta seniculus, Ateles ...

A comparative study of pre‐alpha islands in the entorhinal cortex from selected primates and in lissencephaly

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 530, Issue 4, Page 683-704, March 2022., 2022
The drawing at the top shows coronal sections through a gyrified human brain (at left) and a lissencephalic (‘’smooth,” i.e., lacking normal convolutions) human brain (at right). The lower half of the image shows exemplary images of primate brains with a strongly gyrified cortex (Pongo pygmaeus) versus a comparatively smooth brain surface (Perodicticus

What is the evidence that counter‐wildlife crime interventions are effective for conserving African, Asian and Latin American wildlife directly threatened by exploitation? A systematic map protocol

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 2, Issue 4, October–December 2021., 2021
This proposed systematic map will collate and describe the available literature addressing the effectiveness of counter‐wildlife crime interventions for protecting targeted species directly threatened by exploitation and native to Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Determinants of population persistence and abundance of terrestrial and arboreal vertebrates stranded in tropical forest land‐bridge islands

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 870-883, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Megadams are among the key modern drivers of habitat and biodiversity loss in emerging economies. The Balbina Hydroelectric Dam of Central Brazilian Amazonia inundated 312,900 ha of primary forests and created approximately 3500 variable‐sized islands that still harbor vertebrate populations after nearly 3 decades after isolation. We estimated

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Saguinus (Platyrrhini, Primates) based on the ND1 mitochondrial gene and implications for conservation

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
The systematics of the subfamily Callitrichinae (Platyrrhini, Primates), a group of small monkeys from South America and Panama, remains an area of considerable discussion despite many investigations, there being continuing controversy over subgeneric ...
