Two hundred and five newly assembled mitogenomes provide mixed evidence for rivers as drivers of speciation for Amazonian primates. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2022 Abstract Mitochondrial DNA remains a cornerstone for molecular ecology, especially for study species from which high‐quality tissue samples cannot be easily obtained. Methods using mitochondrial markers are usually reliant on reference databases, but these are often incomplete.

Color vision and niche partitioning in a diverse neotropical primate community in lowland Amazonian Ecuador. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Neotropical primates exhibit substantial variation within and between species in color vision abilities; however, little work has explored interspecific variation in a single primate community. In this study, we genotyped functional variation in the middle‐to‐long‐wavelength opsin gene in populations of five sympatric primate species at the Yasuní ...

The influence of the forest corridors to the north of the Andes on the diversification of the bright-rumped Attila, Attila spadiceus (Passeriformes, Tyrannidae), during the climatic oscillations of the middle Pleistocene. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur findings highlight the significance of Pleistocene Forest corridors north of the Andes as the key factor maintaining communication before the separation of the lineages of A. spadiceus. We highlight the absence of any significant differentiation between the disjunct Amazonian and Atlantic Forest populations, both part of the Cis‐Andean lineage. The

Plant Diversity in the Diet of Costa Rican Primates in Contrasting Habitats: A Meta-Analysis
Diversity, 2023 In human-modified tropical landscapes, the survival of arboreal vertebrates, particularly primates, depends on their plant dietary diversity. Here, we assess the diversity of plants included in the diet of Costa Rican non-human primates, CR-NHP (i.e ...

Ecological correlates of space use patterns in wild western lowland gorillas
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 82, Issue 9, September 2020., 2020 Abstract The distribution of resources is a crucial determinant of animals' space use (e.g., daily travel distance, monthly home range size, and revisitation patterns). We examined how variation in ecological parameters affected variability in space use patterns of western lowland gorillas, Gorilla gorilla gorilla.

Rates of agonism among female primates: a cross-taxon perspective [PDF]
, 2013 Agonism is common in group-living animals, shaping dominance relationships and ultimately impacting individual tness. Rates of agonism vary considerably among taxa, however, and explaining this variation has been central in ecological models of female ...

The Central American Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri oerstedii): Introduced Hybrid or Endemic Species?
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2000 Although squirrel monkeys (Saimiri spp., Primates: Cebidae) are abundant and widespread in South America, the disjunct Central American species, Saimiri oerstedii, has been restricted to the Pacific wet lowlands of Costa Rica and Panama since the earliest historical records.
