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.

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 ...

Cryptic diversity in a gastrointestinal acanthocephalan of New World primates from Costa Rica
Prosthenorchis elegans is a worm of the family Archiacanthocephala that infects non-human primates in the Americas, producing an intestinal pathology that may compromise the life of its hosts.

The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) has been found in more than 350 species of homoeothermic vertebrates in diverse climates and geographic areas. In most animals, T. gondii produces mild or asymptomatic infection.

Divergence Times and the Evolutionary Radiation of New World Monkeys (Platyrrhini, Primates): An Analysis of Fossil and Molecular Data [PDF]
The estimation of phylogenetic relationships and divergence times among a group of organisms is a fundamental first step toward understanding its biological diversification.

Ecological correlates of space use patterns in wild western lowland gorillas
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]
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 ...

Evaluación de la disponibilidad de árboles importantes para la fauna silvestre, con base en dos especies paraguas: Cebus imitator Y Saimiri oerstedii oerstedii (Primates, Cebidae) en un agroecosistema del distrito de Barú, Chiriquí, Panamá [PDF]
La deforestación para establecer tierras de producción agropecuaria ha producido la pérdida y degradación de hábitat, y con ello pérdida de biodiversidad.

Food Sharing across Borders [PDF]
Evolutionary models consider hunting and food sharing to be milestones that paved the way from primate to human societies. Because fossil evidence is scarce, hominoid primates serve as referential models to assess our common ancestors’ capacity in terms ...
