First record of albinism in the black-fronted titi monkey using a dual-sensor drone: An unprecedented case in Neotropical primates
Investigation of Yellow Fever Virus Exposure in Ex Situ Buffy-tufted-ear Marmosets (Callithrix aurita) and Free-living Invasive Hybrids (Callithrix sp.) in Atlantic Forest Fragments, Southeast Brazil
Wildlife surveillance is an important tool to inform the epidemiological investigation of a disease event (World Organization for Animal Health & IUCN, 2024 ). Yellow fever is an arboviral disease of great relevance to primates and public health. Between 2016 and 2018, Brazil’s southeastern region experienced the most important yellow fever epidemic and epizootic in nonhuman primates in the country in 80 years of records (Mares-Guia et al., 2020 …
Saguinus martinsi: Predicted loss of habitat suitability following global warming and insights for the conservation of the species
Greater occupancy of invasive hybrid marmosets compared to a threatened native species in the fragmented Atlantic Forest: Implications for conservation
New records of the southern muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides) in Serra da Mantiqueira through thermal drones
Unveiling the Evolutionary History of c is‐ Andean Alouatta (Atelidae, Alouattinae) Through Mitochondrial Genomes
Alouatta , a genus widely distributed throughout South and Central America, displays remarkable species diversity across various morphoclimatic domains. To clarify the ancestral distribution and its role in the radiation of Alouatta , our study employed time‐tree phylogenetic analyses to better understand the current distribution patterns of the cis‐ Andean species. We generated 36 mitogenomes, including a species and representatives of populatio…
First record of the southern muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides) in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil
Floristic composition and dispersal syndrome: How can environmental factors affect the Cracidae refuge in a secondary Atlantic Forest fragment
The Atlantic Forest is a threatened biodiversity hotspot. Anthropogenic and environmental factors affect this biodiversity, including floristics and, consequently, the seed dispersal syndrome. The objective was to evaluate the influence of environmental factors on floristic composition, seed dispersal syndrome and potential for wild fauna refuge, especially birds of the Cracidae family, in a Private Reserve of Natural Heritage (RPPN) in the Atlan…
Phylogenetic relationships, population demography, and species delimitation of the Alouatta belzebul species complex (Atelidae: (Alouattinae)
Demographic changes in an Atlantic Forest primate community following a yellow fever outbreak
We investigated demographic changes in three primate species ( Alouatta guariba , Sapajus nigritus , and Callithrix flaviceps ) at the Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural–Feliciano Miguel Abdala, Caratinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil, following a yellow fever outbreak (YFO) by comparing their population sizes before (2015) and after the outbreak (2017–2018), and by monitoring the size, composition, and reproductive status of groups from 2017 to 20…
Status of the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) in the time of yellow fever
Phylogeographic evidence for two species of muriqui (genus Brachyteles )
The taxonomy of muriquis, the largest extant primates in the New World, is controversial. While some specialists argue for a monotypic genus ( Brachyteles arachnoides ), others favor a two‐species classification, splitting northern muriquis ( Brachyteles hypoxanthus ) from southern muriquis ( B. arachnoides ). This uncertainty affects how we study the differences between these highly endangered and charismatic primates, as well as the design of m…
Terrestrial Behavior in Titi Monkeys (Callicebus, Cheracebus, and Plecturocebus): Potential Correlates, Patterns, and Differences between Genera
Mixed‐species associations in cuxiús (genus Chiropotes )
Polyspecific or mixed-species associations, where two or more species come together to forage and travel as a unit, have been reported in many primate species. These associations appear to offer a number of benefits to the species involved including increased foraging efficiency and decreased risk of predation. While several researchers have suggested that cuxiús (genus Chiropotes) form mixed-species associations, previous studies have not identi…
Geographic comparison of plant genera used in frugivory among the pitheciids Cacajao , Callicebus , Chiropotes , and Pithecia
Pitheciids are known for their frugivorous diets, but there has been no broad-scale comparison of fruit genera used by these primates that range across five geographic regions in South America. We compiled 31 fruit lists from data collected from 18 species (three Cacajao, six Callicebus, five Chiropotes, and four Pithecia) at 26 study sites in six countries. Together, these lists contained 455 plant genera from 96 families. We predicted that 1) c…
Avaliação da paisagem na Gleba Cavalcante, Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso, no período de 1990 - 2011
Os processos de uso e ocupação da terra em áreas de cerrado no Centro-Oeste brasileiro têm produzido uma série de alterações na paisagem, muitas vezes em desacordo com a legislação ambiental e das características naturais do ambiente. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a paisagem da Gleba Cavalcante - Nova Xavantina (MT), no período de 1990 a 2011. Para tanto foram realizadas análises multitemporais dos padrões de uso e cobertura da terra,…
Terrestrial Activity in Pitheciins ( C acajao , C hiropotes , and P ithecia )
Neotropical monkeys of the genera C acajao , C hiropotes , and P ithecia ( P itheciidae) are considered to be highly arboreal, spending most of their time feeding and traveling in the upper canopy. Until now, the use of terrestrial substrates has not been analyzed in detail in this group. Here, we review the frequency of terrestrial use among pitheciin taxa to determine the ecological and social conditions that might lead to such behavior. We col…
