Altricial Patterns in Prenatal Skeletal Development of Two Large Neotropical Primates: The Poeppig's Woolly Monkey and the Juruá Red Howler Monkey
Understanding prenatal skeletal development is essential for pregnancy monitoring and veterinary care, as well as for understanding reproductive strategies, evolutionary differences, and ecological adaptations. This study provides an ultrasonographic description of prenatal bone development in two large neotropical primates, the Poeppig's woolly monkey ( Lagothrix lagothricha poeppigii , n = 24) and the Juruá howler monkey ( Alouatta juara , n = …
Predicting animal abundance through local ecological knowledge: An internal validation using consensus analysis
Given the ongoing environmental degradation from local to global scales, it is fundamental to develop more efficient means of gathering data on species and ecosystems. Local ecological knowledge, in which local communities can consistently provide information on the status of animal species over time, has been shown to be effective. Several studies demonstrate that data gathered using local ecological knowledge (LEK)‐based methods are comparable …
The Role of Religion, Wealth, and Livelihoods in the Hunting Practices of Urban and Rural Inhabitants in Western Amazonia
Hunting by rural and urban populations is essential for securing access to protein and other nutrients throughout the tropics. The hunting patterns of urban hunters in Amazonia, and the similarities with those of rural hunters, are unclear, as are the social factors that influence hunting practices. We analyze the effects of socioeconomic and cultural factors on hunting frequency and composition of species hunted by urban and rural Amazonian hunt…
Patterns of wildlife hunting and trade by local communities in eastern Amazonian floodplains
Local people living in the Amazon rainforest rely heavily on wild meat as a source of protein and income. While the patterns and drivers of wildlife hunting and trade by local communities are well-known for upland forests, such aspects have been poorly explored in Amazonian floodplains. This study aims to describe wild meat hunting and trade patterns and assess the hunting dynamics of local communities in Amazonian floodplain areas. For this purp…
Freelisting as a suitable method to estimate the composition and harvest rates of hunted species in tropical forests
The aim of this study was to test the use of measures obtained from freelisting as possible surrogates of the harvest rate of game species. For this purpose, we interviewed 100 rural and urban hunters in southwestern Amazonia to obtain the frequency of citations of each hunted species through freelisting and gather information on the number of individuals hunted per species in the last five hunting events through hunting recalls. We assessed the …
Social Correlates of and Reasons for Primate Meat Consumption in Central Amazonia
Community-Based Ecotourism and Primate Watching as a Conservation Tool in the Amazon Rainforest
Age, Religion, and Taboos Influence Subsistence Hunting by Indigenous People of the Lower Madeira River, Brazilian Amazon
Subsistence hunting is an essential livelihood strategy of Indigenous people in the Amazon. The present study examines the aspects influencing hunting practices by the Indigenous Maraguá people in the central Amazon, Brazil. We used a Generalized Additive Model to test the effects of economic (breeding of domestic animals), demographic (individual age), cultural (preference for hunting vs. fishing), and religious (Adventism, an Evangelical denomi…
Social and Biological Correlates of Wild Meat Consumption and Trade by Rural Communities in the Jutaí River Basin, Central Amazonia
Wild animals are an important source of food and income throughout the Amazon basin, particularly for forest-dependent communities living in the more remote regions. Through interviews in 51 households within 16 communities in the Jutaí River Extractive Reserve, Amazonas, Brazil, we determined animal taxa consumed and frequency of wild meat consumption, as well as patterns of wild meat trade. We then investigated the influence of social and biolo…
Long‐term population monitoring of the threatened and endemic black‐headed squirrel monkey ( Saimiri vanzolinii ) shows the importance of protected areas for primate conservation in Amazonia
Population monitoring of endangered species is essential to the improvement of their management and conservation plans. The black‐headed squirrel monkey ( Saimiri vanzolinii ) is a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List and has extreme geographical endemism, exhibiting the smallest known distribution among Neotropical primates (ca. 870 km 2 ), over 90% of which occurs in white‐water flooded forests within the Mamirauá Sustainable Development Res…
