Activity budgets and the effect of weather over a 10 year period in Critically Endangered yellow-tailed woolly monkeys (Lagothrix flavicauda) at El Toro, Peru
The study of animal activity budgets provides information regarding species' behavioural repertoire and how this can change over various time scales and due to external factors, both natural and anthropogenic. External environmental factors affecting animal behaviour vary on temporal and spatial scales, and include fluctuations in daily weather patterns, annual and long-term climatic variability, and the spatial and temporal distribution of resou…

Expanded distribution and predicted suitable habitat for the critically endangered yellow‐tailed woolly monkey ( Lagothrix flavicauda ) in Perú
The Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot holds a remarkable number of species at risk of extinction due to anthropogenic habitat loss, hunting, and climate change. One of these species, the critically endangered yellow‐tailed woolly monkey ( Lagothrix flavicauda ), was recently observed in the region Junín, 206 km south of its previously known distribution. This range extension, combined with continued habitat loss, calls for a reevaluation of the…
Ethnoprimatology of the Shipibo of the upper Ucayali River, Perú
In the Anthropocene, primate conservation can only take place when considering human culture, perspectives, and needs. Such approaches are increasingly important under the growing impact of anthropogenic activities and increasing number of threatened primates. The Amazon rainforest, rich in cultural and biological diversity, where indigenous people play a crucial role in primate conservation, provides ample opportunity to study human-primate inte…
A high-diversity primate community in a mid-elevation flooded forest, the Jungla de Los Monos Community Reserve, Peru
Fermented food consumption in wild nonhuman primates and its ecological drivers
OBJECTIVES: Although fermented food use is ubiquitous in humans, the ecological and evolutionary factors contributing to its emergence are unclear. Here we investigated the ecological contexts surrounding the consumption of fruits in the late stages of fermentation by wild primates to provide insight into its adaptive function. We hypothesized that climate, socioecological traits, and habitat patch size would influence the occurrence of this beha…
Denunciafauna - A social media campaign to evaluate wildlife crime and law enforcement in Peru
General Public Complaint Against Captive Wildlife),in short Denunciafauna, ran from April 2014 to April 2017 as an experiment to empirically assess the capacity of Peruvian wildlife authorities to address animal trafficking. We used a political ecology activist research framework, where the campaign is part of research examining on-the-ground responses to complaints and opportunities for collaboration with civil society.During the campaign we col…

Effect of river size on Amazonian primate community structure: A biogeographic analysis using updated taxonomic assessments
The mechanisms that underlie the diversification of Neotropical primates remain contested. One mechanism that has found support is the riverine barrier hypothesis (RBH), which postulates that large rivers impede gene flow between populations on opposite riverbanks and promote allopatric speciation. Ayres and Clutton‐Brock (1992) demonstrated that larger Amazonian rivers acted as barriers, delineating the distribution limits of primate species. Ho…
Reducing the primate pet trade: Actions for primatologists
This commentary emerged from a panel presentation at the International Primatological Society Congress in Nairobi, Kenya, 2018. The goal was to provide regional updates on the status of primate removal from habitat countries, especially for the pet trade, and develop guidelines that could help primatologists address this critical problem. The trade in live primates includes those used as pets, in entertainment, and as subjects of biomedical exper…
The Development and Growth of Non-Governmental Conservation in Peru: Privately and Communally Protected Areas
While legislation for the creation of protected areas in Peru has existed since the 1960s, legislation relating to privately and/or communally protected areas (PCPAs) dates only to the early 2000s, from which point the number of PCPAs has grown rapidly. We examine the growth of PCPAs in Peru, the laws key to their creation, and the actors who have shaped them, highlighting where national-level data obscures local dynamics that have driven or sust…
Geophagy in Wild Yellow-Tailed Woolly Monkeys (Lagothrix flavicauda) Is Brief and Rare
Habitat preference in the critically endangered yellow‐tailed woolly monkey ( Lagothrix flavicauda ) at La Esperanza, Peru
Habitat loss is one of the main threats to wildlife. Therefore, knowledge of habitat use and preference is essential for the design of conservation strategies and identification of priority sites for the protection of endangered species. The yellow‐tailed woolly monkey ( Lagothrix flavicauda Humboldt, 1812), categorized as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, is endemic to montane forests in northern Peru where its habitat is greatly threa…

Diagnostic overview of the illegal trade in primates and law enforcement in Peru
Peru has one of the richest primate faunas of any country. The illegal trade in wild primates is one of the largest threats to this fauna in Peru. We characterize the illegal trade in primates through empirical and ethnographic data. We collected data from traffic routes and centers throughout Peru and evaluate current efforts to combat this traffic. Based on our findings from 2,070 instances of wildlife crime involving 6,872 primates, we estimat…
