A MOPEVAC multivalent vaccine induces sterile protection against New World arenaviruses in non-human primates
Pathogenic New World arenaviruses (NWAs) cause haemorrhagic fevers and can have high mortality rates, as shown in outbreaks in South America....

Communication in Owl Monkeys
Although studying communication among nocturnal primates is particularly challenging, decades of research provide sufficient evidence to recognize...

Validating the timing of New World monkey dispersal routes by lineage dispersal modeling and description of the Amazonian eastward route
New World monkeys (NWM) comprise a group of extant and extinct taxa exclusive to the Neotropics. Lineage dispersal modeling was employed to test the...

The Ethnoprimatology of Owl Monkeys (Aotus spp.): From Past to Present
Ethnoprimatological information about owl monkeys is relatively scant compared to other Neotropical primates. Nocturnality is the characteristic that...

Forest maturity has a stronger influence on the prevalence of spider monkeys than howler monkeys in an anthropogenically impacted rainforest landscape
The transformation and depletion of primary forest over the past few decades have placed almost half of the world’s primate species under the threat...

Geophagy in large-headed capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella macrocephalus) in the Reserva Nacional Tambopata, Peru
Many primate species have been observed descending to the forest floor to intentionally consume soil (geophagy) at licks. The practice of geophagy is...

Serosurvey of Trypanosomatidae (Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infantum) in Howler Monkeys from Southern Brazil: Risk Factor and Influence of Landscape Structure
Environmental changes may expose primates to new pathogens. We investigated two zoonotic protozoa, Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infantum , to...
