The effects of plant nutritional chemistry on food selection of Mexican black howler monkeys (Alouatta pigra): The role of lipids
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.22524
Abstract: Understanding the nutritional basis of food selection is fundamental to evaluate dietary patterns and foraging strategies in primates. This research describes the phytochemical composition of the foods consumed by two groups of Mexican black howler… read more here.

Vocal and movement responses of mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) to natural loud calls from neighbors

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23252
Abstract: Loud calls (i.e., long‐range acoustic signals) regulate resource competition among neighboring groups of conspecifics in several nonhuman primate species. Ultimate explanations for primate loud calls include mate, offspring, and food defense. Additionally, loud calls may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.24028
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Ecological similarity between species can lead to interspecific trophic competition. However, when ecologically similar species coexist, they may differ in foraging strategies and habitat use, which can lead to niche partitioning. As the body… read more here.

Hypopigmentation in mantled howler monkeys Alouatta palliata (gray 1849): First documented cases of whole‐body leucism in South America
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9628
Abstract: Abstract The existence of hypopigmentation like leucism is the result of genetic anomalies that might be enhanced by external factors such as pollution. This anomaly may reduce survival rates. Leucism has been recorded in wildlife,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-020-06615-5
Abstract: Bertiella sp. is a typical parasite in non-human primates and only a few cases of bertiellosis have been reported in humans. We present a new case study of bertiellosis in a 42-year-old woman caretaker of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10764-018-0075-1
Abstract: Space use patterns are the result of complex interactions between individuals and their environment. Although competition with conspecifics, the distribution and availability of food resources and climatic conditions may all influence space use by primates,… read more here.
