Journal Article
Costa-Araújo, R., Silva-Jr., J., Boubli, J., Rossi, R., Canale, G., Melo, F., …Hrbek, T. (2021). An integrative analysis uncovers a new, pseudo-cryptic species of Amazonian marmoset (Primates: Callitrichidae: Mico) from the arc of deforestation. Scientific reports, 11(1), 15665. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-93943-w

Amazonia has the richest primate fauna in the world. Nonetheless, the diversity and distribution of Amazonian primates remain little known and the scarcity of baseline data challenges their conservation. These challenges are especially acute in the A...

eDNA in a bottleneck : obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems (2021)
Journal Article
Jackman, J., Benvenuto, C., Coscia, I., Carvalho, C., Ready, J., Boubli, J., …Sales, N. (2021). eDNA in a bottleneck : obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems. Environmental DNA, 3(4), 837-849. https://doi.org/10.1002/edn3.191

The current capacity of environmental DNA (eDNA) to provide accurate insights into the biodiversity of megadiverse regions (e.g., the Neotropics) requires further evaluation to ensure its reliability for long‐term monitoring. In this study, we first... Read More about eDNA in a bottleneck : obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems.

Fungal microbiomes are determined by host phylogeny and exhibit widespread associations with the bacterial microbiome (2021)

Harrison, X., McDevitt, A., Dunn, J., Griffiths, S., Benvenuto, C., Birtles, R., …Antwis, R. (2021). Fungal microbiomes are determined by host phylogeny and exhibit widespread associations with the bacterial microbiome

Interactions between hosts and their resident microbial communities are a fundamental component of fitness for both agents. Though recent research has highlighted the importance of interactions between animals and their bacterial communities, compara...

Microsatellite markers for bearded capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus) : transferability and characterization (2021)
Journal Article
Moraes, B., Borges, D., Souza-Alves, J., Boubli, J., & Bezerra, B. (2021). Microsatellite markers for bearded capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus) : transferability and characterization. Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Impresso), 93(2), e20190802. https://doi.org/10.1590/0001-3765202120190802

Natural Sapajus libidinosus populations are in continuous decline due to fragmentation, habitat loss, and the illegal pet trade. They live in Caatinga scrub forests, which already lost over 50% of their original cover. The lack of studies on S. libid...

On the geographic distribution of the bald uakaris (Cacajao calvus ssp.) in Brazilian Amazonia (2021)
Journal Article
Silva, F., Lemos, L., Ravetta, A., Röhe, F., Sampaio, R., Franco, C., …Boubli, J. (2021). On the geographic distribution of the bald uakaris (Cacajao calvus ssp.) in Brazilian Amazonia. Primate conservation, 35, 1-18

An understanding of a species’ geographic distribution is essential to assess, plan, and develop strategies for its conservation. The geographic distribution of the bald uakari, Cacajao calvus, and its component subspecies has been poorly investiga...

Species richness and composition of avifaunal communities in a complex Amazonian landscape (2020)
Thesis
Gilmore, B. Species richness and composition of avifaunal communities in a complex Amazonian landscape. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Little research has been undertaken to identify the effect that habitat heterogeneity and seasonality have on the diversity of birds in lowland Amazonia. This study aimed to identify how species richness and composition of avifaunal communities in th...

Parapatric pied and red-handed tamarin responses to congeneric and conspecific calls (2020)
Journal Article

Aggressive behaviors are widespread among territorial species and asymmetrical aggressiveness may imply differential access to resources. At a larger scale, such asymmetry may also drive shifts in geographic distributions. The pied tamarin (Saguinus...

Brazil has a high diversity of primates, but increasing anthropogenic pressures and climate change could influence forest cover in the country and cause future changes in the distribution of primate populations. Here we aim to assess the long-term su... Read More about Habitat suitability for primate conservation in north-east Brazil.
