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

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...

An integrative analysis uncovers a new, pseudo-cryptic species of Amazonian marmoset (Primates: Callitrichidae: Mico) from the arc of deforestation (2021)
Journal Article

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

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.

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

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... Read More about On the geographic distribution of the bald uakaris (Cacajao calvus ssp.) in Brazilian Amazonia.

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
Sobroza, T., Gordo, M., Barnett, A., Boubli, J., & Spironello, W. (2021). Parapatric pied and red-handed tamarin responses to congeneric and conspecific calls. Acta oecologica, 110, 103688. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actao.2020.103688

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...

Abundance, distribution, and threats of mammals and trees within the Lingadzi Namilomba Forest Reserve within Lilongwe, Malawi, and a conservation action plan for the protection of the Reserve (2020)
Thesis
Long, C. Abundance, distribution, and threats of mammals and trees within the Lingadzi Namilomba Forest Reserve within Lilongwe, Malawi, and a conservation action plan for the protection of the Reserve. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Lingadzi Namilomba Forest Reserve is one of the last remaining wildlife reserves situated within Malawi’s capital city Lilongwe. The purpose of this study was to conduct the first systematic assessment of mammal and forest cover within the reserve. A...
