Phylogenetic relationships in the genus Cheracebus (Callicebinae, Pitheciidae) (2020)
Journal Article
Carneiro, J., Sampaio, I., Lima, T., Silva-Júnior, J. D. S., Farias, I., Hrbek, T., …Schneider, H. (2020). Phylogenetic relationships in the genus Cheracebus (Callicebinae, Pitheciidae). American Journal of Primatology, 82(9), e23167. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23167

Cheracebus is a new genus of New World primate of the family Pitheciidae, subfamily Callicebinae. Until recently, Cheracebus was classified as the torquatus species group of the genus Callicebus. The genus Cheracebus has six species: C. lucifer, C. l... Read More about Phylogenetic relationships in the genus Cheracebus (Callicebinae, Pitheciidae).

Assessing the potential of environmental DNA metabarcoding for monitoring Neotropical mammals : a case study in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, Brazil (2020)
Journal Article
Sales, N., Da Cruz Kaizer, M., Coscia, I., Perkins, J., Highlands, A., Boubli, J., …McDevitt, A. (2020). Assessing the potential of environmental DNA metabarcoding for monitoring Neotropical mammals : a case study in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Mammal Review, 50(3), 221-225. https://doi.org/10.1111/mam.12183

The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding as a biomonitoring tool has greatly increased in the last decade. However, most studies have focused on aquatic macro-organisms in temperate areas (e.g., fishes). We apply eDNA metabarcoding t...

On the taxonomic history and true identity of the collared titi, cheracebus torquatus (Hoffmannsegg, 1807) (Platyrrhini, Callicebinae) (2020)
Journal Article
Byrne, H., Rylands, A., Nash, S., & Boubli, J. (2020). On the taxonomic history and true identity of the collared titi, cheracebus torquatus (Hoffmannsegg, 1807) (Platyrrhini, Callicebinae). Primate conservation, 34, 13-52

The collared titi, Cheracebus torquatus, is paradoxically the least well-defined of the so-called “torquatus group” of Neotropical titi monkeys. Since its description by Hoffmannsegg in 1807, it has been re-characterized numerous times. In this stu...

Systematics, biogeography and conservation of Bald Uakaris (Cacajao Lesson, 1840) (2020)
Thesis
Silva, F. Systematics, biogeography and conservation of Bald Uakaris (Cacajao Lesson, 1840). (Thesis). University of Salford

Uakaris, genus Cacajao, possess adaptations to their unripe seed-focused diet and habitat preference for Amazonian flooded forest habitats. These include large procumbent canines (shared by the other 2 Pitheciinae, Chiropotes and Pithecia, large home...

The Munduruku marmoset : a new monkey species from southern Amazonia (2019)
Journal Article
Costa-Araújo, R., de Melo, F., Canale, G., Hernández-Rangel, S., Messias, M., Rossi, R., …Hrbek, T. (2019). The Munduruku marmoset : a new monkey species from southern Amazonia. PeerJ, 7, e7019. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.7019

Although the Atlantic Forest marmosets (Callithrix spp.) are among the best studied Neotropical primates, the Amazonian marmosets (Callibella humilis, Cebuella spp. and Mico spp.) are much less well-known. Even species diversity and distributions are... Read More about The Munduruku marmoset : a new monkey species from southern Amazonia.

Non-invasive monitoring for population assessments of a critically endangered Neotropical primate (2019)
Thesis
Da Cruz Kaizer, M. Non-invasive monitoring for population assessments of a critically endangered Neotropical primate. (Thesis). University of Salford

The northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus), is a Critically Endangered primate endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Remnant populations of muriquis suffer from a wide range of anthropogenic pressures and face a high risk of extinction due...

Predicted distribution and habitat loss for the endangered black-faced black spider monkey Ateles chamek in the Amazon (2018)
Journal Article
Rabelo, R., Gonçalves, J., Silva, F., Rocha, D., Canale, G., Bernardo, C., & Boubli, J. (2020). Predicted distribution and habitat loss for the endangered black-faced black spider monkey Ateles chamek in the Amazon. Oryx, 54(5), 699-705. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0030605318000522

The rate of deforestation in the Amazon is increasing. Predictive models estimate that as a result of agricultural expansion 40% of these forests will be lost by 2050. As a consequence the habitat of forest-dwelling species such as the Endangered bla...
