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...

Habitat suitability for primate conservation in north-east Brazil (2020)
Journal Article
Moraes, B., Razgour, O., Souza-Alves, J., Boubli, J., & Bezerra, B. (2020). Habitat suitability for primate conservation in north-east Brazil. Oryx, 54(6), 803-813. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0030605319001388

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.

The behavioural ecology of the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) at the Reserva Particular Patrimônio Natural-Feliciano Miguel Abdala (RPPN-FMA), Minas Gerais, Brazil (2020)
Thesis
Burch, T. The behavioural ecology of the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) at the Reserva Particular Patrimônio Natural-Feliciano Miguel Abdala (RPPN-FMA), Minas Gerais, Brazil. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) is a critically endangered species of primate endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Strier collected data on the behavioural ecology of the Matão group between 1983-84 at the Reserva Particular Patri...

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...

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...

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...

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.
