The impact of noise from open-cast mining on Atlantic forest biophony (2015)
Journal Article
Duarte, M., Sousa-Lima, R., Young, R., Farina, A., Vasconcelos, M., Rodrigues, M., & Pieretti, N. (2015). The impact of noise from open-cast mining on Atlantic forest biophony. Biological Conservation, 191, 623-631. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2015.08.006

The sound produced by human-made machinery (technophony) is known to exert negative effects on animal
communication and well-being. Mining is an important economic activity in Brazil, which is often conducted
close to forested areas and produces a... Read More about The impact of noise from open-cast mining on Atlantic forest biophony.

Determining temporal sampling schemes for passive acoustic studies in different tropical ecosystems (2015)
Journal Article
acoustic studies in different tropical ecosystems. Tropical Conservation Science, 8(1), 215-234. https://doi.org/10.1177/194008291500800117

Among different approaches to exploring and describing the ecological complexity of natural environments, soundscape analyses have recently
provided useful proxies for understanding and interpreting dynamic patterns and processes in a landscape. Nev... Read More about Determining temporal sampling schemes for passive acoustic studies in different tropical ecosystems.

Behavioural and ecological aspects of black tufted-ear marmosets, Callithrix penicillata (Geoffroy, 1812) (Primates: Callitrichidae) in a semi- urban environment (2014)
Journal Article
Nogueira, M., Santos, D., Henriques, M., Duarte, L., & Young, R. J. (2014). Behavioural and ecological aspects of black tufted-ear marmosets, Callithrix penicillata (Geoffroy, 1812) (Primates: Callitrichidae) in a semi- urban environment. #Journal not on list, 13, 37-46

O mico-estrela (Callithrix penicillata) é uma pequena espécie de primata neotropical que vive em vários tipos de ambientes como Cerrado e Mata Atlântica, podendo também ocupar áreas urbanas. Pesquisas já mostraram que a disponibilidade de recurso ali...

Designing laboratory marmoset housing: What can we learn from urban marmosets? (2011)
Journal Article
Duarte, M., Goulart, V., & Young, R. (2012). Designing laboratory marmoset housing: What can we learn from urban marmosets?. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 137(3-4), 127-136. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applanim.2011.11.013

How to house animals in captivity, so as to maximise their level of well-being, is one of the greatest practical challenges facing animal welfare scientists. Laboratory animal housing can, necessarily, be very restrictive in terms of the facilities b... Read More about Designing laboratory marmoset housing: What can we learn from urban marmosets?.

Noisy human neighbours affect where urban monkeys live (2011)
Journal Article
Duarte, M., Vecci, M., Hirsch, A., & Young, R. (2011). Noisy human neighbours affect where urban monkeys live. Biology Letters, 7(6), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2011.0529

Urban areas and many natural habitats are being dominated by a new selection pressure: anthropogenic noise. The ongoing expansion of urban areas, roads and airports throughout the world makes the noise almost omnipresent. Urbanization and the increas...

Human--marmoset interactions in a city park (2011)
Journal Article
Leite, G., Duarte, M., & Young, R. (2011). Human--marmoset interactions in a city park. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 132(3-4), 187-192. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applanim.2011.03.013

Urban wildlife, frequently, comes into contact with human city dwellers and these interactions can be viewed positively or negatively by people. In the city of Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais, Brazil) many city parks have groups of black-tufted marmoset... Read More about Human--marmoset interactions in a city park.

Sleeping site selection by urban marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) under conditions of exceptionally high predator density (2010)
Journal Article
Duarte, M., & Young, R. (2011). Sleeping site selection by urban marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) under conditions of exceptionally high predator density. International Journal of Primatology, 32, 329-334. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10764-010-9468-5

Domestic cats are known to kill small mammals and birds, and represent a predatory threat to all small wildlife. We investigated whether a high cat density affects the choice of sleeping sites of urban marmosets (Callithrix penicillata). One group of...
