Dental topographic metrics (DTMs), which quantify different aspects of the shape of teeth, are powerful tools for studying dietary adaptation and evolution in mammals. However, comparative samples of scanned mammal teeth suitable for analysis with D...

Pitheciinae are a subfamily of South American monkeys. They possess dental specialisations that allow them to break open the hard pericarps of fruits, making them ecological seed predators. The genera that make up this subfamily are Cacajao (Lesson,... Read More about Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Habitat Suitability of Bearded Sakis (Chiropotes, Lesson 1840).

Grant, C. (2023). A review of taxonomic history and phylogeography for the spider monkeys (genus Ateles), with habitat suitability modelling for Amazonian Ateles. (Thesis). University of Salford

The spider monkeys (genus Ateles) (É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1806) are one of the most widespread platyrrhine primates, ranging from the tropical and subtropical rainforests of the Yucatan peninsula and coastal regions of Vera Cruz state in Mexico...
