Whole genomes of Amazonian uakari monkeys reveal complex connectivity and fast differentiation driven by high environmental dynamism (2024)
Journal Article
Despite showing the greatest primate diversity on the planet, genomic studies on Amazonian primates show very little representation in the literature. With 48 geolocalized high coverage whole genomes from wild uakari monkeys, we present the first pop...

Impact of Quaternary Amazonian river dynamics on the diversification of uakari monkeys (genus Cacajao) (2024)
Journal Article
AimThe central and western Amazonia underwent several landscape changes during the Quaternary. Whereas the Riverine Barrier Hypothesis is traditionally used to explain the influence of rivers on speciation, processes such as river rearrangements have...

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...

Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India (2024)
Thesis
The inevitable human interaction with wildlife often gives rise to human-wildlife conflicts
inflicting tangible (e.g., financial, persecutions) and intangible (e.g., emotional) losses on
both sides. Despite the lack of scientific records in Kargil... Read More about Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India.

Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Habitat Suitability of Bearded Sakis (Chiropotes, Lesson 1840) (2023)
Thesis
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).
The spider monkeys (genus Ateles) (É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1806) are one of the most

Yucatan peninsula and coastal regions of Vera Cruz state in Mexico... Read More about A review of taxonomic history and phylogeography for the spider monkeys (genus Ateles), with habitat suitability modelling for Amazonian Ateles.
Climate determines transmission hotspots of Polycystic Echinococcosis, a life-threatening zoonotic disease, across Pan-Amazonia (2023)
Journal Article
Polycystic Echinococcosis (PE), a neglected life-threatening zoonotic disease caused by the cestode is endemic in the Amazon. Despite being treatable, PE reaches a case fatality rate of around 29% due to late or missed diagnosis. PE is sustained in...

Molecular systematics of tamarins with emphasis on genus Tamarinus (Primates, Callitrichidae) (2023)
Journal Article
The genus Saguinus comprises three principal clades that diverged in the Middle to Late Miocene. Their taxa are ecologically differentiated and allopatrically distributed. These clades were recently recognized as different genera, Saguinus, Tamarinus... Read More about Molecular systematics of tamarins with emphasis on genus Tamarinus (Primates, Callitrichidae).
Molecular Evidence Supports Five Lineages within Chiropotes (Pitheciidae, Platyrrhini) (2023)
Journal Article
Pitheciines have unique dental specializations among New World monkeys that allow them to feed on fruits with hard pericarps, thus playing a major role as seed predators. The three extant pitheciine genera, Pithecia, Cacajao and Chiropotes, are all e... Read More about Molecular Evidence Supports Five Lineages within Chiropotes (Pitheciidae, Platyrrhini).
Barriers to chimpanzee gene flow at the south‐east edge of their distribution (2023)
Journal Article
Populations on the edge of a species' distribution may represent an important source of adaptive diversity, yet these populations tend to be more fragmented and are more likely to be geographically isolated. Lack of genetic exchanges between such pop... Read More about Barriers to chimpanzee gene flow at the south‐east edge of their distribution.
The landscape of tolerated genetic variation in humans and primates. (2023)
Journal Article
Personalized genome sequencing has revealed millions of genetic differences between individuals, but our understanding of their clinical relevance remains largely incomplete. To systematically decipher the effects of human genetic variants, we obtain... Read More about The landscape of tolerated genetic variation in humans and primates..
