Identification of constrained sequence elements across 239 primate genomes. (2023)
Journal Article

Noncoding DNA is central to our understanding of human gene regulation and complex diseases , and measuring the evolutionary sequence constraint can establish the functional relevance of putative regulatory elements in the human genome . Identifying... Read More about Identification of constrained sequence elements across 239 primate genomes..

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).

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

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... 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..

A global catalog of whole-genome diversity from 233 primate species. (2023)
Journal Article

The rich diversity of morphology and behavior displayed across primate species provides an informative context in which to study the impact of genomic diversity on fundamental biological processes. Analysis of that diversity provides insight into lon... Read More about A global catalog of whole-genome diversity from 233 primate species..

A New Assessment of Robust Capuchin Monkey (Sapajus) Evolutionary History Using Genome-Wide SNP Marker Data and a Bayesian Approach to Species Delimitation (2023)
Journal Article

Robust capuchin monkeys, Sapajus genus, are among the most phenotypically diverse and widespread groups of primates in South America, with one of the most confusing and often shifting taxonomies. We used a ddRADseq approach to generate genome-wide SN...

Taxonomic review of Saguinus mystax (Spix, 1823) (Primates, Callitrichidae), and description of a new species (2023)
Journal Article

Although the Amazon has the greatest diversity of primates, there are still taxonomic uncertainties for many taxa, such as the species of the Saguinus mystax group. The most geographically broadly distributed and phenotypically diverse species in thi...
