Uncertainty regarding species delimitation, geographic distribution, and the evolutionary history of south-central Amazonian titi monkey species (Plecturocebus, Pitheciidae) (2021)
Journal Article

Platyrrhine primate taxonomy is a rapidly evolving area of research. The recent description of the Parecis titi monkey, Plecturocebus parecis, has raised substantial questions regarding the taxonomy, distribution, and evolutionary history of titi tax...

Ancient DNA of the pygmy marmoset type specimen Cebuella pygmaea (Spix, 1823) resolves a taxonomic conundrum (2021)
Journal Article

The pygmy marmoset, the smallest of the anthropoid primates, has a broad distribution in Western Amazonia. Recent studies using molecular and morphological data have identified two distinct species separated by the Napo and Solimões-Amazonas rivers....

Fungal microbiomes are determined by host phylogeny and exhibit widespread associations with the bacterial microbiome (2021)
Journal Article

Interactions between hosts and their resident microbial communities are a fundamental component of fitness for both agents. Though recent research has highlighted the importance of interactions between animals and their bacterial communities, compara...

An integrative analysis uncovers a new, pseudo-cryptic species of Amazonian marmoset (Primates: Callitrichidae: Mico) from the arc of deforestation (2021)
Journal Article

Amazonia has the richest primate fauna in the world. Nonetheless, the diversity and distribution of Amazonian primates remain little known and the scarcity of baseline data challenges their conservation. These challenges are especially acute in the A...

eDNA in a bottleneck : obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems (2021)
Journal Article

The current capacity of environmental DNA (eDNA) to provide accurate insights into the biodiversity of megadiverse regions (e.g., the Neotropics) requires further evaluation to ensure its reliability for long‐term monitoring. In this study, we first... Read More about eDNA in a bottleneck : obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems.

Microsatellite markers for bearded capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus) : transferability and characterization (2021)
Journal Article
Moraes, B., Borges, D., Souza-Alves, J., Boubli, J., & Bezerra, B. (2021). Microsatellite markers for bearded capuchins (Sapajus libidinosus) : transferability and characterization. Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Impresso), 93(2), e20190802. https://doi.org/10.1590/0001-3765202120190802

Natural Sapajus libidinosus populations are in continuous decline due to fragmentation, habitat loss, and the illegal pet trade. They live in Caatinga scrub forests, which already lost over 50% of their original cover. The lack of studies on S. libid...

On the geographic distribution of the bald uakaris (Cacajao calvus ssp.) in Brazilian Amazonia (2021)
Journal Article

An understanding of a species’ geographic distribution is essential to assess, plan, and develop strategies for its
conservation. The geographic distribution of the bald uakari, Cacajao calvus, and its component subspecies has been poorly
investiga... Read More about On the geographic distribution of the bald uakaris (Cacajao calvus ssp.) in Brazilian Amazonia.
