Sales, N., Da Cruz Kaizer, M., Coscia, I., Perkins, J., Highlands, A., Boubli, J., …McDevitt, A. (2019). Assessing the potential of environmental DNA metabarcoding for monitoring Neotropical mammals : a case study in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest, Brazil

The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding as a biomonitoring tool has greatly increased in the last decade. However, most studies have focused on aquatic macro-organisms in temperate areas (e.g., fishes). We apply eDNA metabarcoding t...

The Munduruku marmoset : a new monkey species from southern Amazonia (2019)
Journal Article
Costa-Araújo, R., de Melo, F., Canale, G., Hernández-Rangel, S., Messias, M., Rossi, R., …Hrbek, T. (2019). The Munduruku marmoset : a new monkey species from southern Amazonia. PeerJ, 7, e7019. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.7019

Although the Atlantic Forest marmosets (Callithrix spp.) are among the best studied Neotropical primates, the Amazonian marmosets (Callibella humilis, Cebuella spp. and Mico spp.) are much less well-known. Even species diversity and distributions are... Read More about The Munduruku marmoset : a new monkey species from southern Amazonia.

Non-invasive monitoring for population assessments of a critically endangered Neotropical primate (2019)
Thesis
Da Cruz Kaizer, M. Non-invasive monitoring for population assessments of a critically endangered Neotropical primate. (Thesis). University of Salford

The northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus), is a Critically Endangered primate endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Remnant populations of muriquis suffer from a wide range of anthropogenic pressures and face a high risk of extinction due...
