In this paper, we present an introduction to primate biogeography at a continental level and
then review the literature as it pertains to primate studies. Primate species diversity is …

Our goal was to determine phylogenetic relationships among geographically and
taxonomically distinct haplotypes of spider monkeys (Ateles) based on DNA sequence …

Geoffroy's tamarin, a squirrel monkey, a night monkey, the white-throated capuchin, two or
three species of howling monkey, and one or two spider monkeys comprise the primate …

For the last 15 years molecular cytogenetic techniques have been extensively used to study
primate evolution. Molecular probes were helpful to distinguish mammalian chromosomes …

We used the results of phylogenetic analyses of relationships among spider monkeys
(Ateles) based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA to investigate questions of their …

This report is the first installment of a monographic study of mammalian diversity and
ethnomammalogy in a sparsely inhabited rainforest region between the Yavarí and Ucayali …

Spider monkeys (Ateles) are one of the most endangered groups of primates in the
Neotropics. The genus is widely distributed from Mexico to the north of Bolivia and includes …

Squirrel monkeys (genus Saimiri) are distributed over a wide area encompassing the
Amazon Basin: French Guiana, Suriname, and Guyana, together with Western Panama and …

New World monkeys ranged into Mesoamerica along with the mass migration of South
American fauna (and flora) northward during the Great American Interchange (Marshall et …

As with most platyrrhines, the systematics of Ateles is under discussion. In order to help
clarify its systematic, we employed chromosomic and molecular characters to analyze the …
