monkeys (genus Alouatta) to (1) identify different threats that may affect howlers in …

Habitat fragmentation is one of the principal threats to primates. Studies of primates in
fragments usually conclude that fragmentation negatively affects some aspect of their …

Fragmentation reduces habitat area, increases the number of habitat patches, decreases
their size, and increases patch isolation. For arboreal mammals such as howlers (Alouatta …

Here we review all published articles and book chapters, as well as unpublished theses and
data of Ateles geoffroyi diet to (1) summarize the literature;(2) synthesize general feeding …

The populations of the Mexican mantled howler monkey (Alouatta palliata mexicana) in the

Variation at both the patch and landscape scale is known to influence the distribution and
abundance of arboreal monkeys in rainforest fragments. However, few studies have …

Land-use change is forcing many animal populations to inhabit forest patches in which
different processes can threaten their survival. Some threatening processes are mainly …
