Habitat fragmentation is one of the most prominent effects of anthropogenic ecosystem
degradation. However, despite the accumulating evidence that anthropogenic habitat …

Habitat fragmentation may strongly impact population genetic structure and reduce the
genetic diversity and viability of small and isolated populations. The white-headed langur …

Demographic data are essential to assessments of the status of endangered species.
However, establishing an integrated monitoring program to obtain useful data on …

Understanding the impact of zoonotic diseases on wild primate populations is important for
assessing local extinction risks and for evaluating potential mitigating factors. Comparative …

Background Current patterns of population genetic variation may have been shaped by long-
term evolutionary history and contemporary demographic processes. Understanding the …

Genetic diversity of a species is influenced by multiple factors, including the Quaternary
glacial‐interglacial cycles and geophysical barriers. Such factors are not yet well …

Evidence from human and nonhuman primates suggests that females avoid breeding with
close kin and may choose mates based on MHC diversity, which can improve offspring …

Abstract While some South American primates are well-studied, many are poorly known to
science. This makes reports of their ecology very valuable, especially when the region …
