Mitochondrial DNA remains a cornerstone for molecular ecology, especially for study
species from which high‐quality tissue samples cannot be easily obtained. Methods using …

When choosing their sleeping sites, primates make adaptive trade‐offs between various
biotic and abiotic constraints. In human‐modified environments, anthropic factors may play a …

Resting site selection can have important effects on the behaviour and fitness of organisms.
The maintenance of optimal body temperatures (T b) when faced with environmental …

The spatiotemporal aspects of sleeping behavior are indicative of the ecological pressures
that primate species face. We investigated the potential influence of predation and …

Abstract Titi monkeys (Callicebus, Cheracebus, and Plecturocebus) comprise the most
species-rich group of primates in South America. Thirty-six currently recognized species …

The Neotropics house two guilds of large arboreal vertebrate seed predators: parrots and
the pitheciin primates. Both have diets dominated by immature fruits. The possibility of …

Primates spend at least half their lives sleeping; hence, sleeping site selection can have
important effects on behavior and fitness. As proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) often …

Primates must select sleeping sites carefully to maximize fitness. In habitats with diminished
quality and availability of resources, sleeping site selection becomes an even more crucial …

The selection of sleeping sites and sleeping trees in nonhuman primates is related to social
and ecological factors. We investigate the role of body stability, risk of parasite infection …

Sleeping site selection in nonhuman primates may respond to various ecological factors,
including predation avoidance, range defense, and foraging efficiency. We studied the …
