When suitable habitat is not enough: climate change, habitat loss, and dispersal limitation increase the vulnerability of bald-headed uakaris (Cacajao sp.) in the Amazon Rainforest

This study assesses how climate change, habitat loss, and dispersal limitations affect the future habitat suitability of bald-headed uakaris in the Amazon Rainforest.

The primate gut bacterial microbiome: a systematic review of research methodologies, taxonomic coverage, and conservation implications

This paper reviews primate gut microbiome research, identifying gaps in taxonomic coverage, geographic representation, and methodology, and proposes a standardized reporting framework for better conservation applications.

Cross-species transmission of human hepatitis B virus to wild Neotropical primates

Sequenced HBV from wild Amazonian primates in a deforested, densely settled region matched human genotypes A and D, while pristine-forest monkeys were all negative, consistent with human-to-primate spillover.

Assessing group size and the demographic composition of unhabituated northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) using non-invasive biomonitoring

The paper estimates population size and demographic composition of northern muriquis using non-invasive methods and compares their cost-efficiency.

A phylogenetic protein-coding genome-phenome map of complex traits across 224 primate species.

Cross-species genome-phenome mapping in primates reveals thousands of protein-coding variants linked to the evolution of complex traits.

First Comprehensive Examination of the Molecular Phylogenetics of Saki Monkeys, Genus Pithecia Desmarest, 1804, Reveals an Unexpectedly Low Taxonomic Diversity

This study uses molecular data to revise the taxonomy of saki monkeys, identifying six species instead of the previously recognized two.

The genomic landscape of spider monkeys and northern muriquis from a conservation perspective

The paper analyzes the genomes of spider monkeys and northern muriquis to assess genetic diversity, load, and divergence, finding no alignment between genetic diversity and endangerment status, higher genetic load in wild populations, and divergence linked to environmental factors.

The landscape of tolerated genetic variation in humans and primates

The paper uses primate genetic data to predict human variant pathogenicity with a deep learning classifier trained on 4.3 million common missense variants.

A global catalog of whole-genome diversity from 233 primate species

This study presents whole-genome data from 233 primate species, revealing patterns of genetic diversity, mutation rates, and recurrent missense mutations across primate clades.
