| reduced range of the endangered crested capuchin monkey (sapajus robustus) and a possible hybrid zone with sapajus nigritus. | the crested capuchin monkey (sapajus robustus) is an endangered species endemic to the highly fragmented atlantic forest of brazil. surveys for s. robustus were carried out over a 25-month period (2003-2005) to obtain more precise geographical limits for the western range of the species. previously published localities for s. robustus were mapped, and each point was given a 25-km radius "buffer zone." the largest forest remnants in the buffer zones (>300 ha) in minas gerais were visited in order ... | 2017 | 28898502 |
| alu elements and the phylogeny of capuchin (cebus and sapajus) monkeys. | three families of new world monkeys, the pitheciidae, atelidae, and cebidae, are currently recognized. the monophyly of the cebidae is supported unequivocally by the presence of ten unique alu elements, which are absent from the other two families. in this paper, the five genomic regions containing these alu elements were sequenced in specimens representing nine capuchin (cebus, sapajus) species in order to identify mutations that may help elucidate the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of ... | 2015 | 25387886 |
