Captive breeding programs have been used as a relevant strategy to maintain self-sustainable and demographically stable populations with the goal of safeguarding threatened species from their imminent risk of extinction. Thus, monitoring genetic diversity becomes essential to avoid the loss of genetic diversity and inbreeding depression throughout ex situ generations. Furthermore, such pr…
The resilience of neotropical primates in anthropogenic landscapes depends on the connectivity among forest patches, their movement capacity in different vegetation structures, and their responses to varying resource availability, competition level, and human impact. For some primate species, such as the endangered Black Lion Tamarin (BLT - Leontopithecus chrysopygus), that are rare and d…
Habitat fragmentation is one of the major threats to biodiversity the impacts of which is usually measured by species richness. However, changes in species richness do not inform about the consequences on ecosystem functioning and other measures, such as functional diversity, are needed. Primates represent between 25 and 40% of tropical frugivore biomass and are considered to play a key r…
A fundamental aspect of ecological research is understanding how species coexist and interact within ecosystems. Hosting two-thirds of Earth's terrestrial biodiversity, tropical forests provide an ideal setting to study community ecology. Primates play a vital role in maintaining the structure, balance, and resilience of these habitats, where they fulfil essential ecosystem services and s…

Scientific dissemination employs processes and technical resources to communicate scientific and technological information in an accessible manner to the general public. It serves as the bridge between academia and society, fostering an interest in science, contributing to the expansion of knowledge and understanding among the lay public, while also aiding in the development of critical t…

Amazonia is the largest, most biodiverse, and important tropical forest worldwide. It provides essential ecosystem services for the functioning of global biogeochemical cycles, harbors around 10% of the Earth's diversity, including the highest number of primate species and forms with the Cerrado biome the largest ecotone on the planet. Despite the well-known importance of Amazonia for hum…
In tropical forests, a domain heavily used and historically destroyed by the human population, frugivorous primates make an important contribution to its regeneration by defecating viable seeds. Their role as seed dispersers is inherently dependent on their movement patterns that directly affect the spatial distribution of dispersed seeds. Many factors, such as fragment size and shape, re…
Movement-related energy expenditure reflects how animals fare in altered habitats. The endangered black lion tamarins (BLT), Leontopithecus chrysopygus, can have their movement affected by changes in forest structure due to fragmentation, being good candidates to study the relation between the forest characteristics and movement-related energy expenditure. In this context, Dynamic Body Ac…
