American Journal of Primatology, 82(12), Article e23210. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajp.23210

All Neotropical primates are arboreal and thus depend on forests for their survival. Arboreality puts many Neotropical primates at risk of extinction due to the high rates of deforestation in the tropics. We assessed the influence of vegetation struc...

In their reply to our article “A new identification of the monkeys depicted in a Bronze Age wall painting from Akrotiri, Thera” [Primates 61(3), 2019], Urbani and Youlatos (Primates https://doi.org/10.1007/s10329-020-00825-2, 2020) argue for the trad...

Threats to biodiversity are well documented. However, to effectively conserve species and their habitats, we need to know which conservation interventions do (or do not) work. Evidence-based conservation evaluates interventions within a scientific fr... Read More about A Severe Lack of Evidence Limits Effective Conservation of the World's Primates.

Odontochronologies in male and female mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) and the development of dental sexual dimorphism (2020)
Journal Article

Objectives: We examine how dental sexual dimorphism develops in mandrills, an extremely sexually dimorphic primate. We aimed to (a) establish the chronology of dental development (odontochronology) in male and female mandrills, (b) understand interin...

The Journal of Parasitology, 106(2), 221-232. https://doi.org/10.1645/19-170

Members of the sucking louse genus Pedicinus are ectoparasites of cercopithecid primates in Africa, Asia, and Gibraltar. Pedicinus gabonensis n. sp. is described based on adult male and female specimens collected from the mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx)...
