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...
