Abstract Efficiently detecting early environmental threats to wildlife is vital for conservation. Beyond obvious dangers like habitat loss or deforestation, our study focuses on one of the most hazardous toxic metals wildlife: lead (Pb). Pb a widespread, cumulative, and insidious pollutant that can trigger wide range physiological, biochemical, behavioral disorders. In fact, cause permanent dysfunction major stress system, hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. We analyzed cortisol...
Abstract Leucism is an aberration of color that occurs in individuals as a consequence genetic mutations. Along with albinism and piebaldism, leucism one the most commonly reported types chromatic anomalies mammals, however, detailed descriptions such conditions are rare. We report first record leucistic black howler monkey ( Alouatta pigra ) southern Mexico, apparently healthy individual who was male typical group. Additionally, we compiled records anomalous pigmentation American primates...
Abstract Phenolics, like tannins, are plant‐specialized metabolites that play a protective role against herbivory. Tannins can reduce palatability and bind with proteins to digestibility, acting as deterrents feeding impacting nutrient extraction by herbivores. Some assays measure tannin total phenolics content in plants but lack determination of their biological effects, hindering the interpretation function herbivory its impacts on animal behavior ecology. In this study, we successfully...
Environmental education aims to foster knowledge, awareness, and appreciation for nature can encompass various formats, including festivals. The traveling festival "Changos y Monos va a tu comunidad" is inspired by previous initiatives promote the conservation of primates in southeast Mexico. involved focused activities, mainly children, such as talks, games, exhibitions. It has been held on ten occasions, reaching approximately 700 people from nine localities. Unlike other events, its...
