Primatology in Argentina

Año: 2017; p. 3 - 8

For those outside of the primatological community, it may seem surprising that this is the first volume about the primatology in Argentina in almost 40 years. In Argentina we found 5 species of extant primates that inhabit different type of forests in the North part of the country especially in the Northeastern region with different conservation status. Alouatta caraya (black and gold howler monkeys), Alouatta guariba clamitans (brown howler monkeys), Aotus azarai (owl monkeys), Cebus nigritus -taxonomically synonymous with Sapajus nigritus- (black horned capuchins), and Cebus paraguayanus -taxonomically synonymous with Sapajus cay- (brown-capped capuchins)
