May 21, 2024 · The current molecular evidence for the phylogenetic position of Aotus is reviewed by Di Fiore and co-workers in Chapter 3 [“Phylogenetics and Biogeography of Owl Monkeys (Aotus): The Molecular Evidence”], who conclude that Aotus is more closely related to cebines and callitrichines than to pitheciids, but also admit that the affinities ...
Aug 12, 2010 · Owl monkeys, belonging to the genus Aotus, have been extensively used as animal models in biomedical research but few reports have focused on the taxonomy and phylogeography of this genus. Moreover, the morphological similarity of several Aotus species has led to frequent misidentifications, mainly at the boundaries of their distribution.

Nancy Ma's night monkey (Aotus nancymaae) is a night monkey species from South America. It is found in Brazil and Peru. The species is named after Dr. Nancy Shui-Fong Ma. [3] It is known in medical research as a model organism for studying the Duffy antigen.
This taxonomy is based on both morphological characteristics and genetic data. Species include Aotus nigriceps (black-headed night monkey), Aotus nancymaae (Nancy Ma's night monkey), and several others, each adapted to specific regions and ecological conditions.
Sep 14, 2023 · Aotus spp. serves as a remarkable nonhuman primate model, and researchers are particularly well-suited to integrate data from captivity and the field, due in great part to the extensive and well-habituated populations of owl monkeys at the DuMond Conservancy, OMBRR, and the Owl Monkey Project.

Aotus trivirgatus live in monogamous pairs. There is evidence of long term pair bonding. Mating System; monogamous; Aotus seem to rely most heavily on calls to find mates. Since calls are not common among Aotus trivirgatus, a hoot usually indicates a lone male or female looking for a mate. Copulations generally take place at night, though they ...
