The nine primates include howler monkeys Alouatta seniculus, night monkeys Aotus trivirgatus, titi monkeys Callicebus torquatus, black uakari Cacajao melanocephalus, weeper capuchins Cebus olivaceus, and white-faced sakis Pithecia pithecia. ❋ Unknown (2009)
These include: Saguinus midas, Saimiri sciureus, Pithecia pithecia, Cebus apella, and Alouatta seniculus. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Coloring is far from uniform within Pithecia pithecia, another case of intraspecific variation. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
These individuals belong, more precisely, to Pithecia pithecia chrysocephala, the golden-faced subspecies of the white-faced saki. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Of Pithecia pithecia chrysocephala, the golden-faced saki, only six individuals remain. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Within the patch, surrounded on all sides by pasture and sunlight and the perversities of subsidy economics, lives a small population of Pithecia pithecia. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
East of the Rio Negro lives a third species of sloth monkey, now known as Pithecia pithecia. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
There are over 50 species of mammals present including opossums, bats, primates such as capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella), squirrel monkeys (Saimira sciureus), howler monkey (Alouatta seniculus) and Guianan saki (Pithecia pithecia), giant ant-eater (Myrmecophaga triactyla), carnivores including jaguar (Panthera onca), puma (Puma concolor), and ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), ungulates and rodents including the capybara (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris). ❋ Unknown (2008)
These include the White-faced Saki (Pithecia pithecia) and the common squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) red howler monkey (Alouatta senculus), black spider monkey (Ateles paniscus), red-handed tamarin (Saguinus midas), brown capuchin (Cebus apella) the weeper capuchin (Cebus nigrivittatus) and the black saki (Chiropotes satanas). ❋ Unknown (2008)
This number includes 9 primates that live here including howler monkeys (Alouatta seniculus), night monkeys (Aotus trivirgatus), titi monkeys (Callicebus torquatus), black uakari (Cacajao melanocephalus), weeper capuchins (Cebus olivaceus), and white-faced sakis (Pithecia pithecia). ❋ Unknown (2008)
Among primates, Feduccia (1996) and Geist & Feduccia (2000) also pointed to gliding behaviour in the sakis (Pithecia), a group of frugivorous South American monkeys that can reportedly ‘maneuver accurately while airborne to a target tree trunk, often adjusting their bodies so that they glide upwards at a steep angle just before contact’ (Geist & Feduccia 2000, p. 668-669) [The accompanying photo, taken from Graeme Elliott’s flickr site, depicts a White-faced saki P. pithecia]. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
We’re in the airspace above Fazenda Esteio, the same hardscrabble cattle ranch surrounding the reserve where I’ll later chase Pithecia pithecia—those leaping monkeys marooned in their tiny fragment of forest—with Eleonore Setz. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
Eleonore Setz’s work on the little population of Pithecia pithecia is another of the many discrete studies. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
The species Pithecia pithecia isn’t immediately endangered, but this little population certainly is. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
