New species of monkey-I nail is identified in Pernambuco Animal can more receive the heading from threatened minor and from the planet Júlia Kacowicz Of the TEAM Of the DIARIO A new species of monkey-I nail was found in the resquícios of Atlantic bush of Pernambuco and - before exactly of being registered - it meets the side of the extinguishing. The group of 18 primates was identified surviving in an area of only 200 hectares, enters bush and flooded, for researchers of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). The population was not baptized, but already it can more receive the heading from threatened minor and from the planet. The characteristics that differentiate the discovered type of the others 15 known species already are and one tiara all white yellow-golden body around of the head. The discovery was made by the professor of the Department of Zoology of the UFPE and doctor for the University of Cambridge (Joined Kingdom), Antonio Rossano, after a carried through survey five year in 23 fragmentos of Atlantic bush of Pernambuco and Alagoas. The work had the objective to more analyze the situation of the mammals in the degraded ecosystem of the land. "I never imagined that it would go to find a new species in an ecosystem that already disappeared in 98%. We are living a biodiversity crisis and many animals have been extinct. Some nor had arrived to be registered ", affirmed. The group of monkeys was seen for the first time in the end of November of the passed year, in Ipojuca, the south coast of the state, for the professor and its pupil Alexander Malta. They had initiated the monitoramento of the animals and, she has 20 days, had obtained to record an amateur film. "With the film we obtain to confirm the characteristics of the animal, that does not possess no register in literature", Rossano said. According to it, the joined primate is about a new species of monkey-nails for the similarities with already known, as so great and structure of the body, forms of the tail and length of the head. "the monkeys-pregos very are seemed, differing only in the form standards and coloration of the pelagem", standed out. Adaptation - the animals are occupying three isolated stretches of bush, with 90 hectares, that linked for one are flooded. "They adaptaram themselves to flooded therefore the bushes are small, but also if they feel insurances because the access is difficult", it clarified Rossano. The presence of the animals in the area, pertaining to the Salty Plant, still surprises for being a urbanizada and encircled region of sugar cane-of-sugar. The researcher standed out that the monkeys if also adaptaram in the feeding, considering that sugar cane remaining portions had been found in top of the trees. Eighteen individuals had been counted, but Rossano believes that they can exist about 30 in the region. The professor already initiated the procedure to register the new species, that passes for the detention of the population in natural environment, attainment of one holótipo (first image of an alive individual or died) and study and description of the species. "I am concluding the scientific article to publish in specialized magazines. After that, the specialists evaluate and if to pass, the animal is recognized ", affirmed. The confirmation of that previous registers do not exist and the choice of the scientific name is being made in partnership with specialists of other states and doespecialista in primate David Chivers, of the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom).

New monkey species found in Brazil claims scientist mongabay.com May 19, 2006 A Brazilian scientist claims to have discovered a previously known species of monkey, although other experts say the species may have been documented before. Earlier this month, Antonio Rossano Mendes Pontes, a professor of Zoology at the Federal University in Pernambuco, published a scientific description of Cebus queirozi in the international scientific journal Zootaxa. The primate -- which may weigh 6 1/2 pounds when full grown -- has long golden-yellow fur and a white cap on the front half of its head. The species was found in Brazil's Atlantic rain forest in the state of Pernambuco. The Atlantic forest which once covered much of Brazil's eastern seaboard has been reduced by more than 90 percent due to agriculture and urbanization. It is considered one of Brazil's most threatened ecosystems. Pontes said that he had identified about 32 individuals in an 500-acre fragment of forest and swampland. Due to the extremely limited range of the species, Pontes urges conservation action for its habitat. "The discovery of this new critically-endangered (overlooked for centuries) species of capuchin within this zone of endemicity... where 23 species of endemic birds have already been described, as well as one species of reptile, four species of butterflies, two species of gastropods, at least four species of amphibians, and at least 11 species of trees... highlights the overwhelming importance and uniqueness of this highly-threatened area for the conservation of the earth’s biota," writes Pontes and his co-authors. "It also points to the great lack of information on its mammalian fauna, and the urgent need for surveys in order to understand their distribution and status throughout the region." Brazil's Mata Atlântica forest near Rio de Janeiro. "They are highly threatened by selective cutting, intentional fires, presence of domestic animals, hunting, and even tourists from a nearby resort, despite constant, and now intensified, patrolling of the area by the landowners, who also committed themselves to reforest a considerable area surrounding their home range," they continue. While Pontes believes the species is new to science, others disagree. Mario de Vivo, a primatologist at the University of Sao Paulo, said that the "new" monkey looks a lot like Simia flavia, a monkey described by German taxonomist Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in the 18th Century but never seen since, according to a report from the Associated Press. |
