“…Hb, HCT, and RBC were slightly lower, but within the ranges reported to the specie . We found no statistical differences between sexes for some parameters, such as HCT, even though males tend to have higher HCT values than females, these data agreed with Canales‐Espinosa et al ,. due to sex hormonal effects as androgen and erythropoietin have a stimulatory effect in male’ bone marrow and erythropoietin production in the kidney, and estrogens have an inhibitory effect on the bone marrow in females …”

“…It is very important to assess body mass to calculate anesthesia dose and to know general body condition, as well as hydration level . Balancán howlers males had 51.45% higher body mass than females, which is similar to that reported elsewhere (females 5.05 kg and males 7.05 kg; females 5.05 kg and males 6.99 kg; females 5.05 kg in Campeche and 5.88 kg in Tabasco, and males 6.99 kg in Campeche and 7.09 kg in Tabasco). Black howler monkeys from Balancán were heavier than expected for animals in a highly degraded area, and they did not show signs associated with inappropriate diet or reduced food intake.…”

“…Wild animals’ physiology can be considered as natural condition which it is used as reference to evaluate health status of captive animals. There are few records from wild populations of physiological and blood parameters of black howler monkeys; however, the studies of Abella‐Medrano, Rovirosa‐Hernández et al., and Canales‐Espinosa et al . from the rainforest in Campeche and Tabasco, Mexico, provide data to compare with our results.…”

Howler monkeys living under the highly degraded conditions at Balancán, Tabasco, could be showing adaptability by modifying their physiology, hematology, and blood chemistry in response to the conditions of their fragmented landscape.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
