Moreover, Lagothrix and Brachyteles form a clade within the atelin clade, and Saimiri and Cebus form a clade within the cebid clade.
We plan to gather extensive additional DNA sequence data in order to test the congruent branching arrangements of the epsilon and IRBP maximum parsimony trees, especially those arrangements that are controversial when compared to the cladistic evidence from previous morphological studies (11-14).
To pursue these aims, it will be important to enlarge the DNA sequence data from additional ceboid species and outgroup species (from a broader range of non-ceboid primates) and from noncoding regions (introns) of additional unlinked nuclear genes.

In addition, these areas may support the largest wild populations of Brachyteles in Brazil - a species that is on the global priority list for biodiversity conservation and a charismatic flagship species used to stimulate the conservation of the Atlantic forest.
The broader goal is to estimate the population parameters of southern muriqui, by spatial mapping the species geographical distribution and conservation status within the remaining forested areas of São Paulo State.
The more specific goal, in integrating conservation policy and scientific research, is to investigate the feeding- and socio-ecology of one muriqui group to gain insight into their unique social system.

Two distinct forms of muriqui, Brachyteles, are now recognized (by some as subspecies, others as distinct species), while the 1989 Official List, included them both under the name of B.
Four of the primates "added" to the list were, in fact, implicitly on the 1989 Official List, but were named for the first time on the 2003 list: Ateles marginatus was considered a subspecies of A.

Translocation is going to be a required tool in the future management of wild primate populations.
I was also involved in a preliminary effort to manage the remaining wild population of woolly spider monkeys (Brachyteles arachnoides) in Brazil.
This involved capturing animals for genetic studies to determine how inbred the isolated populations were and to what degree we needed to move individuals between these isolated populations.
