Introdução e orientações às boas práticas para as Coleções Biológicas Científicas Brasileiras
Em 2021, tendo consciência da importância das coleções biológicas para a conservação e para o conhecimento da biodiversidade brasileira, o Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (MCTI) solicitou à Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia que coordenasse o projeto “O papel das Redes de Coleções Zoológicas no aprimoramento e preenchimento de lacunas taxonômicas e geográficas em bases de dados de acesso aberto” junto ao Edital CESP do Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (https://www.sibbr.gov.br/page/cesp/cesp-2021.html). O projeto que contou com o financiamento do GBIF, visou fortalecer as coleções zoológicas, fornecendo diretrizes comuns e proporcionando capa...
Coleções biológicas científicas brasileiras
Em 2021, o Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (MCTI) solicitou à Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia (SBZ) que coordenasse o projeto “O papel das Redes de Coleções Zoológicas no aprimoramento e preenchimento de lacunas taxonômicas e geográficas em bases de dados de acesso aberto” junto ao Edital Capacity Enhancement Support Programme (CESP) do Global Biodiversity Information. O projeto que contou com o financiamento do GBIF, visou fortalecer as coleções zoológicas, fornecendo diretrizes comuns e proporcionando capacitação em ferramentas de gestão para os curadores. Como parceiro do projeto, o nó português do GBFI apoiou as atividades de capacitação, particularm...
All the World's Primates
This book shows you photographs or a drawing of every currently recognised taxon in the primate order with a synopsis of what is known about all 505 species. The information has been compiled by over 300 primatologists from around the world, who have done field research on their particular lemur, loris, galago, monkey, or ape in its natural habitat. The book illustrates these primates with over 1500 photographs and provides over 5000 references. You will be amazed by the diversity of the worlds primates, and it will inspire you to protect endangered primates and their habitats. Fifty percent of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to organisations working for the conservation of primates.

Lion Tamarins
Contributors to this work have played major roles in preservation of lion tamarins and other endangered species. They review the history and framework of research and conservation for four species of lion tamarins, and report on studies that have played a part in contributing to the management of the species in captivity and in the wild. They describe direct interventions to conserve wild populations and their habitats, and look at future directions and challenges in lion tamarin conservation. B & w photos of reintroduction efforts are included. Kleiman is affiliated with the Smithsonian National Zoological Park; Rylands is with the Center for Applied Biodiversity Science.

Biodiversity in Agricultural Landscapes of Southeastern Brazil
The state of São Paulo, Brazil, is one of the most densely populated and developed areas in South America. Such development is evident both in terms of industrialization and urbanization, as well as in agriculture, which is heavily based on sugar cane, Eucalyptus plantations and livestock. This intense land use has resulted in great alteration of the original land cover and fragmentation of natural ecosystems. For these reasons, it is almost a paradox that jaguar, a species that requires large areas of pristine forest to exist, is still found in some parts of the state of São Paulo. It is possible that wild animals could leave in coexistence with intense land use, or is it the case that su...
Mammalian Diversification
Fourteen chapters by colleagues and former students celebrating the career of James L. Patton, the emeritus curator of mammals at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. All the papers deal with mammalian evolution.
The Nature of Classification
Discussing the generally ignored issue of the classification of natural objects in the philosophy of science, this book focuses on knowledge and social relations, and offers a way to understand classification as a necessary aspect of doing science.
Monitoring for Conservation and Ecology
Monitoring has become fashionable. Business now talks about monitoring its activities, efficiency, costs and profits. The National Health Service is monitoring general practices and hospitals; it is keen to have more information about efficiency and the duration of stay of patients in different hospitals undergoing different types of treatment. These activities are usually carried out in relation to specific objectives with the aim of making activities more cost effective and competitive. Does the same apply in biology, ecology and nature conservation? Or, are we still enjoying conducting field surveys for the fun of it, at best with rather vague objectives and saying to our colleagues that ...
Evolutionary Biology of the New World Monkeys and Continental Drift
It is now well known that the concept of drifting continents became an estab lished theory during the 1960s. Not long after this "revolution in the earth sciences," researchers began applying the continental drift model to problems in historical biogeography. One such problem was the origin and dispersal of the New World monkeys, the Platyrrhini. Our interests in this subject began in the late 1960s on different conti nents quite independent of one another in the cities of Florence, Italy, and Berkeley, California. In Florence in 1968, A. B. Chiarelli, through stimulating discussions with R. von Koenigswald and B. de Boer, became intrigued with the possibility that a repositioning of the con...
