Abstract Background Most populations of spider monkeys ( Ateles ) and muriquis Brachyteles ), two Neotropical primate genera, are under severe anthropogenic threats. Yet, taxon-wide population-level studies leveraging their degree endangerment linked to genetic diversity patterns demographic history lacking. To properly address this, there is a need expand from morphological marker-based studies. Results We generated high-coverage genome sequencing for 58 individuals sampled across 8 Atelidae species, in the first population-wide study all extant monkey wild captivity, alongside northern hypoxanthus ). Additionally, we present high-contiguity reference hybridus . Here, observe overall levels load analyzed do not align IUCN category. Moreover, show that wild, higher compared captive analyzed. Then, depict main trans cis-Andean sister clades , further structure dynamics outlined by Madeira River latter clade. Lastly, find genes highly divergent regions between B. involved central nervous system development photorreception. Conclusions Our shows i) lack concordance extinction risk these populations, suggestive recent strong external drivers; ii) increased contrast effective management, indicating mostly past events; iii) agrees with common biogeographical iv) divergence potentially distinct environmental light levels.
