Abstract Despite showing the greatest primate diversity on planet, genomic studies Amazonian primates show very little representation in literature. With 48 geolocalized high coverage whole genomes from wild uakari monkeys, we present first population-level study platyrrhines using genome data. In a restricted range of Amazon rainforest, eight species ( Cacajao genus) have been described and categorized into bald black uakaris, based phenotypic ecological differences. slight habitat overlap, that posterior to their split 0.92 Mya, uakaris remained independent, without gene flow. Nowadays, these two groups distinct genetic group-specific variation linked pathogens. We propose differing hydrology patterns effectiveness geographic barriers modulated intra-group connectivity structure populations. Beyond increasing representation, with this work explored effects rainforest’s dynamism platyrrhine species.
