Anatomy of nerve fiber bundles at micrometer-resolution in the vervet monkey visual system by Hiromasa Takemura, Nicola Palomero-Gallagher, Markus Axer, David Gräßel, Matthew J Jorgensen, Roger Woods, Karl Zilles

“…Here we used 3D polarization light imaging (3D-PLI), which enables direct visualization of fiber tracts at micrometer resolution, to identify and visualize fiber tracts of the visual system, such as stratum sagittale, inferior longitudinal fascicle, vertical occipital fascicle, tapetum and dorsal occipital bundle in vervet monkey brains. Moreover, 3D-PLI data provide detailed information on cortical projections of these tracts, distinction between neighboring tracts, and novel short-range pathways. …”

Population ecology of vervet monkeys in a high latitude, semi-arid riparian woodland by Graham Pasternak, Leslie R. Brown, Stefan Kienzle, Andrea Fuller, Louise Barrett, S. Peter Henzi

“…Narrow riparian woodlands along non-perennial streams have made it possible for vervet monkeys to penetrate the semi-arid karoo ecosystem of South Africa, whilst artificial water points have more recently allowed these populations to colonize much more marginal habitat away from natural water sources. …”
