We used 22 microsatellite loci and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences to assess genetic diversity and population structure in Azara's owl monkey (Aotus azarae), an arboreal, pair-living platyrrhine primate, in the Gran Chaco of northern Argentina in an area characterized by a contiguous gallery forest and patches of forest in naturally occurring savanna. We also analyzed sex-specific patterns of isolation-by-distance and used assignment tests to evaluate dispersal patterns, assess potential sex differences in gene flow, and assessed potential differences in gene flow within and between gallery forest and forest patch habitats.

The data files and R code used to carry out these analyses had been uploaded here.
