PIN’s fact sheets and resources serve as a starting point to find information about key topics in primatology, including research and care, education, conservation and various primate species.

Each primate species factsheet covers one or more species, including their evolution and ecology, behavior, conservation status and images. The Primate Factsheets Glossary defines any complex terminology used throughout.

We are looking for volunteers to help us update our PIN primate species fact sheets. If you are interested, please contact us.

PrimateLit, a bibliographic database of more than 200,000 citations about non-human primate literature dating from 1940 was deaccessioned in December 2018, given the growth of services like Google Scholar. The old PrimateLit XML raw data files have been archived by Minds@UW.
