We developed a model to identify and analyze the socioeconomic and spatial factors contributing to illegal primate capture in Mexico. The aim was to predict vulnerable sites and areas at significant capture pressure Focusing on primate species, we gathered data from each municipality where these species are found. Calculations showed that regions with higher socioeconomic status, such as Quintana Roo, are at highest capture pressure. We found that the most vulnerable sites were close to roads and urban settlements, and areas at risk of capture were identified as those harboring multiple primate species. These findings have significant implications for intelligence and surveillance strategies as understanding capture hotspots is crucial to mitigate indiscriminate captures and safeguard primate populations. Key words: Capture, Pressure, Drivers, Primate trafficking, Vulnerability

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation

ANIMAL BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION（前身为 MISCEL·LÀNIA ZOOLÒGICA）是一本跨学科期刊，自 1958 年以来由巴塞罗那自然科学博物馆出版。它包括来自世界各地的动物学所有领域（系统学、分类学、形态学、生物地理学、生态学、行为学、生理学和遗传学）的实证和理论研究文章。该杂志特别关注提出新问题或引入新主题的研究，具有明确的假设和预测，以及以某种方式与保护生物学相关的作品。纯描述性文章，或描述动物在空间或时间上的分布的动物或植物学文章将不会发表。

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, formerly known as MISCEL·LÀNIA ZOOLÒGICA, is an interdisciplinary journal published by the Barcelona Museum of Natural Sciences since 1958. It includes empirical and theoretical research articles from all fields of zoology worldwide, such as systematics, taxonomy, morphology, biogeography, ecology, behavior, physiology, and genetics. The journal particularly emphasizes research that poses new questions or introduces new themes, with clear hypotheses and predictions, and that is somehow related to conservation biology. Purely descriptive articles, or those that only describe the distribution of animals or plants in space or time, will not be published.
