Dr. Marsh's 2014 monograph revising the taxonomy of the Pithecia genus (saki monkeys) is the largest revision for any Neotropical primate in more than half a century. She described 16 total saki monkey species, 5 of them new to science. One of the newly described species, Pithecia Isabela, was named for the remarkable and courageous Isabel Godin, for whom she has written a feature-length film and musical called ACROSS THE AMAZONS. Both properties are currently in development. The ACROSS THE AMAZONS screenplay was live performed in October 2016 at the Jean Cocteau Theater, Santa Fe, NM to a sold-out audience (https://acrosstheamazons.com).
