Close encounters of the friendly kind: pacific between‐group interactions in primates
ABSTRACT While intergroup conflict features prominently in the behavioural ecology literature, its antonym, intergroup peace, has been a rather neglected phenomenon until recently. Neighbourly relations and affiliative interactions are far from uncommon.

Immunohistochemical and serological aspects of Toxoplasma gondii infection in Neotropical primates
Toxoplasmosis, a disease caused by the intracellular coccidian Toxoplasma gondii that infects most warm-blooded vertebrates, is widely distributed and fatal for primates, which are peculiarly susceptible for unknown reason(s).

ABSTRACT A managed‐care female common marmoset developed a rare C‐cell carcinoma in the right thyroid lobe, characterized by capsular and intrathyroidal invasion. Neoplastic plasmacytoid cells arranged in sheets exhibited a morphological and immunophenotypic profile (calcitonin+, chromogranin A+, CK7+, INSM1+, TTF‐1) that closely resembles human ...

Global comparison of habitat intactness models for predicting extinction risk in terrestrial mammals
The effects of habitat condition on biodiversity have primarily been investigated using discrete (patch‐matrix) habitat models, which consider habitat fragments as islands embedded in an inhospitable matrix. Recently, continuum habitat models, which focus on ecological gradients without defining habitat or matrix, have emerged.

Neopterin is a sensitive and specific biomarker of intracellular pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, and affected by environmental, life‐history, and sex‐contextual factors. This review offers best‐practice guidelines and practical advice on sample collection, storage, and analysis in primates when used for ecoimmunological conservation and ...
