Clinical Management of Helicobacter Infection in Captive Baboons (Papio anubis and Papio hamadryas), and Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Three Novel Helicobacter Species [PDF]
Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Background Helicobacter spp. are gastric or enterohepatic bacteria that can be commensal, opportunistic, or pathogenic. Few studies have evaluated Helicobacter spp. in baboons. Methods Twenty‐seven captive baboons were surveyed for Helicobacter spp. by fecal PCR, and a subset evaluated by culture.

No Evidence of Reactive Avoidance of Baboons (Papio ursinus and Papio anubis) to the Presence of Predators [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.In this study, we took advantage of the largest camera trap‐based monitoring project in Africa, Snapshot Safari and analyzed 10,000 camera trap detections from three sites in South Africa and one site in Tanzania to test whether baboons exhibit species‐specific reactive avoidance in response to the presence of predators. ABSTRACT Predators exert strong

Estrogen Deprivation During Primate (Papio anubis) Pregnancy: Impact on Systemic Microvascular Flow and Cardiovascular Development and Function After Birth in Offspring [PDF]
Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Background Suppressing estradiol (E2) during baboon pregnancy lowers offspring skeletal muscle capillary density, vital for insulin‐mediated glucose uptake, and induces insulin resistance. We examined whether E2 deprivation also impairs microvascular flow and cardiac function.

Palmaris Longus in the Anubis Baboon (Papio anubis): A Conservative Single-Tendon Pattern with Rare Distal Bifurcation [PDF]
BiologyThe palmaris longus (PL) remains insufficiently quantified in cercopithecoids (Cercopithecoidea), despite growing comparative data across primates. We examined adult archival material of the Anubis baboon (Papio anubis) to document PL presence, tendon ...

Metabolic Biomarkers in Captive Olive Baboons (Papio anubis): Characterization and Relationships With Biomarkers of Neurodegeneration and Neuroinflammation [PDF]
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 5, May 2026.Metabolic biomarker scores predicted neurodegenerative and inflammatory biomarkers, as well as walking speed, in captive olive baboons. This demonstrates the links between metabolic dysfunction and neurodegeneration, and highlights the value of baboons as translational models for such studies.

Primate dental function and evolution: longitudinal 3D tooth wear in wild baboons [PDF]
Evolutionary Human SciencesTooth wear constrains feeding efficiency, life history, and survival in mammals, yet its progression in wild populations remains poorly understood. We use high-resolution 3D analysis to quantify occlusal tissue loss over a 3-year period in the upper ...

Roost Disturbance and Predation: Agama Lizard (Agama sp.) Preying on Slit‐Faced Bats (Nycteris sp.) in Zakouma National Park, Chad [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionPredation plays a key role in shaping ecological interactions, particularly in environments where seasonal dynamics drive adaptive behaviors. In semi‐arid Sudano‐Sahelian ecosystems, where resource availability fluctuates significantly, predator–prey ...
