Placental crises: disruptive selection and maternal under‐investment as the foundations of mammalian placental evolution and dysfunction

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1627-1640, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Among the vertebrates, mammals are notable for the dominance of live birth and placental nutrition. The structural diversity of the mammalian placenta is remarkable, despite sharing a single common ancestor and conserved physiological functions.

The population status and maize crop-raiding activities of Papio anubis and Chlorocebus pygerythrus in the Abala Abaya forest, located in southern Ethiopia

Discover Applied Sciences
Species and subspecies of primates occur in different parts of Ethiopia, and some of them are successful crop raiders. We conducted a study on the population status and maize crop-raiding activities of Anubis baboons (Papio anubis) and Vervet monkeys ...

Human‐Carnivore Conflicts and Associated Economic Losses in Villages Adjacent to Jorgo‐Wato Protected Forest, Western Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Conflicts between humans and carnivores were assessed in the nearby settlements of the Jorgo‐Wato Protected Forest. This aimed to identify carnivorous species responsible for livestock depredations, quantify the economic losses resulting from depredations, and identify strategies used by nearby communities to prevent human‐carnivore conflicts in the ...

Leukocyte profiles reveal sex and age differences in immune investment in a polygynous bat

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1453-1463, August 2026.
Analysis of over 500 blood cell profiles, including repeat samples over four years, reveals that male bats from a long‐lived species with a polygynous mating system invest more in innate than adaptive immunity. Investment in innate immunity increases with age, as estimated by a DNA methylation clock and mark‐recapture data.

Plantaris tendon morphology in Papio anubis: a comparative anatomical study

Scientific Reports
The plantaris muscle shows marked variability in humans, yet comparable data from non-human primates remain limited. This study examined plantaris tendon morphology in 46 lower limbs from 23 adult Anubis baboons (Papio anubis) using standardized ...

Occurrence of Antibodies Anti‐Toxoplasma gondii in Captive Non‐Human Primates From Pernambuco State, Brazil

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildlife captive populations are important tools for threatened species conservation, and early identification of diseases must be prioritized. In this study, we test for the presence of anti‐Toxoplasma gondii antibodies in non‐human primates at a Zoo from Pernambuco State, Brazil.

Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 383-400, August 2026.
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...
