Theoretical Analysis of Androstenone Adsorption on Chimpanzee and Gorilla Olfactory Receptors (G‐Protein): Statistical Physics Modeling, Molecular Docking Simulation, and Thermodynamic Investigation

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An advanced theory based on statistical physics was applied to microscopically investigate androstenone adsorption and its relationship with olfactory perception in chimpanzees and gorillas. For this purpose, dose–response curves of androstenone on olfactory receptors of chimpanzee OR7D4 and gorilla OR7D4 were analyzed by statistical physics ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Les services écologiques des bonobos (Pan paniscus)

open access: yesRevue de Primatologie, 2014
Survival of Afrotropical primary forests depends not only on habitat protection but also on the protection of animal species such as frugivorous primates, recognized as the most important seed dispersers for many plants.

Corpses as Repositories of Information and Funerals as Information Centres: Why Natural Selection Favours the Bereaved

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Corpses are repositories of information about the cause of death. The distress of the bereaved acts as an honest signal drawing conspecifics to the body, enabling them to learn quickly about the death, adapt their behaviour, and spread knowledge of threats across multiple social levels.
