Exploring the diversity of AVPR2 in Primates and its evolutionary implications
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2023 The current study focuses on the investigation of AVPR2 (VTR2C) protein-coupled receptor variants specific to different primate taxa. AVPR2 is activated by the neurohormone AVP, which modulates physiological processes, including water homeostasis.

Adaptation in the face of internal conflict: the paradox of the organism revisited
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 1796-1811, October 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT The paradox of the organism refers to the observation that organisms appear to function as coherent purposeful entities, despite the potential for within‐organismal components like selfish genetic elements and cancer cells to erode them from within. While it is commonly accepted that organisms may pursue fitness maximisation and can be thought

Comparative gastrointestinal organ lengths among Amazonian primates (Primates: Platyrrhini)
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 181, Issue 3, Page 440-453, July 2023., 2023 Principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) comparing the individual gastrointestinal variation based on Euclidean distance (51% of explanation for the axis 1 and 26% of axis 2), where CeQ, cecal quotient; CoQ, colonic quotient; EQ, esophageal quotient; GQ, gastric quotient; IQ, small intestine quotient; RQ, rectal quotient. Ellipses represent 95% confidence

Patterns of MHC-G-Like and MHC-B Diversification in New World Monkeys. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The MHC class I (MHC-I) region in New World monkeys (Platyrrhini) has remained relatively understudied. To evaluate the diversification patterns and transcription behavior of MHC-I in Platyrrhini, we first analyzed public genomic sequences from the MHC-G-

Respiratory Animal Models in the Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus)
Veterinary Sciences, 2014 Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) are small non-human primates (NHPs) that are often used for respiratory research. Translational animal models of various pulmonary diseases in marmosets have been developed in favor of models in old world monkeys ...
