Ontogeny of hallucal metatarsal rigidity and shape in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Life history variables including the timing of locomotor independence, along with changes in preferred locomotor behaviors and substrate use during development, influence how primates use their feet throughout ontogeny.

Evolutionary anatomy of the plantar aponeurosis in primates, including humans

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 237, Issue 1, Page 85-104, July 2020., 2020
The plantar aponeurosis is commonly assumed to be an adaptation to bipedal walking in humans that evolved in concert with the longitudinal arch. However, there is still considerable uncertainty about the comparative anatomy of plantar aponeurosis in non‐human primates, which has undermined attempts to test adaptive hypotheses about this structure.

Trypanosomatid infections in captive wild mammals and potential vectors at the Brasilia Zoo, Federal District, Brazil

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 248-256, May 2020., 2020
Conservation projects in zoos require translocations of captive animals, which may spread pathogens. We aimed to verify the occurrence of vectors (triatomines and sandflies) and to investigate Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infections in captive wild mammals in the Zoo Brasília.

Segmental morphometrics of the olive baboon (Papio anubis): a longitudinal study from birth to adulthood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The linear dimensions and inertial characteristics of the body are important in locomotion and they change considerably during the ontogeny of animals, including humans.

When food fights back: Cebid primate strategies of larval paper wasp predation and the high‐energy yield of high‐risk foraging. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Optimal foraging theory predicts that well-defended potential foods should be exploited only when energy pay-offs are great. Although stinging hymenopteran nests are both well-defended and predated by primates, their larvae's energy yields rarely have ...

Mitochondrial DNA diversity in the acanthocephalan Prosthenorchis elegans in Colombia based on cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene sequence

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Prosthenorchis elegans is a member of the Phylum Acanthocephala and is an important parasite affecting New World Primates in the wild in South America and in captivity around the world. It is of significant management concern due to its pathogenicity and

An Adaptive Threshold in Mammalian Neocortical Evolution

open access: yes, 2013
Expansion of the neocortex is a hallmark of human evolution. However, it remains an open question what adaptive mechanisms facilitated its expansion.
