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

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]
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]
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 ...

An Adaptive Threshold in Mammalian Neocortical Evolution
Expansion of the neocortex is a hallmark of human evolution. However, it remains an open question what adaptive mechanisms facilitated its expansion.
