Meat Acquisition Skill and Male Reproductive Success in Guinea Baboons
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives In human foraging societies, hunting skill is often interpreted as a signal of male quality linked to reproductive success through his ability to provision his family and community. Similarly, in some bird and insect species, males offer mates food to indicate their quality as a provider.

Prevalence of fur mites (Acari: Atopomelidae) in non-human primates of Costa Rica
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2009 Parasites have been investigated for some New World primates; however, very little is known about ectoparasites and specifically fur mites. In this study, Alouatta palliata, Cebus capucinus, Saimiri oerstedii, and Ateles geoffroyi monkeys from different ...

Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1298-1310, August 2026.We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.Structural, functional, and evolutionary links between two behavioral by‐products (i.e., stone play and female‐to‐female mounting—FFM) and their putative corresponding behavioral adaptations (i.e., stone tool use and female‐to‐male mounting—FMM) in Balinese long‐tailed macaques and Japanese macaques.

Defining AV2‐1 as a novel pharmacological probe to target human and rodent TRPV2
British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 13, Page 3538-3557, July 2026.Abstract Background and Purpose Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) is a non‐selective cation channel implicated in immune cell functions. However, progress in understanding TRPV2 has been limited by a lack of potent and selective pharmacological tools, particularly those targeting the human variant. We aimed to identify and characterise a

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1235-1254, June 2026.ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

The Importance of Sociality and Diet in Explaining Variation in the Bonobo Gut Microbiota
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 5, May 2026.Bonobo sociality explains more of the variation in the beta diversity for the bonobo gut microbiota than diet. ABSTRACT Gut microbial communities or the gut microbiota are of increasing interest due to the important role they play in nutrition, development, health, and disease.
