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.

Comparison of forest regeneration in two sites with different primate abundances in Northwestern Ecuador [PDF]
, 2016 There is increasing evidence that large-bodied primates play important roles as seed dispersers and in the maintenance of tree diversity in forest ecosystems. In this study we compared forest regeneration at two sites with differing primate abundances in

Beyond Body Mass, Beyond Adulthood: The Ontogeny of Sexual Size Monomorphism
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 1, May 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Contest competition for mates and female reproductive energetics influence body size and sexual dimorphism across many primates; nevertheless, some monomorphic species defy these patterns. These deviations may reflect biological anthropology's focus on body mass and adult size as defining features of sexual dimorphism.

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 ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.In this study, we took advantage of the largest camera trap‐based monitoring project in Africa, Snapshot Safari and analyzed 10,000 camera trap detections from three sites in South Africa and one site in Tanzania to test whether baboons exhibit species‐specific reactive avoidance in response to the presence of predators. ABSTRACT Predators exert strong
