Enamel Prism Angle Variation and Hard-Object Feeding in Cercopithecoids With Known Diets. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolLeft: Cercocebus atys specimen 16–9 third molar showing Phase II enamel prism angle (angle between prism path and wear facet) and wear angle (angle between wear facet and enamel dentin junction (EDJ)). Scatterplot of prism vs. wear angles for the Phase II wear facet. Note the higher angles for Cercocebus.

Impact of Environmental and Anthropogenic Factors on Mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) Occupancy and Habitat Use in Monte Alén National Park, Equatorial Guinea. [PDF]
Am J PrimatolCamera trap data showed that mandrills were not found evenly distributed across MANP. Mandrill occupancy decreased when distance to water bodies increased. Whereas, when distance to hunting camps increased, mandrill occupancy decreased. ABSTRACT Understanding the ecological and anthropogenic factors shaping primate distribution is critical for ...

Molar Cervical Root Cross-Sectional Morphology and Diet in Extant Catarrhines. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives External tooth root morphology has demonstrated utility in understanding the mechanical function of teeth including patterns of loading during mastication and the overall mechanical challenge of foods consumed. Yet, there is still a paucity of information regarding how signals of diet, apart from these patterns, might be reflected ...

Dental topography and dietary specialization in Papionini primates
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Our understanding of primate adaptive evolution depends on appreciating the way in which dental functional morphology affects food processing. The Papionini tribe of Cercopithecoidea primates shows great dietary versatility and ecological adaptations to ...

Serosurveillance of Leishmania infantum in Zoo-Kept Animals in Spain. [PDF]
Zoonoses Public HealthABSTRACT Introduction Leishmaniosis is a sand fly‐borne zoonosis mainly caused by Leishmania infantum in Europe. Exposure to this protozoan has been widely reported in many domestic and wild species. However, epidemiological surveys evaluating the circulation of L. infantum in zoo‐kept animals remain limited. This large‐scale study aims to evaluate the

Acquisition of predator knowledge from alarm calls via one-trial social learning in monkeys
iScience, 2022 Summary: How do animals learn to classify the world and what is the role of social learning during this process? Here, we show that young sooty mangabeys, Cercocebus atys, of Taï Forest, Côte d’Ivoire, learn to rapidly classify an unfamiliar predator by ...

Impact of dominance rank specification in dyadic interaction models.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Dominance rank is a vital descriptor of social dynamics in animal societies and regularly used in studies to explain observed interaction patterns. However, researchers can choose between different indices and standardizations, and can specify dyadic ...

Hard-object feeding in sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys) and interpretation of early hominin feeding ecology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Morphology of the dentofacial complex of early hominins has figured prominently in the inference of their dietary adaptations. Recent theoretical analysis of craniofacial morphology of Australopithecus africanus proposes that skull form in this taxon ...
