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 ...

Hematology and serum chemistry values of sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys): comparison with rhesus monkeys. [PDF]
J Med Primatol, 2014 AbstractBackgroundThe sooty mangabey is a vulnerable West African species that naturally harbors simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) without pathological symptoms. We present normative hematology and serum chemistry values for this species.MethodsHematology analytes from 136 females and 96 males and serum chemistry analytes from 57 females and 26 males

The Evolution of Food Calls: Vocal Behaviour of Sooty Mangabeys in the Presence of Food
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 The two main theories of food-associated calls in animals propose functions either in cooperative recruitment or competitive spacing. However, not all social animals produce food calls and it is largely unclear under what circumstances this call type ...

Dominance hierarchy and spatial distribution in captive red-capped mangabeys (Cercocebus torquatus torquatus): Testing Hemelrijk's agent-based model [PDF]
, 2015 We empirically tested Hemelrijk's agent-based model (Hemelrijk 1998), in which dyadic agonistic interaction between primate-group subjects determines their spatial distribution and whether or not the dominant subject has a central position with respect ...

Health Science Reports, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Background and Aims The 2022‐mpox outbreak has spread worldwide in a short time. Integrated knowledge of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and transmission of mpox are limited. This systematic review of peer‐reviewed articles and gray literature was conducted to shed light on the epidemiology, clinical features, and transmission of ...

HIV Types, Groups, Subtypes and Recombinant Forms: Errors in Replication, Selection Pressure and Quasispecies [PDF]
, 2012 HIV-1 is a chimpanzee virus which was transmitted to humans by several zoonotic events resulting in infection with HIV-1 groups M P, and in parallel transmission events from sooty mangabey monkey viruses leading to infections with HIV-2 groups A H.

Mammal mitogenomics from invertebrate‐derived DNA
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 1004-1015, September 2023., 2023 The metabarcoding of vertebrate DNA found in invertebrates (iDNA) has proven a powerful tool for monitoring biodiversity. To date, iDNA has primarily been used to detect the presence/absence of particular taxa using metabarcoding. Here, we show that iDNA extracts often allow for the recovery of complete mammalian mitochondrial genomes, which paves the ...

The impact of civil war on forest wildlife in West Africa: Mammals in Gola Forest, Sierra Leone [PDF]
, 2011 Human conflicts may sometimes benefit wildlife by depopulating wilderness areas but there is evidence from Africa that the impacts tend to be negative. The forested states of West Africa have experienced much recent human conflict but there have been no ...
