How Food Geometry and Toughness Influence Ingestive Patterns in Lemurs
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.Initial bite placement is influenced by food toughness and geometry. Species‐specific feeding strategies reflect differences in masticatory morphology and functional flexibility. Lemur catta is more likely to use the postcanine tooth row; Propithecus verreauxi prefers anterior biting. ABSTRACT We investigate the extent to which food toughness, geometry,

Social Drivers of Vocal Flexibility in Female Baboons
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 390-398, June 2026.Female olive baboons selectively grunt when encountering females with dependent offspring. Grunting likelihood depends on rank differences and the strength of their social bond. This study adds to the evidence that nonhuman primates have evolved to use structurally‐inflexible vocalisations in population and context‐flexible ways.

Audience effects in sooty mangabey agonistic behavior
Frontiers in PsychologyThe term ‘Audience Effects’, refers to behavioral changes triggered by the mere presence of others and has been extensively studied in animals to explore their capacity for social awareness and intentionality.

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

New Middle Pleistocene Hominin Dental Remains From Velika Balanica, Serbia
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 2, October 2025.ABSTRACT Objective The cave site of Velika Balanica in Sićevo Gorge, Serbia, has previously yielded early Neanderthal dental remains from Layer 3a, dated by thermoluminescence to 285 ± 34 and 295 ± 74 ka. We describe and compare four additional dental specimens recovered from the Middle Pleistocene Layers 3a and 3b of the cave: a right I1 (BH‐8), a ...

Dental Microwear and Diets of Late Miocene Primates From Rudabánya, Hungary
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 1, September 2025.ABSTRACT Objectives This study focuses on a dental microwear texture analysis of European pliopithecids and dryopithecins from the Miocene primate site of Rudabánya, Hungary. The goal is to determine whether these taxa, found in part together in the same deposits, differed in their food preferences, or at least consumed, on a daily basis, in a manner ...

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT In stark contrast to our own highly plastic communicative abilities, nonhuman primate vocalizations were historically considered fixed and innate, with very little ability to learn or modify vocal signals. However, recent studies indicate that primate vocalizations do show evidence of developmental plasticity, most notably in their context and

Developmental Patterns of Serum Luteinizing Hormone, Gonadal and Adrenal Steroids in the Sooty Mangabey (Cercocebus atys) [PDF]
Biology of Reproduction, 1983 Serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHAS), androstenedione and cortisol were determined in multiple samples from 86 sooty mangabeys of varying ages (0-17 years). Testosterone, androstenedione, DHAS and cortisol were measured by radioimmunoassay; LH was determined by in vitro bioassay.
