SIVagm Infection in Wild African Green Monkeys from South Africa: Epidemiology, Natural History, and Evolutionary Considerations [PDF]

, 2013
Pathogenesis studies of SIV infection have not been performed to date in wild monkeys due to difficulty in collecting and storing samples on site and the lack of analytical reagents covering the extensive SIV diversity.

A Pedigree With LHX4 and SOX3 Gene Variants Resulting in Gonadal Dysplasia

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome is a disease with multiple hormone deficiencies caused by pituitary stalk interruption. Identification of the pathogenic gene variant is helpful for early diagnosis. Early hormone replacement therapy is helpful to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

Possible male infanticide in wild orangutans and a re-evaluation of infanticide risk [PDF]

, 2019
Infanticide as a male reproductive tactic is widespread across mammals, and is particularly prevalent in catarrhine primates. While it has never been observed in wild orangutans, infanticide by non-sire males has been predicted to occur due to their ...

Positive reinforcement training to enhance the voluntary movement of group-housed sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys atys). [PDF]

J Am Assoc Lab Anim Sci, 2009
Positive reinforcement training (PRT) has successfully been used to train diverse species to execute behaviors helpful in the everyday care and wellbeing of the animals. Because little information is available about training sooty mangabeys (Cercocebus atys atys), we analyzed PRT with a group of 30 adult males as they were trained to shift from 1 side ...

Analysis of the Impact of Agriculture and Logging on Forest Habitat Structure in the Ankasa and Bia Conservation Area of Ghana

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
Ghana's Ankasa and Bia Conservation Areas are facing rapid forest loss due to the expansion of agricultural activities, leading to widespread land conversion. As a result, forest patches on the outskirts of these protected areas have become fragmented, isolated and disconnected.

The effects of feeding frequency on jaw loading in two lemur species

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 1, May 2024.
Abstract Objectives Studies on oral processing are often snapshots of behaviors that examine feeding through individual bouts. In this study, we expand on our previous work comparing bite/chew variables per feeding bout to summed daily biting, chewing, and food intake to interpret loading that could have potential morphological effects.

Isolation of a T-lymphotropic retrovirus from naturally infected sooty mangabey monkeys (Cercocebus atys). [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1986
Healthy mangabey monkeys in a colony at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center were found to be infected with a retrovirus related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Virus was isolated from peripheral blood cells of 14 of 15 randomly selected mangabeys.

Fly iDNA suggests strict reliance of the causative agent of sylvatic anthrax on rainforest ecosystems

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.
We show that fly iDNA can generate data on the geographic distribution and host range of Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis at kilometer scales, as well as reveal the pathogen's phylogenetic diversity. Our results highlight the power of fly iDNA for mammal biomonitoring and pathogen surveillance.

The evolution of female copulation calls in primates: a review and a new model [PDF]

Female copulation calls are mating-associated vocalizations that occur in some species of Old World monkeys and apes. We argue that copulation calls have two immediate functions: to encourage mating attempts by other males and to increase mate guarding ...
