The evolution of bitter taste receptor gene in primates: Gene duplication and selection [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Bitter taste perception plays an important role in preventing animals from digesting poisonous and harmful substances. In primates, especially the Cercopithecidae species, most species feed on plants; thus, it is reasonable to speculate that most of the ...
