Topography of cranial foramina and anaesthesia techniques of cranial nerves in selected species of primates (Cebidae, Cercopithecidae, Lemuridae) - part I - osteology. [PDF]
BMC Vet Res, 2023 Background Conductive anaesthesia of the nerves around the head is one of the methods of intraoperative pain relief (under deep anaesthesia but before proceeding with the procedure). Performing this procedure on primates is especially challenging for the

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 ...

Exploring the diversity of AVPR2 in Primates and its evolutionary implications [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2023 The current study focuses on the investigation of AVPR2 (VTR2C) protein-coupled receptor variants specific to different primate taxa. AVPR2 is activated by the neurohormone AVP, which modulates physiological processes, including water homeostasis.

Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe decline of forest ecosystems due to anthropogenic pressures directly threatens the wildlife that depends on them. These pressures extend even to protected areas, undermining their role as sanctuaries for animal species.

Development of a global thermal detection index to prioritize primate research with thermal drones [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThermal Infrared (TIR) drones are emerging as effective tools for wildlife ecology monitoring and are increasingly employed in primate surveys. However, systematic methods for assessing primate detectability are lacking.

First record of Theropithecus (Cercopithecidae) from the Republic of Djibouti
Journal of Human Evolution, 2020 We describe here several specimens of the genus Theropithecus from the southern shore of Lake Assal in the Republic of Djibouti; they are the first record of the genus from this country. We assign them to a derived stage of T. oswaldi. This identification has implications for the age of the informal 'Formation 1' from this area, which should probably ...
