Tex19 and Sectm1 concordant molecular phylogenies support co-evolution of both eutherian-specific genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
International audienceBackground: Transposable elements (TE) have attracted much attention since they shape the genome and contribute to species evolution. Organisms have evolved mechanisms to control TE activity. Testis expressed 19 (Tex19) represses TE

A hypothesis-based approach to species identification in the fossil record: a papionin case study

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Modern papionin monkeys are a diverse group that encompasses a broad range of morphologies, behaviors, and ecologies. A fossil genus known from African Plio-Pleistocene deposits, Parapapio, is widely regarded as a candidate ancestor to later African ...

The static allometry of sexual and non-sexual traits in vervet monkeys [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Sexual traits vary tremendously in static allometry. This variation may be explained in part by body size-related differences in the strength of selection.

New femoral evidence from the Afar reveal the early evolution of habitual squatting behaviors in the genus Theropithecus

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionThe femoral anatomy of fossil Theropithecus is poorly known, although it provides critical data for inferring squatting behaviors, a characteristic trait of extant Theropithecus gelada.MethodsHere, we describe and provide functional and ...

First record of Theropithecus (Cercopithecidae) from the Republic of Djibouti

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Environmental and Anthropogenic Drivers of Mammalian Functional Diversity in Bénoué National Park, Cameroon

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study explores the drivers of mammalian functional diversity in Benoué National Park, Cameroon, focusing on the combined effects of environmental filtering, spatial structure, and plant–animal interactions. Results show that both vegetation characteristics and spatial configuration significantly influence trait distribution, highlighting the ...
