High Mammal Diversity and Flagship Species Persist Under Community Conservation in a Forest‐Savannah Transition Zone in Central Cameroon

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Community conservation areas often classified as council forests play an important role in the persistence or maintenance of diverse mammal communities. However, these areas often receive limited conservation attention and resources. The Yoko Council Forest (YCF) is among the key biodiversity hotspot areas found in Cameroon.

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

Frontiers 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

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 ...

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 ...

Dusky Langurs Trachypithecus obscurus (Reid, 1837) (Primates: Cercopithecidae) in Singapore: potential origin and conflicts with native primate species

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2020
The introduction of exotic species can have detrimental effects on local populations via factors such as resource competition and new threats from disease.

DeepForestVision: Automated wildlife identification for camera traps of African tropical forests

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) observed on camera trap in Kibale National Park, Uganda. This frame was extracted from a 30 s video classified as chimpanzee by DeepForestVision with a confidence score of 0.99 (©Sebitoli Chimpanzee Project). Abstract Tropical forests are rich in biodiversity but face the rapid loss of their wildlife due to increasing ...

Evaluation of a new method of fossil retrodeformation by algorithmic symmetrization: crania of papionins (Primates, Cercopithecidae) as a test case. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Diagenetic distortion can be a major obstacle to collecting quantitative shape data on paleontological specimens, especially for three-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis.

Non‐Carious Cervical Lesions in Wild Primates: Implications for Understanding Toothpick Grooves and Abfraction Lesions

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 2, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives In clinical settings, non‐carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are often linked to abrasion, erosion, abfraction, or a combination of these factors. In archaeological and paleontological remains, the most common NCCL is the “toothpick groove,” yet little is known about the occurrence of these and other NCCLs in wild non‐human primates ...

Bony orbital form in two groups of Catarrhini primates: how asymmetrical are they?

Annals of Tropical Research
The aim of this study was to compare left and right osseous orbit forms in two different Catarrhini primate genera using geometric morphometric techniques. The analysis was carried out on 20 well-preserved skulls from gorilla (Gorilla gorilla, n=10) and
