Comparative kinomics of human and chimpanzee reveal unique kinship and functional diversity generated by new domain combinations

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Phosphorylation by protein kinases is a common event in many cellular processes. Further, many kinases perform specialized roles and are regulated by non-kinase domains tethered to kinase domain. Perturbation in the regulation of kinases leads

Chimpanzee Autarky

PLoS ONE, 2008
Economists believe that barter is the ultimate cause of social wealth--and even much of our human culture--yet little is known about the evolution and development of such behavior. It is useful to examine the circumstances under which other species will or will not barter to more fully understand the phenomenon.

Vaccinating captive chimpanzees to save wild chimpanzees [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Although infectious disease is now recognized as a major threat to wild gorillas and chimpanzees, safety fears have stifled the use of a powerful disease control tool, vaccination. To illustrate that safety can be rigorously evaluated before vaccines are used on wild apes, we conducted what is, to our knowledge, the first ...

Coordination challenges shape signal complexity in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus), but not in mangabeys (Cercocebus atys atys) [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Increased coordination challenges, such as in the negotiation of group movement and activity, has been suggested to promote communicative complexity. This hypothesis, however, has rarely been tested within and between species, specifically in relation to

Quantitative assessment of prefrontal cortex in humans relative to nonhuman primates [PDF]

, 2018
Significance A longstanding controversy in neuroscience pertains to differences in human prefrontal cortex (PFC) compared with other primate species; specifically, is human PFC disproportionately large? Distinctively human behavioral capacities

Chimpanzee hunting behavior [PDF]

, 2007
The pursuit, capture and consumption of small-and medium-sized vertebrates, appears to be typical of all chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) populations, although large variation exists. Red colobus monkeys (Piliocolobus sp.) appear to be the preferred prey but

The plight of the sense-making ape [PDF]

, 2014
This is a selective review of the published literature on object-choice tasks, where participants use directional cues to find hidden objects. This literature comprises the efforts of researchers to make sense of the sense-making capacities of our ...
