Chimpanzees and death [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018
Information about responses to death in nonhuman primates is important for evolutionary thanatology. This paper reviews the major causes of death in chimpanzees, and how these apes respond to cues related to dying and death. Topics covered include disease, human activities, predation, accidents and intra-species aggression and cannibalism.

Expression of calcium-binding proteins and selected neuropeptides in the human, chimpanzee, and crab-eating macaque claustrum

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014
The claustrum is present in all mammalian species examined so far and its morphology, chemoarchitecture, physiology, phylogenesis and ontogenesis are still a matter of debate.

Metabolism Controls the Timing of Human Brain Development and Maturation. [PDF]

J Inherit Metab Dis
ABSTRACT Among primates the human brain is the largest in size, exhibiting a higher neuronal density and connectivity. The prolonged expansion and subsequent connectome reorganization of the human brain have been suggested to promote higher cognitive and behavioral abilities.

Membranous dysmenorrhea and decidual casts: A scoping review

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Membranous dysmenorrhea, characterized by the expulsion of intact endometrial tissue rather than gradual dissolution during menstruation, occasionally presents as a decidual cast—a complete triangular mold of the uterine cavity. This poorly understood condition is likely underdiagnosed.

Alu recombination-mediated structural deletions in the chimpanzee genome. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2007
With more than 1.2 million copies, Alu elements are one of the most important sources of structural variation in primate genomes. Here, we compare the chimpanzee and human genomes to determine the extent of Alu recombination-mediated deletion (ARMD) in ...

Metagenomic analysis of dental calculus in ancient Egyptian baboons [PDF]

, 2019
Dental calculus, or mineralized plaque, represents a record of ancient biomolecules and food residues. Recently, ancient metagenomics made it possible to unlock the wealth of microbial and dietary information of dental calculus to reconstruct oral ...

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Under the Lens of Structure: From Prefusion Stabilization to Next‐Generation Immunotherapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
This illustration integrates key concepts covered in the review, including high‐risk populations, viral structure, host entry factors, the replication cycle, and licensed antibody‐based prevention strategies. ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a negative‐sense RNA virus belonging to the genus Orthopneumovirus within the family Pneumoviridae.

Comparative metabolomics in primates reveals the effects of diet and gene regulatory variation on metabolic divergence. [PDF]

, 2014
Human diets differ from those of non-human primates. Among few obvious differences, humans consume more meat than most non-human primates and regularly cook their food.

CardiacDP: An R package for rapid automated cardiac data processing, integrating autocorrelation, a genetic algorithm, and a tracking index

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart rate is a popular proxy of physiological responses, but the highly complex and variable cardiac data obtained from organisms such as marine invertebrates pose a major challenge to efficient and accurate data processing. To address this, we developed a novel, integrative algorithm for rapid and automated cardiac data processing.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to
