Does ulnar curvature covary with locomotion and substrate use in cercopithecids?

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates ulnar curvature in cercopithecids in relation to locomotor behaviors, introducing an analysis of anteroposterior and mediolateral curvature, using geometric morphometric on 167 specimens (23 species). Although the two curvatures distinguish arboreal and terrestrial quadrupeds, their moderate covariation suggests that they ...

Radiographic Assessment of Spinal Degeneration in Vervet Monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops): Prevalence, Patterns, and Relevance to Primate Aging Models

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.
Radiographic evaluation of 70 vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) maintained under human care revealed a high prevalence of age‐related spinal degeneration. Osteophytes emerged earliest and most prominently in the lumbar region. These region‐specific patterns parallel those reported in other catarrhine primates, supporting C.

Generation and characterization of two Vervet monkey induced pluripotent stem cell lines derived from fibroblasts

Stem Cell Research
Cross-species comparisons using pluripotent stem cells from primates are crucial to better understand human biology, disease, and evolution. The Vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) serves as an important primate model for such studies, and ...

Comparison of gastrointestinal microbiota in golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellanae), green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus), and ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta) by high throughput sequencing

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
High throughput sequencing of gut microbiota helps to understand the nutrition and health of the host. In this sense, it is an important tool for improving wildlife conservation and management.

The Crop Feeding Behavior of Rhesus Macaques in a Forest‐Farm Mosaic in Central Nepal: Implications for Human–Wildlife Coexistence

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.
Rhesus macaques in Nepal fed on crops for a longer duration and caused more crop damage when the foraging party was larger. Farmer interventions failed to reduce the duration of crop feeding and the amount of crop damage. ABSTRACT Human‐driven habitat change is forcing nonhuman primates to exploit anthropogenic landscapes, resulting in primate crop ...

A floristic description and utilisation of two home ranges by vervet monkeys in Loskop Dam Nature Reserve, South Africa

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2010
The plant communities occurring in the home ranges of two vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) troops (referred to as the Donga and Picnic troops) were investigated as part of a comprehensive research project on the spatial and temporal patterns in ...

T‐Cell Signaling Pathways, Including Exhaustion, Predominate in Unhealthy Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissues

Obesity, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 674-685, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Obesity is an imperfect correlate of metabolic health. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) characteristics are considered determinants of poor health and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) considered protective. There is a gap in knowledge regarding shared vs.

Schistosoma mansoni infection in human and nonhuman primates in selected areas of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2018
Background & objectives: The transmission of schistosomiasis, caused by trematodes of the genus Schistosoma, relies on freshwater snails that act as an intermediate host while human and other mammalian act as the definitive hosts. Many non-human primates
