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

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 383-400, August 2026.
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 ...

Autosomal recessive congenital cataract in captive‐bred vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) [PDF]

Journal of Medical Primatology, 2018
AbstractBackgroundThe aim of the study was to evaluate the genetic predisposition of congenital cataract in a colony of captive‐bred vervet monkeys.MethodsFour congenital cataract genes: glucosaminyl (N‐acetyl) transferase 2 (GCNT2), heat shock transcription factor 4 (HSF4), crystallin alpha A (CRYAA) and lens intrinsic membrane protein‐2 (LIM2) were ...

Global Data From Great Ape Zoo Populations Confirm a High Prevalence of Overweight Individuals

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.
A global database reveals that a majority of great apes kept in zoos are overweight, likely as a result of the mismatch between their biology and their zoo diets. Corrective measures are necessary to reverse the situation and further improve the health and welfare of great apes in zoos.

Social Behaviours and Networks of Vervet Monkeys Are Influenced by Gastrointestinal Parasites. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Substantial research has shown that while some parasite infections can be fatal to hosts, most infections are sub-clinical and non-lethal. Such sub-clinical infections can nonetheless have negative consequences for the long-term fitness of the host such ...

Influence of Vegetation Structure on Lemur Recolonization of Post‐Fire Habitats in Northwestern Madagascar

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 7, July 2026.
Lemur species respond differently to fire‐related vegetation changes (structure, species diversity) according to body size and ecological specialization in the dry deciduous forests of northwestern Madagascar. ABSTRACT Habitat quality is a key determinant of wildlife distribution. Fire degrades forests by increasing canopy openness and eliminating even

Community Perceptions of Grivet Monkey Crop Depredation in the Ethiopian Highlands: Implications for Primate Conservation

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Human–primate conflicts in Africa have been increasing due to increased human population growth and the resulting competition for forest resources. The Ethiopian Highlands in northern Ethiopia, home to the grivet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops), once ...
