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 ...

Blood cell respirometry is associated with skeletal and cardiac muscle bioenergetics: Implications for a minimally invasive biomarker of mitochondrial health

Redox Biology, 2016
Blood based bioenergetic profiling strategies are emerging as potential reporters of systemic mitochondrial function; however, the extent to which these measures reflect the bioenergetic capacity of other tissues is not known. The premise of this work is

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.

Joint MiRNA/mRNA expression profiling reveals changes consistent with development of dysfunctional corpus luteum after weight gain. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Obese women exhibit decreased fertility, high miscarriage rates and dysfunctional corpus luteum (CL), but molecular mechanisms are poorly defined. We hypothesized that weight gain induces alterations in CL gene expression.

Population Viability Analysis to Inform Reintroduction Decisions for a Group‐Living Primate, the Barbary Macaque

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 34-47, February 2026.
We developed a population viability analysis to inform reintroduction strategies for the endangered Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus), incorporating age‐specific vital rates, release costs on survival and reproduction, environmental and demographic stochasticity, and catastrophic events.

Diversity of medium and large mammals in the Loka Abaya National Park, southern Ethiopia

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
We evaluated the richness, diversity, and composition of the medium and large mammal community in the Loka Abaya National Park (LANP), southern Ethiopia, and how these parameters differ among four habitat types: wooded grassland, riverine forest, hilly ...

Levofloxacin cures experimental pneumonic plague in African green monkeys. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
BACKGROUND: Yersinia pestis, the agent of plague, is considered a potential bioweapon due to rapid lethality when delivered as an aerosol. Levofloxacin was tested for primary pneumonic plague treatment in a nonhuman primate model mimicking human disease.

Comparison of Laser Doppler Flowmetry With Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound to Approximate Placental Microvascular Blood Flow in the African Green Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus)

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 55, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The ability to study in vivo microvascular flow within the placenta is limited. We sought to compare two techniques for evaluation of placental perfusion in a translational nonhuman primate model. Methods We measured placental microvascular perfusion in six pregnant African green monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus) using both ...
