Plant secondary metabolites and primate food choices: A meta‐analysis and future directions

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 84, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract The role of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) in shaping the feeding decisions, habitat suitability, and reproductive success of herbivorous mammals has been a major theme in ecology for decades. Although primatologists were among the first to test these ideas, studies of PSMs in the feeding ecology of non‐human primates have lagged in recent

Comprehensive search filters for retrieving publications on nonhuman primates for literature reviews (filterNHP)

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 83, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
Comprehensive Nonhuman primate search filters (and those for taxonomic sub‐groups) for literature reviews can be accessed using the filterNHP R package or at https://filterNHP.dpz.eu. Abstract Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are widely studied across many scientific disciplines using a variety of techniques in diverse environments.

Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (MCPH1) in cetaceans. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in ...

New mitogenomic lineages in Papio baboons and their phylogeographic implications

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 407-417, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Objectives Incomplete and/or biased sampling either on a taxonomic or geographic level can lead to delusive phylogenetic and phylogeographic inferences. However, a complete taxonomic and geographical sampling is often and for various reasons impossible, particularly for widespread taxa such as baboons (Papio spp.).

A refined panel of 42 microsatellite loci to universally genotype catarrhine primates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 498-505, January 2021., 2021
Even with genotyping‐by‐sequencing (GBS) of microsatellites issues with allelic dropout, null alleles and off‐target amplifications often remain due to poor primer design or using primers for cross‐species amplification. We re‐designed and validated a panel of 42 microsatellites providing a tool to universally genotype catarrhine primates via GBS from ...

A Molecular Phylogeny of Living Primates [PDF]

, 2011
Comparative genomic analyses of primates offer considerable potential to define and understand the processes that mold, shape, and transform the human genome.

Presence of the Maxillary Sinus in Fossil Colobinae (Cercopithecoides williamsi) from South Africa [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2008
AbstractExtant cercopithecoid monkeys, except macaques, are distinguished among primates by their lack of paranasal pneumatization, including the maxillary sinus (MS). Analysis of this structure, widespread among Eutheria, suggests that its loss occurred in the cercopithecoid common ancestor; thus, the presence of the MS in macaques is not strictly ...

Surviving at the highest and coldest: Nutritional and chemical components of fallback foods for Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A family of Yunnan snub‐nose monkeys is enjoying their fallback food, lichen. Abstract Fallback foods (FBF), categorized into staple and filler types, are suboptimal food sources chosen by animals in response to a scarcity of preferred food items during specific periods. Using lichens as FBF by Yunnan snub‐nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti) represents

Terrestriality as reflected in the humerus of Mesopithecus delsoni (Cercopithecidae, Colobinae) from Hadjidimovo, Bulgaria

Journal of Human Evolution, 2023
The fossil colobine genus Mesopithecus is the oldest European monkey, ranging from the Late Miocene to the earliest Pleistocene. It is one of the most successful genera of Old World monkeys since the late Neogene. Its ecology, as an indicator of Late Miocene environments, is of particular interest.

APOBEC3G Polymorphism as a Selective Barrier to Cross-Species Transmission and Emergence of Pathogenic SIV and AIDS in a Primate Host [PDF]

, 2013
Cellular restriction factors, which render cells intrinsically resistant to viruses, potentially impose genetic barriers to cross-species transmission and emergence of viral pathogens in nature. One such factor is APOBEC3G.
