Analysis of winter diet in Guizhou golden monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi) using DNA metabarcoding data. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our DNA metabarcoding analysis has revealed that Rhinopithecus brelichi predominantly feeds on plants from the Magnoliaceae and Rubiaceae families, Diptera and Coleoptera insects, as well as macrofungi such as Agaricales throughout the winter season. Abstract The Guizhou golden monkey (Rhinopithecus brelichi) is a critically endangered wildlife species,

Comprehensive phylogenomic analysis reveals a novel cluster of simian endogenous retroviral sequences in Colobinae monkeys [PDF]

American Journal of Primatology, 2018
Simian retrovirus (SRV) is a type‐D betaretrovirus infectious to the Old World monkeys causing a variety of symptoms. SRVs are also present in the Old World monkey genomes as endogenous forms, which are referred to as Simian endogenous retroviruses (SERVs).

Chewed Out: An Experimental Link between Food Material Properties and Repetitive Loading of the Masticatory Apparatus in Mammals [PDF]

, 2015
Using a model organism (rabbits) that resembles a number of mammalian herbivores in key aspects of its chewing behaviors, we examined how variation in dietary mechanical properties a ects food breakdown during mastication. Such data have implications for

Chewing on the trees: Constraintsand adaptation in the evolution of the primate mandible [PDF]

, 2015
Chewing on different food types is a demanding biological function. The classic assumption in studying the shape of feeding apparatuses is that animals are what they eat, meaning that adaptation to different food items accounts for most of their ...

Primate numts and reticulate evolution of capped and golden leaf monkeys (Primates: Colobinae) [PDF]

Journal of Biosciences, 2008
A recent phylogenetic study of langurs and leaf monkeys of South Asia suggested a reticulate evolution of capped and golden leaf monkeys through ancient hybridization between Semnopithecus and Trachypithecus .To test this hybridization scenario, I analysed nuclear copies of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (numts) from capped,golden and Phayre's ...

Acoustic structure of male loud-calls support molecular phylogeny of Sumatran and Javanese leaf monkeys (genus Presbytis)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background The degree to which loud-calls in nonhuman primates can be used as a reliable taxonomic tool is the subject of ongoing debate. A recent study on crested gibbons showed that these species can be well distinguished by their songs; even at the ...

Using the gut microbiota as a novel tool for examining colobine primate GI health

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2016
Primates of the Colobinae subfamily are highly folivorous. They possess a sacculated foregut and are believed to rely on a specialized gut microbiota to extract sufficient energy from their hard-to-digest diet.

Natural range extension, sampling artifact, or human mediated translocations? Range limits of Northern type Semnopithecus entellus (Dufresne, 1797) (Primates: Cercopithecidae: Colobinae) in peninsular India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2011
The Semnopithecus entellus can be broadly classified into two morphotypes based on tail carriage, namely the northern and the southern types (NT & ST).
