Primate lentiviruses use at least three alternative strategies to suppress NF-κB-mediated immune activation.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Primate lentiviruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to suppress the immune response of their host species. For example, HIV-2 and most simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) use their accessory protein Nef to prevent T cell activation and ...

Contribution à l’étude de la mobilité pollicale des primates actuels. Plaidoyer en faveur de l’importance du rôle de leur pouce

Revue de Primatologie, 2013
Fifty one anatomical specimens were dissected and the amplitudes of the trapeziometacarpal and metacacarpophalangeal joints of 33 were measured. These amplitudes were also measured on 26 animals asleep and many other animals were observed in relative ...

First record of Mesopithecus (Cercopithecidae, Colobinae) from the Miocene of the Iberian Peninsula

Journal of Human Evolution, 2015
We report dental remains of the extinct colobine monkey Mesopithecus from the Turolian (MN13, Late Miocene, ca. 6.23 Ma) locality of Venta del Moro (Valencia, Spain). They include most of the deciduous dentition and the unerupted germs of the first molars of a single infantile individual, as well as two lower left lateral incisors from two additional ...

Increased sampling reveals novel lineages of Entamoeba: consequences of genetic diversity and host specificity for taxonomy and molecular detection. [PDF]

, 2011
To expand the representation for phylogenetic analysis, ten additional complete Entamoeba small-subunit rRNA gene sequences were obtained from humans, non-human primates, cattle and a tortoise. For some novel sequences no corresponding morphological data

Prey capture and meat-eating by the wild colobus monkey _Rhinopithecus bieti_ in Yunnan, China [PDF]

, 2009
If it is true that extant primates evolved from an insectivorous ancestor, then primate entomophagy would be a primitive trait. Many taxa, however, have undergone a dietary shift from entomophagy to phytophagy, evolving a specialised gut and dentition ...

Rates of agonism among female primates: a cross-taxon perspective [PDF]

, 2013
Agonism is common in group-living animals, shaping dominance relationships and ultimately impacting individual tness. Rates of agonism vary considerably among taxa, however, and explaining this variation has been central in ecological models of female ...

Species‐level exploration of the gut microbiome in the leaf‐eating Presbytis monkeys reflected the effects of anthropogenic activity and specialized dietary niches: Conservation on the fourth biodiversity level

iMetaOmics, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
This study integrates full‐length 16S rRNA and deep metagenomic sequencing to explore species‐level gut microbial composition and function in two endangered leaf‐eating langur species—white‐headed langurs and François' langurs—across gradients of human disturbance.

Mitochondrial DNA for Phylogeny Building: Assessing Individual and Grouped mtGenes as Proxies for the mtGenome in Platyrrhines

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 3, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Phylogenetic trees are analytic tools used in primate studies to elucidate evolutionary relationships. Because of its relative ease to sequence and rapid evolution compared to nuclear genomes, mitochondrial DNA is frequently used for phylogeny building. This project evaluated the effectiveness of using individual or grouped mitochondrial genes
