Novel γ-2-Herpesvirus of the Rhadinovirus 2 Lineage in Gibbons
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 We obtained 475 nucleotides of the DNA polymerase gene of a novel human herpesvirus 8 homolog sequence in a gibbon. The finding of this new gibbon virus, which clusters with a related chimpanzee virus in the rhadinovirus 2 genogroup, suggests the ...

Transient co-singing of offspring and mothers in non-duetting Javan gibbons (Hylobates moloch)
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 While the vocalizations of non-human primates were thought to be innate, recent studies have revealed highly flexible vocalizations in immatures. This behavior suggests that social influences have an important role in developing vocalizations.

VOCAL COMMUNICATION IN GIBBONS [PDF]
The Evolution of Language, 2014 Many non-human primates use vocal communication referentially and also use simple syntax and grammar. However, their comparative vocal repertoires are disappointingly sparse, with many researchers concluding that they have fixed vocal patterns made up of a limited number of discrete units used in a relatively small array of contexts (see McComb ...

Ecological Indicators, 2023 The extraction of species-specific calls from passive acoustic recordings is a common preliminary step in ecological analysis. But for many species, especially those occupying noisy, acoustically variable habitats, the call extraction process remains ...

The English Historical Review, 2016 Abstract A strand in current scholarship examines early Islam and the Caliphate against a late antique backdrop of Sasanid–Roman tension, dogmatic strife in the Church, and the maturation of rabbinic Judaism. Gibbon long ago insisted that there had been more than one road out of Antiquity, leading not just to the formation of Latin ...

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Intraspecific variation in social organization (IVSO) within primate populations can arise due to male mating competition. Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) populations exhibit both single‐male and multi‐male groups, providing an opportunity to examine the relationship between male competitive ability and social organization.
