The Middle Miocene ape Pierolapithecus catalaunicus exhibits extant great ape-like morphometric affinities on its patella: inferences on knee function and evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The mosaic nature of the Miocene ape postcranium hinders the reconstruction of the positional behavior and locomotion of these taxa based on isolated elements only.

Functional Implications of Human-Specific Changes in Great Ape microRNAs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 microRNAs are crucial post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression involved in a wide range of biological processes. Although microRNAs are highly conserved among species, the functional implications of existing lineage-specific changes and their ...

Imitation recognition in great apes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2008 SummaryHuman infants imitate not only to acquire skill, but also as a fundamental part of social interaction [1–3]. They recognise when they are being imitated by showing increased visual attention to imitators (implicit recognition) and by engaging in so-called testing behaviours (explicit recognition).

In the Zone: Towards a Comparative Study of Flow State in Primates [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2023 Flow is an altered state of feeling ‘in the zone’ when fully absorbed in a challenge and is associated with positive affective state (feelings). Despite almost five decades of research, Flow has not yet been recognized in non- human animals, despite ...
