Morphometric Analysis of Cranial Shape in Fossil and Recent Euprimates [PDF]

Anatomy Research International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Quantitative analysis of morphology allows for identification of subtle evolutionary patterns or convergences in anatomy that can aid ecological reconstructions of extinct taxa.

Genetically modified animals as models of neurodevelopmental conditions: A review of systematic review reporting quality. [PDF]

Brain Neurosci Adv
Using genetically modified animals to model neurodevelopmental conditions helps better our understanding of biology underlying these conditions. Animal research has unique characteristics not shared with clinical research, meaning systematic review ...

Variation in Pubic Symphysis Fusion Across Primates: Implications for Obstetric Adaptation. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
Variation in the fusion of the pubic symphysis in primate pelves. ABSTRACT Objectives The unfused human pubic symphysis has been interpreted as an obstetric adaptation to facilitate the passage of a large‐brained baby through a relatively small, bipedally adapted pelvis.

Variations in cochlea shape reveal different evolutionary adaptations in primates and rodents. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2023
The presence of a coiled cochlea is a unique feature of the therian inner ear. While some aspects of the cochlea are already known to affect hearing capacities, the full extent of the relationships between the morphology and function of this organ are ...

Mapping the Space of Genomic Signatures [PDF]

, 2014
We propose a computational method to measure and visualize interrelationships among any number of DNA sequences allowing, for example, the examination of hundreds or thousands of complete mitochondrial genomes.

The orobasal organ (of Ackerknecht): A bizarre structure of the mammalian oral cavity

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
In 1912, Ackerknecht discovered and described an epithelial invagination behind the lower medial incisors in different mammalian species. This rudimentary structure might be a vestiagial organ which lost its physiological function. Named after its discoverer the “orobasal organ of Ackerknecht” is widely unknown in the scientific world.

Two hundred and five newly assembled mitogenomes provide mixed evidence for rivers as drivers of speciation for Amazonian primates

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 14, Page 3888-3902, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Mitochondrial DNA remains a cornerstone for molecular ecology, especially for study species from which high‐quality tissue samples cannot be easily obtained. Methods using mitochondrial markers are usually reliant on reference databases, but these are often incomplete.

A comparative study of pre‐alpha islands in the entorhinal cortex from selected primates and in lissencephaly

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 530, Issue 4, Page 683-704, March 2022., 2022
The drawing at the top shows coronal sections through a gyrified human brain (at left) and a lissencephalic (‘’smooth,” i.e., lacking normal convolutions) human brain (at right). The lower half of the image shows exemplary images of primate brains with a strongly gyrified cortex (Pongo pygmaeus) versus a comparatively smooth brain surface (Perodicticus

The immune-modulating pregnancy-specific glycoproteins evolve rapidly and their presence correlates with hemochorial placentation in primates [PDF]

, 2021
BACKGROUND Pregnancy-specific glycoprotein (PSG) genes belong to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family, within the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. In humans, 10 PSG genes encode closely related secreted glycoproteins.

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.
