But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans. [PDF]

Anat Rec (Hoboken)
Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

The Evolution of Primate Litter Size

Humans
Litter size plays an essential role in mammalian evolution and is one of the most important factors determining whether an organism is deemed to have a ‘slow’ or ‘fast’ life history strategy.

Neopterin as a Tool for Primate Ecoimmunology: Current Knowledge, Practical Application, and New Directions From Captivity to the Wild. [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Neopterin is a sensitive and specific biomarker of intracellular pathogen infection and chronic inflammation, and affected by environmental, life‐history, and sex‐contextual factors. This review offers best‐practice guidelines and practical advice on sample collection, storage, and analysis in primates when used for ecoimmunological conservation and ...

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

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.

Risk posed by the HPAI virus H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b. genotype B3.13, currently circulating in the US. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13 in U.S. dairy cattle marks a significant shift in the virus' host range and epidemiological profile. Infected cattle typically exhibit mild clinical signs, such as reduced milk production, mastitis and fever, with morbidity generally below 20% and
