Posture-Transformed Monkey Phantoms Developed From a Visible Monkey
Applied Sciences (Switzerland), 2021 A monkey phantom is of significant value for electromagnetic radiation (EMR) dosimetry simulations. Furthermore, phantoms in various postures are needed because living beings are exposed to EMR in various postures during their daily routine.

Life History of the Most Complete Fossil Primate Skeleton: Exploring Growth Models for Darwinius [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Darwinius is an adapoid primate from the Eocene of Germany, and its only known specimen represents the most complete fossil primate ever found. Its describers hypothesized a close relationship to Anthropoidea, and using a Saimiri model estimated its age ...

Macroevolutionary dynamics and historical biogeography of primate diversification inferred from a species supermatrix. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Phylogenetic relationships, divergence times, and patterns of biogeographic descent among primate species are both complex and contentious. Here, we generate a robust molecular phylogeny for 70 primate genera and 367 primate species based on a ...

Evolution of substrate specificity in the Nucleobase-Ascorbate Transporter (NAT) protein family [PDF]
Microbial Cell, 2018 L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an essential metabolite in animals and plants due to its role as an enzyme co-factor and antioxidant activity. In most eukaryotic organisms, L-ascorbate is biosynthesized enzymatically, but in several major groups ...

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

Evolutionary Signal and Development of the Foramen Dorsum Sellae (Nov.) Across Primates. [PDF]
J MorpholThe dorsum sellae of the sphenoid bone occasionally exhibits an accessory opening, though its significance is unknown. We scored its presence in humans (N = 114) and 30 non‐human primate genera (N = 1468) and combined histological, dissection‐based, and phylogenetic approaches to understand its function. The foramen occurred in 12% of humans and 33% of
