Scaling patterns of cerebellar petrosal lobules in Euarchontoglires:Impacts of ecology and phylogeny [PDF]
, 2022 The petrosal lobules (in whole or part homologous with the paraflocculi) of the cerebellum regulate functions associated with vision including smooth pursuit and velocity control of eye movements, suggesting a possible relationship between the petrosal ...

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

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.

Chewing on the trees: Constraintsand adaptation in the evolution of the primate mandible [PDF]
, 2015 Chewing on different food types is a demanding biological function. The classic assumption in studying the shape of feeding apparatuses is that animals are what they eat, meaning that adaptation to different food items accounts for most of their ...

Evolution of substrate specificity in the Nucleobase-Ascorbate Transporter (NAT) protein family
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 ...
