The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains

A Middle and Late Devensian sequence from the northern part of Kents Cavern (Devon, UK)
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.Abstract 1920s/30s excavation of a Middle Devensian sequence in the northern part of Kents Cavern recovered important Late Middle and Early Upper Palaeolithic archaeological material, including Britain's oldest known Homo sapiens remains. Questions remain about this material, including how it came to be in the cave.

Assessment of Vitamin D Status in Great Apes in Human Care
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Wild great apes, like these chimpanzees in Uganda, do seek direct sunshine even in their natural habitats. ABSTRACT Reliably assessing vitamin D status in nonhuman great apes presents unique challenges, including the optimal collection, handling and storage of appropriate samples, assay selection, and interpretation of results.

Third‐order self‐embedded vocal motifs in wild orangutans, and the selective evolution of recursion
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.Recursion, a core feature of language, was long considered unique to humans. We investigate rhythmic recursion in great ape vocalizations, analyzing Sumatran orangutan alarm calls and uncovering third‐order self‐embedded isochrony, with each level exhibiting unique variation dynamics and information content relative to context.

The human intelligence evolved from proximal cis‐regulatory saltations
Quantitative Biology, Volume 13, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract The divergence rate between the alignable genomes of humans and chimpanzees is as little as 1.23%. Their phenotypical difference was hypothesized to be accounted for by gene regulation. We construct the cis‐regulatory element frequency (CREF) matrix to represent the proximal regulatory sequences for each species.

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 5, May 2025.Mitochondrial DNA analysis suggests that founder‐event speciation played a key role in the divergence between cis‐Andean and trans‐Andean clades, as well as in the diversification of cis‐Andean lineages. Ancestral range reconstruction using mitochondrial genomes indicates that the most recent common ancestor of Alouatta had a widespread distribution ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 187, Issue 1, May 2025.An example of image capturing with OpenFace 2.0. In the three images (N, PF, and FPF), 3D facial landmarks (red/blue dots), head pose traking (blue/violet 3D polygons) and eye gaze traking (light green lines) are represented. FPF, full play face; N, neutral face; PF, play face.

Complex Variation in Afrotropical Mammal Communities With Human Impact
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Human activities significantly influence the diversity and community composition of Afrotropical mammal communities, varying across different scales and impacting conservation efforts. Our 7 year study using camera traps across 22 sites in 12 countries shows that while protected areas support higher species richness and more threatened species, human ...

Human Giardiasis in Ghana – A Scoping Review of Studies From 2004 to 2024
Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Background and Aim Human giardiasis poses a significant public health challenge globally, particularly in resource‐limited countries due to poor personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, and unsafe water. It affects approximately 300 million people globally every year, and children are the most at‐risk population.

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 8, 30 April 2025.Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) is a core component of the circadian clock, but its role in human retinal cells remains unclear. Using C‐terminal specific antibodies, we detected full‐length CRY1 exclusively in the outer segments of short wavelength‐sensitive “blue” cone photoreceptors in human, bonobo, and gorilla retinae.
