Genomic and functional co-diversification imprint African Hominidae microbiomes to signal dietary and lifestyle adaptations [PDF]

Gut Microbes
In the diverse landscape of African hominids, the obligate relationship between the host and its microbiome narrates signals of adaptation and co-evolution.

Multidimensional primate niche space sheds light on interspecific competition in primate evolution [PDF]

Communications Biology
Characterising how the totality of primate diversity is distributed across the order, and how it evolved, is challenging because diversity in individual traits often show opposing phylogenetic patterns.

Saltations of c is-regulatory modules in Canidae and Hominidae [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Dogs, which were segregated from wolves about thirty thousand years ago, show unique human-similar social-cognitive abilities. However, the genomic basis accounting for the phenotypic saltation between dog and wolf remains unclear.

Left ventricular trabeculation in Hominidae: divergence of the human cardiac phenotype [PDF]

Communications Biology
Although the gross morphology of the heart is conserved across mammals, subtle interspecific variations exist in the cardiac phenotype, which may reflect evolutionary divergence among closely-related species.

Phenotypic and Genotype Patterns of Antimicrobial Resistance in Non-Human Primates: An Overlooked “One Health” Concern [PDF]

Antibiotics
Non-human primates (NHPs) are close relatives of humans and can serve as hosts for many zoonotic pathogens. They play crucial role in spreading antimicrobial resistant bacteria (AMR) to humans across various ecological niches. The spread of antimicrobial

Treeline Provides a Unified Strategy for Optimising Phylogenetic Trees Under Alternative Criteria. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT The choice of optimality criterion is a key consideration in phylogenetic studies. Recent work challenges the notion that more computationally demanding optimisation objectives result in better phylogenetic trees. This finding underscores the importance of comparing trees across optimisation objectives in addition to different models of ...

Vector-borne diseases-knowledge maps. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract This scientific report provides a structured overview of the main characteristics of 25 selected vector‐borne diseases (VBDs) of potential relevance for the EU, including 12 diseases listed under the Animal Health Law (AHL) and 13 non‐listed diseases.

Human reproduction is regulated by retrotransposons derived from ancient Hominidae-specific viral infections

Nature Communications, 2022
The transcription factor network required for primordial germ cell (PGC) specification is known to diverge in mammals. Here the authors show that hominidae-specific transposable element (TE) LTR5Hs becomes transcriptionally active during PGC ...

Preliminary Assessment of Siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus) Cognition Using Digital Cognition Testing Software and Touchscreen Technology [PDF]

Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2023
Studies of nonhuman primate cognition have traditionally employed subjects from the monkey (Cercopithecoidea) and ape (Hominidae) lineages, with relatively much less examination of the phylogenetically intermediate gibbons (Hylobatidae).

Bite-DNA Shows Substantial Browsing on Willows (<i>Salix</i> spp.) by North American Bison in Yellowstone National Park. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Riparian willows in Yellowstone National Park are shaped by ungulate browsing, but species‐specific contributions remain unclear. Using bite‐DNA metabarcoding of browsed willow twigs across six northern range sites, we found that American bison were the most frequent browsers, exceeding elk and often mule deer.
