Genomic and functional co-diversification imprint African Hominidae microbiomes to signal dietary and lifestyle adaptations [PDF]
Gut MicrobesIn the diverse landscape of African hominids, the obligate relationship between the host and its microbiome narrates signals of adaptation and co-evolution.

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

Human reproduction is regulated by retrotransposons derived from ancient Hominidae-specific viral infections [PDF]
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 ...

Saltations of c is-regulatory modules in Canidae and Hominidae [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDogs, 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.

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

Evolution of alpha-Gal synthesis - a growing risk for alpha Gal syndrome [PDF]
Annals of MedicineBackground Alpha-Gal syndrome (AGS) is a growing burden worldwide associated with arthropods and allergies with pathologies such as urticaria, digestive and anaphylactic reactions. These reactions commonly appear 2–6 h after consumption of mammalian meat

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

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).
