The DNA binding parvulin Par17 is targeted to the mitochondrial matrix by a recently evolved prepeptide uniquely present in Hominidae [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2007 Background The parvulin-type peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase Par14 is highly conserved in all metazoans. The recently identified parvulin Par17 contains an additional N-terminal domain whose occurrence and function was the focus of the present study.

Gorilla beringei(Primates: Hominidae)
Mammalian Species, 2018 Gorilla beringeiMatschie, 1903 is a great ape commonly called the eastern gorilla. Highly sexually dimorphic, this diurnal knuckle-walking quadruped is 1 of 2 species of Gorilla, the largest living primates. It is endemic to northwest Rwanda and southwest Uganda as G. b. beringei, and to eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo as G. b. beringei and G.

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

Clades, Grades, and the Genus Problem: A Case for Revising Hominin Taxonomy. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Taxonomic practice in evolutionary biology increasingly prioritizes the recognition of monophyletic groups (clades), yet paleoanthropology still applies this principle inconsistently. Here, I outline these inconsistencies and broader challenges in hominin taxonomy and propose a potential solution.

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

Taxon, Arboreality, Sex, and Season-Factors Influencing Gastrointestinal Parasite Occurrence in Zoo-Housed Non-Human Primates. [PDF]
Zoo BiolABSTRACT The emergence of anthelminthic resistance is a well‐documented phenomenon in livestock and companion animals. Given the scarcity of new antiparasitic drugs, the implementation of effective, holistic anthelminthic control strategies is critical to preserving the efficacy of existing treatments.
