Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 305-322, June 2026.A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

A partial skeleton of the fossil great ape Hispanopithecus laietanus from Can Feu and the mosaic evolution of crown-hominoid positional behaviors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The extinct dryopithecine Hispanopithecus (Primates: Hominidae), from the Late Miocene of Europe, is the oldest fossil great ape displaying an orthograde body plan coupled with unambiguous suspensory adaptations.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1559, Issue 1, May 2026.Facial expressions depend on their underlying muscular architecture. Comparative macro and microanatomical analyses and fiber‐level quantification across 10 primate species show that the depressor anguli oris (DAO), the anatomical basis of AU15 (downward pulling of the mouth corner), is uniquely human and lacks a discrete homolog in nonhuman primates ...

Mammal extinctions and the increasing isolation of humans on the tree of life
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 A sixth great mass extinction is ongoing due to the direct and indirect effects of human pressures. However, not all lineages are affected equally. From an anthropocentric perspective, it is often purported that humans hold a unique place on Earth. Here,

Size Disparity in Putative Primate Adaptive Radiations and Other Mammalian Clades
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction Adaptive radiation is commonly viewed as the rapid production of phenotypic disparity and taxonomic diversity. Among primates, two clades have been identified as potential adaptive radiations: the lemurs of Madagascar and the platyrrhines of the Americas. This study examines these clades for one of the proposed signals of adaptive

Orangutan Alu quiescence reveals possible source element: support for ancient backseat drivers
Mobile DNA, 2012 Background Sequence analysis of the orangutan genome revealed that recent proliferative activity of Alu elements has been uncharacteristically quiescent in the Pongo (orangutan) lineage, compared with all previously studied primate genomes.

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 551-568, March 2026.Abstract Understanding the frequency and socio‐ecological drivers of contacts between humans and non‐human primates (NHPs) is crucial for enhancing coexistence that favours NHP conservation, while limiting negative consequences such as aggressions and cross‐species disease transmission.

Pojawienie się rodziny „Hominidae”
Anthropological Review, 1992 The appearance of the Hominidae Family is still very controversial, which is caused by great diversity and incompleteness of hominoid fossils. This problem refers to both taxonomic and phylogenetic interpretation of paleontological data, and also dating methods. The article widely discusses various attitudes, presented in literature.
