Size Disparity in Putative Primate Adaptive Radiations and Other Mammalian Clades
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

Pojawienie się rodziny „Hominidae”
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.

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.

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.

Mammal extinctions and the increasing isolation of humans on the tree of life
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,
