A Molecular Phylogeny of Living Primates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Comparative genomic analyses of primates offer considerable potential to define and understand the processes that mold, shape, and transform the human genome.

Fake Webs, Real Results: Artificial Spiderwebs for eDNA Collection

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
We designed artificial spiderwebs to see if they are as good as natural spiderwebs at capturing airborne DNA. In comparison to water eDNA methods, both natural and artificial spiderwebs revealed a distinct signature of terrestrial communities, while artificial webs served as a good proxy for natural webs ‐ without the negative impacts on spiders and ...

An Exploration of DNA Extraction Methods of Fly iDNA for Scalable Biodiversity Monitoring

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
Metabarcoding of invertebrate‐derived DNA (iDNA) is an excellent tool for assessing terrestrial mammal diversity, but the time and costs associated with sample processing constrain its wider adoption. Our study indicates that the non‐destructive extraction of large pools of entire fly bodies has the potential to streamline and reduce the costs of fly ...

Orangutan Alu quiescence reveals possible source element: support for ancient backseat drivers

open access: yesMobile 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.

The impact of civil war on forest wildlife in West Africa: Mammals in Gola Forest, Sierra Leone [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Human conflicts may sometimes benefit wildlife by depopulating wilderness areas but there is evidence from Africa that the impacts tend to be negative. The forested states of West Africa have experienced much recent human conflict but there have been no ...

Integrating Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Remote Sensing Reveals Known and Novel Fish Diversity Hotspots in a World Heritage Area

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Western Australia, is highly vulnerable to climate change, yet its fish biodiversity remains poorly understood at fine spatial scales. We integrated environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding with high‐resolution remote sensing to assess and extrapolate fish diversity patterns, providing a scalable ...

Chimpanzee Rights: The Philosophers' Brief [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In December 2013, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP) filed a petition for a common law writ of habeas corpus in the New York State Supreme Court on behalf of Tommy, a chimpanzee living alone in a cage in a shed in rural New York (Barlow, 2017).

Incisor cross‐sectional area at the cementoenamel junction correlates with an increased reliance on frugivory in anthropoid primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 9, Page 2469-2489, September 2025.
Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains
