Dental development and the evolution of life history in Hominidae [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Development of the dentition is critically integrated into the life cycle in living mammals. Recent work on dental development has given rise to three separate lines of evidence on the evolution of human growth and aging; these three, based on several ...

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

open access: yesMedical 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 ...

The appearance of the Hominidae family [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Exploring the Potential of Using Single‐Leech Metabarcoding Sequencing for Biodiversity Monitoring in a Tropical Forest of Peninsular Thailand

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Leech blood meals are ingenious biodiversity trackers in Thailand's rainforests. DNA analysis of these meals revealed over 30 vertebrate species, including elusive Malayan Tapirs and Clouded Leopards. Furthermore, multiple host DNAs within single leeches suggest a healthy, abundant wildlife population, making them an effective, noninvasive monitoring ...

Gene conversions in the growth hormone gene family of primates: Stronger homogenizing effects in the Hominidae lineage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In humans, the growth hormone/chorionic somatomammotropin gene family is composed of five highly similar genes. We characterized the gene conversions that occurred between the growth hormone genes of 11 primate species.

Anatomical Evidence for a Uniquely Human Depressor Anguli Oris and a Novel Helplessness Signaling Hypothesis

open access: yesAnnals 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 ...

Size Disparity in Putative Primate Adaptive Radiations and Other Mammalian Clades

open access: yesAmerican 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

Punctuated emergences of genetic and phenotypic innovations in eumetazoan, bilaterian, euteleostome, and hominidae ancestors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Phenotypic traits derive from the selective recruitment of genetic materials over macroevolutionary times, and protein-coding genes constitute an essential component of these materials.
