Among Animals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The tendency to see humans as special and separate influences even practices like scientific taxonomy which explicitly place them among other animals.

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 ...

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 ...

Evolucija hominida (por. Hominidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Evolution of hominids covers the period of the last 60 million years and it refers on the developement of apes and humans. The process of evolution has in a way been conditioned by the changes that arrose during time, and they included tectonic movements of the Earths crust, ocean draining and climate change – all of which made severe impact on the ...

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

Die Evolution des Menschen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Wir haben irgendwie einen gemeinsamen Ausgangspunkt mit Nichthominiden, mit "Nichtmenschen", das sind Menschenaffen. Nun ist die Frage: Wie sah dieser Ausgangspunkt aus?

Evidence of strong stabilizing effects on the evolution of boreoeutherian (Mammalia) dental proportions. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The dentition is an extremely important organ in mammals with variation in timing and sequence of eruption, crown morphology, and tooth size enabling a range of behavioral, dietary, and functional adaptations across the class.

The effect of foot posture on capacity to apply free moments to the ground: implications for fighting performance in great apes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In contrast to most other primates, great apes have feet in which the heel supports body weight during standing, walking and running. One possible advantage of this plantigrade foot posture is that it may enhance fighting performance by increasing the ...

The Bonobo Pan paniscus (Mammalia: Primates: Hominidae) nesting patterns and forest canopy layers in the Lake Tumba forests and Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of Congo

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2015
The description and differentiation of habitat types is a major concern in ecology.  This study examined relationships between Bonobo Pan paniscus nesting patterns and forest structure in the Lake Tumba Swampy Forests.

Predomination and new genotypes of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in captive nonhuman primates in zoos in China: high genetic diversity and zoonotic significance.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
To appreciate the genetic diversity and zoonotic implications of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in nonhuman primates (NHPs) in zoos, we genotyped E. bieneusi in captive NHPs in seven zoos located at six major cities in China, using ribosomal internal ...
