Cytomegalovirus distribution and evolution in hominines [PDF]

open access: yesVirus Evolution, 2019
Abstract Herpesviruses are thought to have evolved in very close association with their hosts. This is notably the case for cytomegaloviruses (CMVs; genus Cytomegalovirus) infecting primates, which exhibit a strong signal of co-divergence with their hosts. Some herpesviruses are however known to have crossed species barriers.

A morphometric analysis of hominin teeth attributed to Australopithecus, Paranthropus and Homo

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Science, 2016
Teeth are the most common element in the fossil record and play a critical role in taxonomic assessments. Variability in extant hominoid species is commonly used as a basis to gauge expected ranges of variability in fossil hominin species. In this study,

Reconstructing birth in Australopithecus sediba.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Hominin birth mechanics have been examined and debated from limited and often fragmentary fossil pelvic material. Some have proposed that birth in the early hominin genus Australopithecus was relatively easy and ape-like, while others have argued for a ...

Statistical shape modelling as a novel reconstruction tool in palaeoanthropology: A case study on fossil pelves

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
Reconstructing incomplete anatomical regions of extinct taxa is critical for understanding their ecological and evolutionary context, including their migration patterns, reproductive strategies and environmental adaptations.
