Endangered Apes—Can Their Behaviors Be Used to Index Fear and Disturbance in Anthropogenic Landscapes?

Diversity, 2021
Behaviors exhibited by prey species towards predators (including humans) can reduce feeding time and increase time spent in vigilance, thereby impacting animal condition and ultimately limit populations, even when actual mortality from predation is low ...

Evolutionary Signal and Development of the Foramen Dorsum Sellae (Nov.) Across Primates. [PDF]

J Morphol
The dorsum sellae of the sphenoid bone occasionally exhibits an accessory opening, though its significance is unknown. We scored its presence in humans (N = 114) and 30 non‐human primate genera (N = 1468) and combined histological, dissection‐based, and phylogenetic approaches to understand its function. The foramen occurred in 12% of humans and 33% of

Taxon, Arboreality, Sex, and Season-Factors Influencing Gastrointestinal Parasite Occurrence in Zoo-Housed Non-Human Primates. [PDF]

Zoo Biol
ABSTRACT The emergence of anthelminthic resistance is a well‐documented phenomenon in livestock and companion animals. Given the scarcity of new antiparasitic drugs, the implementation of effective, holistic anthelminthic control strategies is critical to preserving the efficacy of existing treatments.

Surtos interespecíficos de dermatomicoses por Microsporum canis e Microsporum gypseum

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1994
As dermatomicoses dos animais domésticos constituem zoonoses importantes, urna vez que estes mantêm estreito contato com a espécie humana, dada a alta infectividade observada nesses processos.

Transient co-singing of offspring and mothers in non-duetting Javan gibbons (Hylobates moloch)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
While the vocalizations of non-human primates were thought to be innate, recent studies have revealed highly flexible vocalizations in immatures. This behavior suggests that social influences have an important role in developing vocalizations.

Intestinal Parasites and the Occurrence of Zoonotic Giardia duodenalis Genotype in Captive Gibbons at Krabokkoo Wildlife Breeding Center, Thailand

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Intestinal parasitic infections can have an impact on health and growth of wildlife. The current study aims were to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites and to molecular characterize Giardia duodenalis and Cryptosporidium spp.

Mitochondrial evidence for multiple radiations in the evolutionary history of small apes

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background Gibbons or small apes inhabit tropical and subtropical rain forests in Southeast Asia and adjacent regions, and are, next to great apes, our closest living relatives.

Functional Differences in Muscle Architecture Across the Pelvis and Hind Limb of Primates. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives Understanding the architectural diversity of primate musculature is essential for interpreting locomotor function and reconstructing evolutionary adaptations. This study examines whether interspecific differences in pelvic and hind limb muscle architecture reflect functional differentiation among major muscle groups.

A comparative analysis of Y chromosome and mtDNA phylogenies of the Hylobates gibbons

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background The evolutionary relationships of closely related species have long been of interest to biologists since these species experienced different evolutionary processes in a relatively short period of time.
