Sources of Variation in Fecal Haptoglobin in a Population of Wild Capuchin Monkeys (Cebus imitator)
Fecal haptoglobin values show significant seasonal variation in wild capuchin monkeys. Values are highest, and most variable in the early‐mid dry season, when fruit is typically scarce and water sources are standing pools, which can accumulate pathogens.

ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Twenty‐one compounds, including six dolabellanes diterpenes and one germacrene sesquiterpene that are new natural products, are reported from the brown algae Dictyota fasciola and Dictyota mediterranea collected from the Aegean Sea. Among them, some exhibit considerable antiviral activity against RNA (HCoV‐NL63, ZIKV) and DNA (HSV‐1) viruses.

The Evolution of Masturbation in Birds
Masturbation has been sporadically documented across animal groups, yet the evolutionary origins and persistence of this sexual behaviour are largely unexplored. Through combining targeted surveys with published accounts, we test hypotheses about why masturbation occurs using a phylogenetically broad dataset on the presence or absence of masturbation ...

Wildlife Roadkill in Chitwan, Nepal: Identifying Affected Species, Potential Drivers and Hotspots
A total of 618 cases involving 36 species of wild vertebrates were reported on sections of National Highways H01 and H05. Comparatively, species richness in road kills was higher on highway H01 (n = 343) than on H05 (n = 275). The road sections that cross between forests, forest edges, and residential areas consistently increase the number of ...
