Spatiotemporal and Host Variations in Faecal Microbiomes of Hairy‐Nosed Wombats (Lasiorhinus spp.)
ABSTRACT The gut microbiome can play a critical role in humans and wildlife, assisting with digestion, immunity and detoxification. This community is often adapted to the animal's ecosystem and fluctuates with seasonal shifts in diet. The gut microbiome can also be altered by anthropogenic effects such as invasive species creating increasingly ...

Social Drivers of Vocal Flexibility in Female Baboons
Female olive baboons selectively grunt when encountering females with dependent offspring. Grunting likelihood depends on rank differences and the strength of their social bond. This study adds to the evidence that nonhuman primates have evolved to use structurally‐inflexible vocalisations in population and context‐flexible ways.

ABSTRACT Background Thyroid disease is reported in orangutans, but to properly diagnose and manage these disorders, reference intervals for circulating thyroid hormones are needed. Methods Commercial immunoassay kits for total thyroxine (TT4) and free thyroxine (FT4) were validated for use in orangutans (Pongo spp.).

ABSTRACT Nonhuman primates (NHPs) have emerged as an indispensable model for studying HIV pathogenesis, vaccines, and therapies. The development of chimeric Simian/Human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs) has been constructed by inserting HIV‐1 Env into the SIV (usually SIVmac239) backbone, and these have proved essential for evaluating HIV neutralizing ...

ABSTRACT Identifying close relatives in wild animal populations is fundamental across many research fields. Genetic estimates of relatedness have expanded rapidly in recent decades, drawing on a range of genetic data types. Here, we review their use and outline opportunities for future studies by combining two complementary approaches.
