Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

Vicarious Reinforcement in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca Mulatta) [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011 What happens to others profoundly influences our own behavior. Such other-regarding outcomes can drive observational learning, as well as motivate cooperation, charity, empathy, and even spite. Vicarious reinforcement may serve as one of the critical mechanisms mediating the influence of other-regarding outcomes on behavior and decision-making in ...

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Elevated COMMD1 contributes to copper efflux in cardiomyocytes during chronic ischaemia in rhesus monkey hearts, regulated by XIAP through post‐translational modification. Our findings suggest a positive feedback loop among XIAP, COMMD1 and copper efflux, contributing to ischaemic cardiomyocyte loss.

Ethology, EarlyView.In a free‐ranging colony of domestic cats, individuals engaged in affiliative but not agonistic behaviors in a selective manner. The distribution of food resources but not relatedness influenced affiliative interactions between dyads of cats. When food was provided at feeding stations, there was a similar distribution of affiliative interactions among ...

Is Paw Preference in Rats Influenced by Environmental Novelty?
Ethology, EarlyView.This study aimed to investigate the effect of environmental novelty during adolescence and adulthood on the paw preference in rats. Therefore, rats experienced a regular enrichment change and were repeatedly tested for their paw preference. We found that a regular enrichment change did not alter their behavioural lateralisation.

Genetic Architecture of Immune Cell DNA Methylation in the Rhesus Macaque
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Genetic variation that impacts gene regulation, rather than protein function, can have strong effects on trait variation both within and between species. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, are often an important intermediate link between genotype and phenotype, yet genetic effects on DNA methylation remain understudied in natural ...

Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Macaca Mulatta [PDF]
Hepatitis Monthly, 2011 Dear Editor, One of the five known hepatitis viruses that can infect humans is hepatitis E virus (HEV). The first documented infection that was caused by HEV occurred in 1955 during an outbreak in New Delhi, India [1]. HEV is a small nonenveloped particle that belongs to the family Hepeviridae and the genus Hepevirus.

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Manual blood smear review (MSR) to complement automated CBC results is a labor‐intensive process. Efforts have been made to use criteria based on automated hematology analyzer data to identify samples warranting MSR. These efforts have coincided with the emergence of modern data science and machine learning. Objective In this study,

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Chinese pangolins are found from lowlands to mid‐hills in Nepal and are increasingly vulnerable to extinction due to extensive illegal trade and habitat fragmentation, particularly outside the protected areas network. The information about their ecological preferences in human‐dominated landscapes beyond protected areas is essential for ...

Identifying microRNAs and Their Editing Sites in Macaca mulatta [PDF]
Cells, 2019 MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that are critical in post-transcriptional regulation. Macaca mulatta is an important nonhuman primate that is often used in basic and translational researches. However, the annotation of miRNAs in Macaca mulatta is far from complete, and there are no reports of miRNA editing events in Macaca mulatta ...
