The vocal repertoire of Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana): A quantitative classification
American Journal of Primatology, 2016 Vocal repertoires are basic and essential components for describing vocal communication in animals. Studying the entire suite of vocal signals aids investigations on the variation of acoustic structure across social contexts, comparisons on the complexity of communication systems across taxa, and in exploration of the evolutionary origins of species ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Emerging infectious diseases increasingly threaten giant pandas and cohabiting species. This review analyzes pathogen transmission risks from domestic animals, wildlife, and vectors and proposes an integrated genomic surveillance framework for early warning and biodiversity conservation.

Age‐Trajectory of Mother–Infant Relationships in Wild Assamese Macaques
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2026.Maternal care in wild Assamese macaques declined sharply between 1 and 3 months of infant age as infant independence increased, and stabilized from around 6 months, with no sex differences in the trajectory. This early shift aligns with the species' seasonal breeding strategy, with females balancing investment in current and future offspring.

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.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.

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 936-947, September 2025.This study revealed the basic structures of gut mycobiota of three wild Rhinopithecus species. The gut mycobiota of Rhinopithecus showed close connection with their feeding habits, and there were associations between gut mycobiota and the host's living environments.

Sequences of Tibetan Macaque (Macaca thibetana) and Tourist Behaviors at Mt. Huangshan, China [PDF]
Primate Conservation, 2009 Abstract: Previous research on Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) at Mt. Huangshan, China, suggested that ecotourism can have detrimental consequences. This study identified sequences of behaviors that typically occur in macaque-tourist interactions to examine whether particular tourist behaviors precipitate monkey responses.

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Clinical microbiology involves the detection and differentiation of primarily bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi in patients with infections. Billions of people may be colonised by one or more species of common luminal intestinal parasitic protists (CLIPPs) that are often detected in clinical microbiology laboratories; still, our knowledge

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 8, August 2025.ABSTRACT Infant survival is an important component of parental fitness in iteroparous species with slow life histories. From the infant's perspective, survival can be more or less directly influenced by the social environment, with group members potentially representing either a threat or a buffer against external stressors.

Genetic Architecture of Immune Cell DNA Methylation in the Rhesus Macaque
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.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 ...

Range‐Wide Assessment of the Tasmanian Devil Gut Microbiome
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We conducted a comprehensive assessment of gut microbiomes at 10 locations across Tasmania, utilizing molecular methods such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and diet metabarcoding to investigate the influences of diet, location, sex, and age. Contrary to the prevailing notion that diet is a main driver of gut microbiome differences, we found that ...
