Spatiotemporal and Host Variations in Faecal Microbiomes of Hairy‐Nosed Wombats (Lasiorhinus spp.)
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.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 ...

Positional Behavior and Substrate Use in Wild Tibetan Macaques
Animals, 2022 Body size and individual development significantly affect positional behavior and substrate use. However, only a few studies have been conducted on immature wild macaques. We studied wild Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) inhabiting Mt.

Evidence of Vocal Gradation in the Vocal Repertoire of Wild Moor Macaques (Macaca maura)
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 3, March 2026.Social‐tolerant wild moor macaques produce graded vocalizations. ABSTRACT Nonhuman primates constitute an ideal model to study the evolutionary origins of human language, because of their close phylogenetic distance to humans and their reliance on complex communication systems that include different signal types.

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.

Mitochondrial Genome and Nuclear Markers Provide New Insight into the Evolutionary History of Macaques. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The evolutionary history of macaques, genus Macaca, has been under debate due to the short times of divergence. In this study, maternal, paternal, and biparental genetic systems were applied to infer phylogenetic relationships among macaques and to trace

Behavioral Contagion in Wild Ecuadorian White‐Fronted Capuchins (Cebus aequatorialis)
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 1, January 2026.White‐fronted capuchins exhibit scratching contagion, but neither the characteristics of the trigger, or of the partner's (sex, age class, or centrality), or of the dyad (combination of sex, combination of age class, or social bond) seem to modulate the likelihood of contagion.

The prospect of rising in rank is key to long-term stability in Tibetan macaque society
Scientific Reports, 2017 One of the most fundamental questions in behavioural biology is why societies can persist for a long period of time. While researchers in animal behaviour have been hindered by a lack of an aggregate measure (such as social mobility) to quantify the ...
