Assessing the Influence of Environmental Sources on the Gut Mycobiome of Tibetan Macaques
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The distribution and availability of microbes in the environment has an important effect on the composition of the gut microbiome of wild vertebrates. However, our current knowledge of gut-environmental interactions is based principally on data from the ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.
