Male mate choice in Tibetan macaques Macaca thibetana at Mt. Huangshan, China
Current Zoology, 2010 Though females are generally more selective in mate choice, males may also benefit from mate choice if male reproductive success is limited by factors other than simply the number of female mates, and if females differ in short-term reproductive ...

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 ...

MacaqueNet: Advancing comparative behavioural research through large‐scale collaboration
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 519-534, April 2025.We present MacaqueNet, a global community of macaque researchers who developed the first publicly searchable, standardised database on affiliative and agonistic behaviour. This cross‐species database facilitates comparative research into the eco‐evolutionary drivers of animal behaviour. We describe its management and share its resources as a replicable

Allometry and phylogenetic divergence: Correspondence or incongruence?
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 3, Page 868-891, March 2025.Abstract The potential connection between trends of within species variation, such as those of allometric change in morphology, and phylogenetic divergence has been a central topic in evolutionary biology for more than a century, including in the context of human evolution. In this study, I focus on size‐related shape change in craniofacial proportions

Consistent Individual Differences Drive Collective Movements in a Tibetan Macaque Group
AnimalsCollective movement has emerged as a key area of interest in animal behavior. While individual differences are often viewed as a potential threat to group cohesion, growing evidence suggests that these differences can actually influence an animal’s ...

Global Ecology and ConservationSocial animals frequently exhibit huddling sleep behaviors in response to nocturnal ecological pressures. However, there remain significant gaps in our understanding of the decision-making process promoting huddle sleep.
