Impaired control of body cooling during heterothermia represents the major energetic constraint in an aging non-human primate exposed to cold. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Daily heterothermia is used by small mammals for energy and water savings, and seems to be preferentially exhibited during winter rather than during summer.

Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 371-384, March 2026.Abstract Most research programs recruit students with high grades, previous lab experience, and strong supervisor recommendations. However, these requirements can bar students from historically marginalized backgrounds from gaining these kinds of valuable experiences, thus contributing to the well documented limited diversity in science, technology ...

Microbial Contributions to Primate Reproduction
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Reproduction is a complex process, and microbes play a far greater role than previously imagined. This review explores the ways that microbiomes influence the rich tapestry of reproductive processes and outcomes within the primate lineage, including pre‐copulatory and post‐copulatory mechanisms.

The spectral transmission of ocular media suggests ultraviolet sensitivity is widespread among mammals [PDF]
, 2014 Although ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity is widespread among animals it is considered rare in mammals, being restricted to the few species that have a visual pigment maximally sensitive (λmax) below 400 nm.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 5, Page 1459-1477, March 2026.Ataxin‐1 is a polyglutamine protein associated with the etiology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) that has been recently found implicated in the risk of developing the autoimmune disorder multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we took a conditional knockout approach to ablate ataxin‐1 exclusively in the B‐cell compartment and we found that this protein ...
