Population genetics of mouse lemur vomeronasal receptors: current versus past selection and demographic inference. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2017 BACKGROUND: A major effort is underway to use population genetic approaches to identify loci involved in adaptation. One issue that has so far received limited attention is whether loci that show a phylogenetic signal of positive selection in the past ...

In vivo self-renewal and expansion of quiescent stem cells from a non-human primate [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe development of non-human primate models is essential for the fields of developmental and regenerative biology because those models will more closely approximate human biology than do murine models.

Seasonality in Gum and Honeydew Feeding in Gray Mouse Lemurs [PDF]
, 2010 Exudates represent an important component of the natural diets of small-bodied primates. For mouse lemurs, the impact of forest type and seasonal predictability on gum consumption has recently been intensively investigated. The goal of our study was to extend our knowledge regarding the seasonality of feeding ecology of Microcebus murinus, first, to ...

Caloric restriction increases lifespan but affects brain integrity in grey mouse lemur primates. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2018 The health benefits of chronic caloric restriction resulting in lifespan extension are well established in many short-lived species, but the effects in humans and other primates remain controversial. Here we report the most advanced survival data and the

Comparative Histology of the Cornea and Palisades of Vogt in Various Non-Human Primates [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesThe cornea is essential for proper ocular function, yet its histological structure varies considerably among animal species. Of particular importance are the palisades of Vogt in the limbal region, as they serve as a niche for limbal epithelial stem ...
