The Evolution of Primate Societies - Chapter 3 [PDF]

, 2012
Compared with other primates, New World monkeys display relatively limited ecological variability. New World monkey anatomy and social systems, however, are extremely diverse.

Loss of olfactory receptor genes coincides with the acquisition of full trichromatic vision in primates.

PLoS Biology, 2004
Olfactory receptor (OR) genes constitute the molecular basis for the sense of smell and are encoded by the largest gene family in mammalian genomes. Previous studies suggested that the proportion of pseudogenes in the OR gene family is significantly ...

Plasma and hepatic apoE isoproteins of nonhuman primates. Differences in apoE among humans, apes, and New and Old World monkeys.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985
We have used two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) to study the plasma and hepatic apoE isoproteins of nonhuman primates and have compared them with their human counterparts.

Population dynamics of rhesus macaques and associated foamy virus in Bangladesh. [PDF]

, 2013
Foamy viruses are complex retroviruses that have been shown to be transmitted from nonhuman primates to humans. In Bangladesh, infection with simian foamy virus (SFV) is ubiquitous among rhesus macaques, which come into contact with humans in diverse ...

The genetics of New World monkey visual pigments. [PDF]

Psychology & Neuroscience, 2013
color vision, having at least two cone photopigment types with different spectral sensitivities present in distinct photoreceptors is necessary together with the neural circuitry necessary to extract color information. Visual pigments are highly conserved molecules, but differences can be found among vertebrate groups.

Functionally referential signals: a promising paradigm whose time has passed [PDF]

, 2012
Finding the evolutionary origins of human language in the communication systems of our closest living relatives has, for the last several decades, been a major goal of many in the field of animal communication generally and primate communication ...

Referential alarm calling behaviour in New World primates

Current Zoology, 2012
There is relatively good evidence that non-human primates can communicate about objects and events in their environment in ways that allow recipients to draw inferences about the nature of the event experienced by the signaller. In some species, there is

The Vomeronasal Organ of New World Monkeys (Platyrrhini) [PDF]

The Anatomical Record, 2011
AbstractAlthough all platyrrhine primates possess a vomeronasal organ (VNO), few species have been studied in detail. Here, we revisit the microanatomy of the VNO and related features in serially sectioned samples from 41 platyrrhine cadavers (14 species) of mixed age.

New World monkeys: distribution and origin of South American monkeys [PDF]

, 2018
Majmuni Novog svijeta (Platyrrhini) primati su koji žive u tropskim šumama Južne i Srednje Amerike. Od majmuna Starog svijeta (Catarrhini) razlikuju se anatomijom i načinom života. Smatra se da su se ove dvije linije majmuna odvojile prije oko 35 mil.

Selfish or altruistic? An analysis of alarm call function in wild capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella nigritus [PDF]

, 2008
Alarm calls facilitate some antipredatory benefits of group living but may endanger the caller by attracting the predator's attention. A number of hypotheses invoking kin selection and individual selection have been proposed to explain how such behaviour
