The body inversion effect in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Bodies are important social cues for animals. Body recognition in humans is deteriorated by inversion. This inversion effect suggests the configural processing of bodies, which is different from the processing used for other objects.

Subspecies identification of Chimpanzees Pan troglodytes (Primates: Hominidae) from the National Zoo of the Metropolitan Park of Santiago, Chile, using mitochondrial DNA sequences

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2014
Natural populations of Chimpanzees Pan troglodytes are declining because of hunting and illegal live animal trafficking. Four subspecies of Chimpanzee have been reported: Pan troglodytes troglodytes, P.t. schweinfurthii, P.t. verus and P.t.

Fatal amoebic meningoencephalitis caused by <i>Balamuthia mandrillaris</i> in <i>Pongo pygmaeus</i> and first case report in <i>Pan troglodytes verus</i>. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
Balamuthia mandrillaris is an amoeba that can cause granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) as well as lung and skin infections in both humans and animals. Studies on B. mandrillaris-related GAE cases have increased in recent years. This amoeba has been

On the diversity of malaria parasites in African apes and the origin of Plasmodium falciparum from Bonobos.

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
The origin of Plasmodium falciparum, the etiological agent of the most dangerous forms of human malaria, remains controversial. Although investigations of homologous parasites in African Apes are crucial to resolve this issue, studies have been ...

Des chimpanzés sauvages (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) exploitent des tortues (Kinixys erosa) via une technique percussive

Revue de Primatologie, 2020
Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), one of humankinds’ closest living relatives, are known to hunt and consume the meat of various animal taxa. Although some researchers have presented indirect evidence that chimpanzees may also prey on tortoises, until now ...

European multicentre study on outcome of surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Some 5861 patients undergoing first‐time surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism were registered in the Eurocrine® database between 2015 and 2018. The use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement decreased the risk of conversion and persistent hypercalcaemia.

Deciphering conserved identical sequences of mature miRNAs among six members of great apes

Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2018
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small RNA molecules which act as negative regulators of gene expression by controlling post-transcriptional regulation through binding to their corresponding mRNAs.

Un cas d’accouchement en occipito-pubien chez Pan troglodytes

Revue de Primatologie, 2020
The birthing process in modern humans is supposed to be different from non-human primate birth. In humans the foetal head exits the birth canal mostly in occiput anterior position and the pregnant woman frequently seeks assistance.

Lethal coalitionary attacks of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) on gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) in the wild

Scientific Reports, 2021
Intraspecies violence, including lethal interactions, is a relatively common phenomenon in mammals. Contrarily, interspecies violence has mainly been investigated in the context of predation and received most research attention in carnivores.

Adult sex ratio as an index for male strategy in primates [PDF]

Theoretical Population Biology 126: 40-50 (2019), 2019
The adult sex ratio (ASR) is defined as the number of fertile males divided by the number of fertile females in a population. We build an ODE model with minimal age structure, in which males compete for paternities using either a multiple-mating or searching-then-guarding strategy, to investigate the value of ASR as an index for predicting which ...
