The evolution and biological correlates of hand preferences in anthropoid primates
eLife, 2022 The evolution of human right-handedness has been intensively debated for decades. Manual lateralization patterns in non-human primates have the potential to elucidate evolutionary determinants of human handedness, but restricted species samples and ...

Taxonomic review of Saguinus mystax (Spix, 1823) (Primates, Callitrichidae), and description of a new species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Although the Amazon has the greatest diversity of primates, there are still taxonomic uncertainties for many taxa, such as the species of the Saguinus mystax group.

The Evolution of Primate Short-Term Memory [PDF]
Animal Behavior and Cognition, 2022 Short-term memory is implicated in a range of cognitive abilities and is critical for understanding primate cognitive evolution. To investigate the effects of phylogeny, ecology and sociality on short-term memory, we tested the largest and most diverse ...

Neotropical primate evolution and phylogenetic reconstruction using chromosomal data
The European Zoological Journal, 2017 Platyrrhini are a group of Neotropical primates living in central and south America, and have been extensively studied through morphological and molecular data in order to shed light on their phylogeny and evolution.

Contribution à l’étude de la mobilité de l’hallux et de la phylogénie des primates actuels
Revue de Primatologie, 2015 Material and methods: 51 anatomical specimens of non-human primates were dissected (18 embalmed, 33 fresh). The amplitudes of the medial cuneometatarsal and metatarsophalangeal articulations of the first ray of the foot of the various fresh pieces and ...

Origin and Deep Evolution of Human Endogenous Retroviruses in Pan-Primates
Viruses, 2022 Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are viral “fossils” in the human genome that originated from the ancient integration of exogenous retroviruses. Although HERVs have sporadically been reported in nonhuman primate genomes, their deep origination in ...

Identification and diversity of killer cell Ig-like receptors in Aotus vociferans, a New World monkey. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Previous BAC clone analysis of the Platyrrhini owl monkey KIRs have shown an unusual genetic structure in some loci. Therefore, cDNAs encoding KIR molecules from eleven Aotus vociferans monkeys were characterized here; ten putative KIR loci were found ...
