Long-Term Spatial Restriction Generates Deferred Limited Space Use in a Zoo-Housed Chimpanzee Group
Animals, 2022 Background: Appropriate space is considered paramount for good captive animal welfare. There has been a concerted effort by captive institutions, particularly zoos, to provide captive animals with relatively large, naturalistic enclosures which havehad ...

Species-Specific miRNAs in Human Brain Development and Disease
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Identification of the unique features of human brain development and function can be critical towards the elucidation of intricate processes such as higher cognitive functions and human-specific pathologies like neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders.

Quantitative uniqueness of human brain evolution revealed through phylogenetic comparative analysis
eLife, 2019 While the human brain is clearly large relative to body size, less is known about the timing of brain and brain component expansion within primates and the relative magnitude of volumetric increases.

Primate neuronal connections are sparse in cortex as compared to mouse
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Detailing how primate and mouse neurons differ is critical for creating generalized models of how neurons process information. We reconstruct 15,748 synapses in adult Rhesus macaques and mice and ask how connectivity differs on identified cell ...

Radioimmunoassay of human plasma Lp(a) lipoprotein
Journal of Lipid Research, 1977 A quantitative immunodiffusion assay demonstrated Lp(a) lipoprotein in 91% (911 of 1000) of subjects. In order to quantitate Lp(a) in all plasma, a sensitive and specific double antibody radioimmunoassay was developed.

Le jeu des illusions : discrimination entre apparence et réalité chez les primates
Revue de Primatologie, 2020 Perception is an essential process to gather information about our physical and social environment, and thus to adjust our behaviour to environmental changes. However, we are confronted every day with ambiguous situations in which things appear different

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens, 2021 Environmental enrichment is widely used to improve the quality of life of animals under human care. To successfully implement enrichment programs, it is important to evaluate their effect in different enclosure types since housing conditions may change ...

ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS ON THE REPRODUCTION OF NON-HUMAN PRIMATES
Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 2021 The aim of this review paper is to present some aspects of environmental stress, such as climate change and food limitation that could affect nonhuman primate population due to poor reproductive performance.

THE BEGINNINGS OF PRIMATES [PDF]
Evolution, 1968 When and from what mammalian group did primates originate? This question cannot yet be answered as accurately as students of Cretaceous and early Tertiary mammals would like. Although the evidence is still fragmentary and meager, however, the beginnings of primate radiation and their origin can be relatively well recognized.
