Animal medical systems from Apis to apes: history, recent advances and future perspectives
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2608-2624, December 2025.ABSTRACTAnimal medical systems encompass a wide range of behaviours aimed at maintaining or improving health. It has become clear that these behaviours are not limited to animals treating themselves (self‐medication) but also include the treatment of group members, resulting in the adoption of the more inclusive term “animal medication”. Behaviour with

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 54, Issue 6, December 2025.ABSTRACT Leptospirosis is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp., affecting a wide range of domestic and wild mammals including nonhuman primates (NHPs). Despite rising incidence rates in both NHPs and humans, there is a lack of comprehensive resources addressing leptospirosis in NHPs from a veterinary perspective in a One ...

Spatial and temporal determinants of samango monkey (Cercopithecus mitis erythrarchus) resource acquisition and predation avoidance behaviour [PDF]
, 2013 Food acquisition and predator avoidance are principal components of the survival strategies of all primates. However, for primates, maximising food acquisition whilst minimising predation risk is often impossible.

Anatomical aspect of the hard palate of the Cebus apella (Linnaeus, 1766) primates
Biotemas, 2008 Fourteen hard palates of neotropical primates were studied (Cebus apella), fixed on formaldehyde (10%) and preserved in ethylic alcohol (70%), collected according to the International Bioethics Committee. The animals were supplied by the Medicine College Veterinary Medicine and Zootecnica of the University of São Paulo in 1994. They originated from the

Does Knowledge of the Partner's Need Affect Food Sharing in Tufted Capuchin Monkeys?
American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 10, October 2025.Capuchin monkeys were given the possibility to share food after having or not having seen a partner eat. Neither having seen the partner eat nor the quality of the food eaten by the partner had any effect on the monkeys' willingness to share part of their food.

Look past the cooperative eye hypothesis: reconsidering the evolution of human eye appearance
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2038-2054, October 2025.ABSTRACT The external appearance of the human eye has been prominently linked to the evolution of complex sociocognitive functions in our species. The cooperative eye hypothesis (CEH) proposes that human eyeballs, with their weakly expressed conjunctival and scleral pigmentation, are uniquely conspicuous and evolved under selective pressures to behave ...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization to chromosomes as a tool to understand human and primate genome evolution [PDF]
, 2005 For the last 15 years molecular cytogenetic techniques have been extensively used to study primate evolution. Molecular probes were helpful to distinguish mammalian chromosomes and chromosome segments on the basis of their DNA content rather than solely ...
