Neural mechanisms of economic choices in mice [PDF]
, 2020 Economic choices entail computing and comparing subjective values. Evidence from primates indicates that this behavior relies on the orbitofrontal cortex. Conversely, previous work in rodents provided conflicting results. Here we present a mouse model of

Current Biology, 2012 SummaryHomo sapiens is just one of some 400 extant species allocated to the mammalian order Primates, originally proposed by Linnaeus in the mid-18th Century. As George Gaylord Simpson tartly noted in his seminal 1945 classification of the class Mammalia: “The primates are inevitably the most interesting of mammals to an egocentric species that belongs

Sleeping site sharing between Aotus griseimembra (Mammalia, Primates) and Coendou quichua (Mammalia, Rodentia) in a lowland inter-Andean valley in Colombia [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and ConservationTree cavities used as sleeping sites are a limited resource for arboreal mammals. The shared use of arboreal cavities as sleeping sites between Neotropical mammals is rarely observed and has been little studied.

High social status males experience accelerated epigenetic aging in wild baboons
eLife, 2021 Aging, for virtually all life, is inescapable. However, within populations, biological aging rates vary. Understanding sources of variation in this process is central to understanding the biodemography of natural populations.

Impending extinction crisis of the world’s primates: Why primates matter
Science Advances, 2017 Impending extinction of the world’s primates due to human activities; immediate global attention is needed to reverse the trend. Nonhuman primates, our closest biological relatives, play important roles in the livelihoods, cultures, and religions of many

The psychology of gestures and gesture-like movements in non-human primates [PDF]
, 2014 Research into gestural communication of nonhuman primates is often inspired by an interest in the evolutionary roots of human language. The focus on intentionally used behaviors is central to this approach that aims at investigating the cognitive ...

Predictors of orbital convergence in primates: A test of the snake detection hypothesis of primate evolution [PDF]
, 2011 Traditional explanations for the evolution of high orbital convergence and stereoscopic vision in primates have focused on how stereopsis might have aided early primates in foraging or locomoting in an arboreal environment. It has recently been suggested
