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.

Novel insights into the genetic diversity of Balantidium and Balantidium-like cyst-forming ciliates [PDF]
, 2013 Balantidiasis is considered a neglected zoonotic disease with pigs serving as reservoir hosts. However, Balantidium coli has been recorded in many other mammalian species, including primates. Here, we evaluated the genetic diversity of B.

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

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

Comparative metabolomics in primates reveals the effects of diet and gene regulatory variation on metabolic divergence. [PDF]
, 2014 Human diets differ from those of non-human primates. Among few obvious differences, humans consume more meat than most non-human primates and regularly cook their food.

Accelerated Evolution of the ASPM Gene Controlling Brain Size Begins Prior to Human Brain Expansion [PDF]
, 2004 Primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global reduction in cerebral cortical volume. The microcephalic brain has a volume comparable to that of early hominids, raising the possibility that some MCPH genes may have ...
