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

Encapsulated Leptin-Producing Cells Facilitate Entrainment of Circadian Rhythms in Rodents and Nonhuman Primates. [PDF]
A clinically translatable cell line can be engineered to produce leptin, encapsulated in biomaterial and safely implanted to produce and deliver the metabolic regulating protein within the body. Implantation of these encapsulated cells decreases the time it takes for mice and non‐human primates to adjust to circadian disruptions similar to those ...

Rates of agonism among female primates: a cross-taxon perspective [PDF]
Agonism is common in group-living animals, shaping dominance relationships and ultimately impacting individual tness. Rates of agonism vary considerably among taxa, however, and explaining this variation has been central in ecological models of female ...

Morphology of the walls of the cavernous sinus of Cebus apella (tufted capuchin monkey) [PDF]
The morphology of the dura mater and its relationship with the structures of the cavernous sinus were analyzed in five tufted capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella) using histological sections, showing that the walls of the cavernous sinus of this species are ...

Objectives Natural history collections are often thought to represent environments in a pristine natural state—free from human intervention—the so‐called “wild.” In this study, we aim to assess the level of human influence represented by natural history ...

THE BEGINNINGS OF PRIMATES [PDF]
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.

Removal of the monosynaptic corticospinal pathway (CSP) terminating within the forelimb segments severely impairs manual dexterity. Functional recovery from the monosynaptic CSP lesion can be achieved through the remaining multisynaptic CSP toward the ...
