From sharing food to sharing information: Cooperative breeding and language evolution [PDF]
, 2018 Language is a cognitively demanding human trait, but it is also a fundamentally cooperative enterprise that rests on the motivation to share information. Great apes possess many of the cognitive prerequisites for language, but largely lack the motivation

The effect of colour vision status on the detection and selection of fruits by tamarins (Saguinus spp.) [PDF]
, 2003 The evolution of trichromatic colour vision by the majority of anthropoid primates has been linked to the efficient detection and selection of food, particularly ripe fruits among leaves in dappled light.

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 4, Page 386-397, December 2025.We investigated communication in the bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus), which is distinctive for depositing its cube‐shaped scats in latrines. We found that bare‐nosed wombats possess a vomeronasal organ for olfactory signal reception, associate their latrines with features in their landscape (particularly rocks, logs, and burrow entrances), have ...

Evolutionary ecology of opsin gene sequence, expression and repertoire. [PDF]
, 2017 Linking molecular evolution to biological function is a long-standing challenge in evolutionary biology. Some of the best examples of this involve opsins, the genes that encode the molecular basis of light reception.

A Prion‐Like Domain in EBV EBNA1 Promotes Phase Separation and Enables SRRM1 Splicing
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 41, November 6, 2025.This study discoveries that EBV EBNA1 behaves as a prion‐like protein, verified using cell‐based assays and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sup35p prion identification system. The prion‐like domain of EBNA1 drives liquid–liquid phase separation. EBNA1 interacts with the splicing factor SRSF1 to regulate the expression of the SRRM1 splicing isoforms ...

Primate phylogeny: molecular evidence for a pongid clade excluding humans and a prosimian clade containing tarsiers [PDF]
, 2009 Interpretations of molecular data by the modern evolution theory are often sharply inconsistent with paleontological results. This is to be expected since the theory is only true for microevolution and yet fossil records are mostly about macroevolution.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.Our study investigated the microbiomes of suprapubic and sternal scent glands in two wild tamarin species to explore their putative roles in odor production and communication. Using metagenomic sequencing, we identified 18 odor‐associated microbial taxa and 26 related metabolic pathways, finding significant differences in microbial diversity and ...

Revista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2012 Saguinus leucopus es un primate endémico de Colombia considerado vulnerable, además, con la distribución geográfica más restringida entre Saguinus sp. Así mismo, es reconocido como reservorio natural de Trypanosoma cruzi, por compartir la distribución ...

Vector-borne transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi among captive Neotropical primates in a Brazilian zoo [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Neotropical primates are important sylvatic hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Infection is often subclinical, but severe disease has been described in both free-ranging and captive primates.
