Call combination order and iterations may shift meaning in sooty mangabey vocal sequences [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Human language expands meaning through the structured combination of sounds, but such mechanisms remain rare in nonhuman animals, raising questions about their evolution.

Spectral sensitivity of the Sooty mangabey [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1967 Purkinje shift and scotopic and photopic spectral sensitivity functions were determined for four Sooty mangabeys and five human controls using a flicker technique in a four-choice discrete trials task. Results-indicate a Purkinje shift similar in magnitude and frequency locus to that of human controls. Scotopic spectral sensitivity was almost identical

Coexpression Network Analysis of Benign and Malignant Phenotypes of SIV-Infected Sooty Mangabey and Rhesus Macaque. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 To explore the differences between the extreme SIV infection phenotypes, nonprogression (BEN: benign) to AIDS in sooty mangabeys (SMs) and progression to AIDS (MAL: malignant) in rhesus macaques (RMs), we performed an integrated dual positive-negative ...

How mangabey molar form differs under routine vs. fallback hard-object feeding regimes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Components of diet known as fallback foods are argued to be critical in shaping primate dental anatomy. Such foods of low(er) nutritional quality are often non-preferred, mechanically challenging resources that species resort to during ...

Jaw-Muscle Structure and Function in Primates: Insights Into Muscle Performance and Feeding-System Behaviors. [PDF]
Evol AnthropolABSTRACT The jaw‐adductor muscles drive the movements and forces associated with primate feeding behaviors such as biting and chewing as well as social signaling behaviors such as wide‐mouth canine display. The past several decades have seen a rise in research aimed at the anatomy and physiology of primate chewing muscles to better understand the ...

Imaging and Pathological Comprehensive Analysis of Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Rhesus Monkey (Macaca mulatta). [PDF]
Vet Med SciThis report described a rhesus monkey with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In the study, the diagnostic methods including clinical examination, imaging and pathological comprehensive analysis were described. Gastroscope examination and CT scan showed oesophagus obstruction; HE staining revealed oesophageal tumour composed of nests of ...

Rule-based sequences in sooty mangabey vocal communication
Abstract Investigating how non-human animals produce call sequences provides key insights into the evolutionary origins of meaning in vocal communication, including syntax. Many species combine calls into structured sequences, often following specific rules, yet most studies focus on only a few sequences per species.

Classic AIDS in a sooty mangabey after an 18-year natural infection. [PDF]
J Virol, 2004 ABSTRACTPrevailing theory holds that simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infections are nonpathogenic in their natural simian hosts and that lifelong infections persist without disease. Numerous studies have reported that SIV-infected sooty mangabeys (SMs;Cercocebus atys) remain disease free for up to 24 years despite relatively high levels of viral ...

APOBEC3G Polymorphism as a Selective Barrier to Cross-Species Transmission and Emergence of Pathogenic SIV and AIDS in a Primate Host [PDF]
, 2013 Cellular restriction factors, which render cells intrinsically resistant to viruses, potentially impose genetic barriers to cross-species transmission and emergence of viral pathogens in nature. One such factor is APOBEC3G.
