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 ...

SAMHD1: a new insight into HIV-1 restriction in myeloid cells
Retrovirology, 2011 Human myeloid-lineage cells are refractory to HIV-1 infection. The Vpx proteins from HIV-2 and sooty mangabey SIV render these cells permissive to HIV-1 infection through proteasomal degradation of a putative restriction factor.

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 ...

Ocean control of the breeding regime of the sooty tern in the southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2007 Food availability, which is often seasonal, is regarded as a key factor in the breeding success of seabirds. In oceanic tropical areas, the resources are mostly patchy and ephemeral at the surface, and the seasonality is less marked than at higher ...

Formation of mobile chromatin-associated nuclear foci containing HIV-1 Vpr and VPRBP is critical for the induction of G2 cell cycle arrest. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 HIV-1 Viral protein R (Vpr) induces a cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase by activating the ATR DNA damage/stress checkpoint. Recently, we and several other groups showed that Vpr performs this activity by recruiting the DDB1-CUL4A (VPRBP) E3 ubiquitin ...

Mycobacterium leprae genomes from naturally infected nonhuman primates.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Leprosy is caused by the bacterial pathogens Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Apart from humans, animals such as nine-banded armadillos in the Americas and red squirrels in the British Isles are naturally infected with M.

The Evolution of Food Calls: Vocal Behaviour of Sooty Mangabeys in the Presence of Food
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 The two main theories of food-associated calls in animals propose functions either in cooperative recruitment or competitive spacing. However, not all social animals produce food calls and it is largely unclear under what circumstances this call type evolves.

HIV Types, Groups, Subtypes and Recombinant Forms: Errors in Replication, Selection Pressure and Quasispecies [PDF]
, 2012 HIV-1 is a chimpanzee virus which was transmitted to humans by several zoonotic events resulting in infection with HIV-1 groups M P, and in parallel transmission events from sooty mangabey monkey viruses leading to infections with HIV-2 groups A H.

Abnormal behaviour in captive sooty mangabeys
Animal Welfare, 2014 AbstractThe influence of several factors on abnormal behaviour was investigated in 46 singly housed sooty mangabeys(Cercocebus atys)(eight nursery-reared, 38 mother-reared), including self-injurious, self-directed, stereotypic locomotion, and faeces/urine-related behaviours (SIB, SDB, SL, FUR, respectively).
