Food competition in captive female sooty mangabeys ( Cercocebus torquatus atys )
We studied the social and foraging behavior of two captive groups of sooty mangabeys under two different spatial food situations. These food conditions were clumped (food was placed in a box) and dispersed (food was dispersed over the entire enclosure). In each group five adult females and two adult males were observed.

Reciprocal Signaling During Approaches Relates to Close Relationships Within and Between Two Primate Species [PDF]
Signaling can facilitate coordination and cooperation, aiding relationship formation and maintenance across social animals. Reciprocal signaling may reflect equitable social motivation, thereby supporting coordination and bonding, especially in social ...

Resistance to simian immunodeficiency virus low dose rectal challenge is associated with higher constitutive TRIM5α expression in PBMC [PDF]
Background: At least six host-encoded restriction factors (RFs), APOBEC3G, TRIM5α, tetherin, SAMHD1, schlafen 11, and Mx2 have now been shown to inhibit HIV and/or SIV replication in vitro. To determine their role in vivo in the resistance of macaques to

New Middle Pleistocene Hominin Dental Remains From Velika Balanica, Serbia
ABSTRACT Objective The cave site of Velika Balanica in Sićevo Gorge, Serbia, has previously yielded early Neanderthal dental remains from Layer 3a, dated by thermoluminescence to 285 ± 34 and 295 ± 74 ka. We describe and compare four additional dental specimens recovered from the Middle Pleistocene Layers 3a and 3b of the cave: a right I1 (BH‐8), a ...

ABSTRACT In stark contrast to our own highly plastic communicative abilities, nonhuman primate vocalizations were historically considered fixed and innate, with very little ability to learn or modify vocal signals. However, recent studies indicate that primate vocalizations do show evidence of developmental plasticity, most notably in their context and

Coreceptor use in nonhuman primate models of HIV infection [PDF]
SIV or SHIV infection of nonhuman primates (NHP) has been used to investigate the impact of coreceptor usage on the composition and dynamics of the CD4+ T cell compartment, mechanisms of disease induction and development of clinical syndrome.

Same data, different results? Machine learning approaches in bioacoustics
Abstract Automated acoustic analysis is increasingly used in behavioural ecology, and determining caller identity is a key element for many investigations. However, variability in feature extraction and classification methods limits the comparability of results across species and studies, constraining conclusions we can draw about the ecology and ...

Species-specific activity of SIV Nef and HIV-1 Vpu in overcoming restriction by tetherin/BST2.
Tetherin, also known as BST2, CD317 or HM1.24, was recently identified as an interferon-inducible host-cell factor that interferes with the detachment of virus particles from infected cells.
