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 ...

ABSTRACT Primate foraging behaviors are influenced by a variety of factors including the physical and mechanical properties of food items. Golden monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis kandti) inhabiting Volcanoes National Park (VNP), Rwanda, rely heavily on mechanically challenging bamboo shoots and bamboo leaves for the bulk of their diet. We examined the oral

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.

Land Use Change and Infectious Disease Emergence
Abstract Major infectious diseases threatening human health are transmitted to people from animals or by arthropod vectors such as insects. In recent decades, disease outbreaks have become more common, especially in tropical regions, including new and emerging infections that were previously undetected or unknown. Even though there is growing awareness

Lack of clinical AIDS in SIV-infected sooty mangabeys with significant CD4+ T cell loss is associated with double-negative T cells [PDF]
SIV infection of natural host species such as sooty mangabeys results in high viral replication without clinical signs of simian AIDS. Studying such infections is useful for identifying immunologic parameters that lead to AIDS in HIV-infected patients ...

ABSTRACT Objectives Sharing micro‐computed tomographic (μCT) scans of teeth increases data accessibility and reduces the need for repeated scans of any given specimen. However, the use of the same TIFF stacks or DICOMs by multiple individuals has the potential to introduce new sources of error.

Picking pithy plants: Pith selectivity by wild white‐faced capuchin monkeys, Cebus imitator
“When and why do white‐faced capuchins eat plant pith? We investigated how ecological variables and plant traits shape patterns of pith consumption. We find that pith foraging occurs primarily during seasonal transitions, and that dietary pith species contain relatively more pith, are softer, and have a different odor profile than non‐dietary species.“

Distinct patterns of CCR5 versus alternative coreceptor dependence in non-natural host versus natural host simmian immunodeficiency virus infection [PDF]
Natural host sooty mangabeys infected with simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIV) exhibit high plasma viral loads without widespread CD4+ T cell loss.

Transactivation of IFNA4 promoter and nuclear localization by Sooty Mangabey IRF7.
(A) HEK293 cells were transfected with the luciferase reporter plasmid containing the human IFNA4 promoter, TBK1 and IRF7 constructs from human, rhesus, and sooty mangabeys, or vehicle, as indicated.
