Tooth chipping patterns and dental caries suggest a soft fruit diet in early anthropoids
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 183, Issue 2, February 2024.Tooth fractures in early primates. Abstract Objectives Fossils from the Fayum Depression, Egypt, are crucial for understanding anthropoid evolution due to the abundance of taxa and the time interval they represent (late Eocene to early Oligocene). Dietary and foraging behavioral interpretations suggest fruits were their dominant food source, although ...

Genetic diversity in the env V1-V2 region of proviral quasispecies from long-term controller MHC-typed cynomolgus macaques infected with SHIVSF162P4cy [PDF]
, 2018 Intra-host evolution of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) has been shown by viral RNA analysis in subjects who naturally suppress plasma viremia to low levels, known as controllers.

Intact Type I Interferon Production and IRF7 Function in Sooty Mangabeys
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 In contrast to pathogenic HIV/SIV infections of humans and rhesus macaques (RMs), natural SIV infection of sooty mangabeys (SMs) is typically non-pathogenic despite high viremia. Several studies suggested that low immune activation and relative resistance of CD4+ central memory T-cells from virus infection are mechanisms that protect SMs from AIDS.

, 2022 Primates understand the meaning of alarm calls of their own and other species, but not much is known about how they acquire such knowledge. Rapid acquisition may be particularly important for younger individuals that incur higher predation risks and lack experience in dealing with predators.
