Functional relevance of the precuneus in verbal politeness. [PDF]

, 2015
Non-competitive and non-threatening aspects of social hierarchy, such as politeness, are universal among human cultures, and might have evolved from ritualized submission in primates; however, these behaviors have rarely been studied.

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

The mycobiota of faeces from the critically endangered kākāpō and associated nest litter

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 171-192, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The critically endangered kākāpō is a flightless, nocturnal parrot endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand. During the 2019 breeding season multiple kākāpō on Whenua Hou, an island with one of the largest kākāpō populations, contracted the respiratory fungal disease aspergillosis.

Mixed fortunes: ancient expansion and recent decline in population size of a subtropical montane primate, the Arunachal macaque Macaca munzala.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Quaternary glacial oscillations are known to have caused population size fluctuations in many temperate species. Species from subtropical and tropical regions are, however, considerably less studied, despite representing most of the biodiversity hotspots

Slip of the tongue: implications for evolution and language development [PDF]

, 2015
prevailing theory regarding the evolution of language implicates a gestural stage prior to the emergence of speech. In support of a transition of human language from a gestural to a vocal system, articulation of the hands and the tongue are underpinned ...

Range‐Wide Assessment of the Tasmanian Devil Gut Microbiome

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
We conducted a comprehensive assessment of gut microbiomes at 10 locations across Tasmania, utilizing molecular methods such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and diet metabarcoding to investigate the influences of diet, location, sex, and age. Contrary to the prevailing notion that diet is a main driver of gut microbiome differences, we found that ...

Social and Life History Strategies of Tibetan Macaques at Mt. Huangshan [PDF]

, 2019
Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana) are just beginning to be known in primatology, but some unique aspects of their morphology, ecology, behavior, and phylogeny indicate that they can play an important role in comparative studies of macaques. Here, we present a summary of their social and life history strategies based on continuous observation over ...

Alien range size, habitat breadth, origin location, and domestication of alien species matter to their impact risks

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 520-534, May 2025.
We collected information on 1071 established alien terrestrial vertebrate species (mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians) and created a comprehensive database of 108 alien species to assess their impact risks and examined the generality of relationships between the impact risks and species characteristics.

Interchange between grooming and infant handling in female Tibetan macaques (Macaca thibetana).

Zoological research, 2018
In some nonhuman primates, infants function as a social tool that can bridge relationships among group members. Infants are a desired commodity for group members, and mothers control access to them. The biological market theory suggests that grooming is widespread and represents a commodity that can be exchanged for infant handling.
