Fruit Availability and Maternal Energy Expenditure Associated With Infant Independence in an Arboreal Primate (Colobus angolensis ruwenzorii). [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Infant being handled by mother. ABSTRACT A range of ecological and social factors have been shown to affect early‐life behaviour in mammals. Primate infants are altricial and thus unable to move independently at birth. As a result, infants in some species are continuously held or carried (handled) by their mother or another caregiver (allomother ...

Feeding adaptation of François' langurs (Trachypithecus francoisi) to the fragmented limestone habitats in Southwest China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
François' langurs in Encheng National Nature Reserve ate a higher number of food species in Encheng when compared with the other geographic populations, and they maintained a high level of food diversity and ate more vines. Moreover, they were highly selective in their use of vegetation in their home range.

Seasonal Variations in Habitat Use are Associated With Food Availability Changes in Assamese Macaques (Macaca assamensis) Inhabiting Limestone Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We conclude that the dietary composition, day length, flower availability, and fruit availability are determinants of habitat utilization for Assamese macaques, highlighting the importance of ecological factors in shaping their behavioral adaptation to the unique limestone forests.

Mitogenomes of museum specimens provide new insight into species classification and recently reduced diversity of highly endangered Nomascus gibbons. [PDF]

Integr Zool
Our findings reveal that the western black crested gibbon (Nomascus concolor) did not divide into different subspecies, and the relatively low level of genetic diversity emphasizes the importance of monitoring this indicator for vulnerable wildlife.

Genomics of Hybridization and Adaptation in Primates [PDF]

, 2023
In chapter 1, we used high coverage (30X) whole genome sequences from 225 wild baboons (genus Papio) representing 19 geographic localities to investigate population genomics and inter-species gene flow.

Surviving at the highest and coldest: Nutritional and chemical components of fallback foods for Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A family of Yunnan snub‐nose monkeys is enjoying their fallback food, lichen. Abstract Fallback foods (FBF), categorized into staple and filler types, are suboptimal food sources chosen by animals in response to a scarcity of preferred food items during specific periods. Using lichens as FBF by Yunnan snub‐nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus bieti) represents

Of apples and oranges? The evolution of “monogamy” in non-human primates [PDF]

, 2020
Behavioral ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and anthropologists have been long fascinated by the existence of “monogamy” in the animal kingdom.

A global catalog of whole-genome diversity from 233 primate species. [PDF]

Science, 2023
The rich diversity of morphology and behavior displayed across primate species provides an informative context in which to study the impact of genomic diversity on fundamental biological processes.

Climate change and human activities promoted speciation of two endangered langurs (François' langur and white-headed langur)

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Climate oscillations may drive the divergence of ancestral species through climatic suitability isolation, effective population contraction, and the cessation of gene flow.

Behavioral adjustments of endangered Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus) living at the edge of an agricultural landscape in Morocco

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Relationships between anthropogenic disturbances and Barbary macaques' diets and activity budgets. Abstract Transition zones between natural and human‐altered spaces are eroding in most terrestrial ecosystems. The persistence of animals in shared landscapes depends in part on their behavioral flexibility, which may involve being able to exploit human ...
