Primates in Peril: The world's 25 most endangered primates 2008-2010 [PDF]

, 2009
Introduction Here we report on the fifth iteration of the biennial listing of a consensus of 25 primate species considered to be amongst the most endangered worldwide and the most in need of urgent conservation measures. The first was drawn up in 2000 by

Climate and anthropogenic activities threaten two langur species irrespective of their range size

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Aim If species fail to track the pace of climate change, areas of suitable habitat and population size are likely to decline, threatening species survivorship. Here, we incorporated multiple measures of environmental change and species‐specific habitat requirements to assess the responses of two closely related primate species to future ...

Pump and sway: Wild primates use compliant supports as a tool to augment leaping in the canopy

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 2, June 2024.
This illustration shows typical branch pumping behavior in wild colobus monkeys to enhance leaping performance. The primate utilizes its body weight and fore‐ and hind limb flexion and extension to oscillate the compliant support to gain additional vertical velocity before take‐off.

Timing of conceptions in Phayre's leaf monkeys: Energy and phytochemical intake

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 183, Issue 2, February 2024.
Conceptions in Phayre's leaf monkeys cluster during months when progestin metabolites in feces were high—likely related to phytochemical intake. Periods of presumed high energy intake (based on fruit and leaf feeding) were not decisive, the energy intake did not vary significantly across months.

Sexual conflict. The evolution of infanticide by males in mammalian societies. [PDF]

, 2014
Male mammals often kill conspecific offspring. The benefits of such infanticide to males, and its costs to females, probably vary across mammalian social and mating systems.

The digestive physiology of colobine primates [PDF]

, 2006
Colobines are a group of primates from southeast Asia and Africa that feed, in nature, exclusively on leaves, fruits and seeds of trees, which contain high amounts of fibre and secondary plant compounds.
