Mechanical problem solving by plush-crested jays: are tools special after all? by Jimena Lois-Milevicich, Lauriane Rat-Fischer, María Alicia de la Colina, Raúl Orencio Gómez, Juan Carlos Reboreda, Alex Kacelnik

“…Abstract Tool use is taxonomically associated with high behavioural flexibility and innovativeness, and its prevalence is greater in primates and some bird species. This association, however, is not known to be causally determinant of tool-related competence since flexibility and innovativeness are often observed in the absence of tool use and vice versa. …”

A Multiagent Alphavirus DNA Vaccine Delivered by Intramuscular Electroporation Elicits Robust and Durable Virus-Specific Immune Responses in Mice and Rabbits and Completely Protect... by Lesley C. Dupuy, Michelle J. Richards, Brian D. Livingston, Drew Hannaman, Connie S. Schmaljohn

“…Previously, we demonstrated that a VEEV DNA vaccine that was optimized for increased antigen expression and delivered by intramuscular (IM) electroporation (EP) elicited robust and durable virus-specific antibody responses in multiple animal species and provided complete protection against VEEV aerosol challenge in mice and nonhuman primates. Here, we performed a comparative evaluation of the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of individual optimized VEEV, WEEV, and EEEV DNA vaccines with that of a 1 : 1 : 1 mixture of these vaccines, which we have termed the 3-EEV DNA vaccine, when delivered by IM EP. …”

Abundance, Species Diversity, and Distribution of Diurnal Mammals in Humbo Community-Based Forest Area, Southern Ethiopia by Adanech Lemma, Wondimagegnehu Tekalign

“…During the survey, the leading order recorded was Artiodactyla followed by Primates. In terms of relative abundance, Anubis baboon (28.4% and 28.1%) and common duiker (19.4% and 11.4%) were the most abundant species, while warthog (12.1% and 8.9%) and lion (0.7% and 0.4%) were the least abundant during the wet and dry seasons, respectively. …”

An approximate likelihood method reveals ancient gene flow between human, chimpanzee and gorilla by Galtier, Nicolas

“…Analysis of coding and non-coding data in primates illustrates the potential of the approach and reveals that a substantial fraction of the human/chimpanzee/gorilla phylogenetic conflict is due to ancient gene flow. …”

Les bonobos se rappellent-ils la voix de leurs anciens partenaires ? by Florence Levréro, Sumir Keenan, Nicolas Mathevon, Jeroen MG Stevens, Jean Pascal Guéry, Klaus Zuberbühler

“…Long-term social recognition is vital for species with complex social networks, where familiar individuals can encounter one another after long periods of separation. For non-human primates who live in dense forest environments, visual access to one another is often limited, and recognition of social partners over distances largely depends on vocal communication. …”

Mathematical Modelling of the Transmission of Ebola Virus in Human Populations in Uganda. by Nkamuhabwa, Jolly

“…It causes the disease known as Ebola virus disease in humans, primates, and other animals. The research proposal is guided by some objectives which include developing and analyzing a mathematical model for the transmission of the Ebola virus in human populations of Uganda, formulating a modified SIER model for the Ebola virus disease transmission dynamics, determining disease-free equilibrium points and the basic reproduction number, to determine the endemic equilibrium points and to investigate the local stability of both the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points. …”

MOLECULAR TYPING OF METHICILLIN-SUSCEPTIBLE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MSSA), ISOLATED FROM MONKEYS, BASED ON COAGULASE GENE POLYMORPHISM by V. A. Kalashnikova

“…The lack of information on the genotyping of these pathogens detected in monkeys living in captivity served as a stimulus to conduct a similar research, since staphylococcal infections in the primates are widespread. The present study is devoted to the study of the polymorphism of a variable region of the coagulase gene and to the typing of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from monkeys of different species kept at Adler monkey farm. 115 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were studied using phenotypic and molecular genetic methods. …”
