The development of chemical approaches to fossil hominin ecology in South Africa by Julia Lee-Thorp, Matt Sponheimer

“…We point to where we believe future progress is required and we suggest that closer attention is paid to the role of plants because, as the basis of all ecosystems, they represent the most important element in the diets of most primates and hominins. …”

Métacognition chez le babouin : chercher l'information manquante by Raphaëlle Malassis, Gilles Gheusi, Joël Fagot

“…Ces résultats suggèrent que des primates non-humains sont capables non seulement d'une évaluation de leur propre degré d'incertitude, mais également d'identifier précisément la source de cette incertitude, et d'orienter leurs comportements de recherche d'informations en conséquence.…”

Première observation d’un comportement de Leaf Swallowing chez des chimpanzés vivant en captivité à la Réserve Africaine de Sigean, France by Nathan Cazelles-Durand, Ulrich Maloueki, Lyna Rachid, Marielle Beltrame, Fanny Juillard, Désiré Musuyu-Muganza

“…Observation of LS in this healthy chimpanzee population (parasite-free, no noticeable intestinal discomfort) supports the hypothesis that LS originates from an opportunistic feeding behavior of primates in nature and not from an innate knowledge of the therapeutic property of this form of consumption. …”

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. …”

Programme pédagogique franco-malgache : Sensibiliser à la protection de la biodiversité à Madagascar et en Alsace by David Di Paolo, Corinne Di Trani‑Zimmermann

“…Les trois visites annuelles au Parc permettent (1) une meilleure connaissance de la faune et la flore malgache, approfondie par les recherches documentaires des élèves ; (2) l’établissement d’une classification phylogénétique simplifiée des Primates, dont les lémuriens et l’homme, grâce à un tableau simple de critères de détermination ; (3) une réflexion autour des problématiques environnementales concrètes et d’actualité dans les deux pays correspondants, telles que la déforestation à Madagascar ou l’introduction d’espèces invasives, à l’issue de laquelle les élèves proposent des solutions qui sont également discutées ; (4) l’observation de différences comportementales interspécifiques et de la hiérarchie sexuelle des lémuriens, grâce à des observations éthologiques simples et guidées (all occurrences sampling) sur différents groupes de lémuriens du Parc.…”

Conservation du lemur aux yeux turquoise (Eulemur flavifrons) by Brice Lefaux

“…L’instabilité politique et les difficultés économiques du pays compromettent la protection effective du lémurien, parmi les 25 primates les plus menacés au monde. Les mesures de conservation basées sur le développement des communautés villageoises de la zone de protection et les recherches menées à la station d’Ankarafa permettent d’évaluer les résultats du programme sur 25 ans. …”

Experimental trichuriasis: Changes in the immune response and bacterial translocation during acute phase development illustrated with 3D model animation. by Dayane Alvarinho de Oliveira, Renato Oliveira, Brunna Vianna Braga, Lorian Cobra Straker, Luciana Silva Rodrigues, Lilian Lacerda Bueno, Ricardo Toshio Fujiwara, Eduardo José Lopes-Torres

“…The potential zoonotic transmission of this disease is indicated by its presence in nonhuman primates. Chronic infection leads to mucosal damage, bacterial translocation, and intense inflammatory infiltration; however, the progression of these processes remains poorly understood. …”

Tree shrew as a new animal model for musculoskeletal disorders and aging by Xiaocui Wei, Honghao Li, Jingyang Qiu, Jianlin Jiao, Xiongtian Guo, Gaosheng Yin, Ping Yang, Yi Han, Qiongzhi Zhao, Hao Zeng, Zhi Rao, Xuefei Gao, Kai Li, Pinglin Lai, Sheng Zhang, Chengliang Yang, Di Lu, Xiaochun Bai

“…In this study, we investigated the potential suitability of the tree shrew, a small mammal with a close genetic relationship to primates, as a new animal model for MSDs. Age-related spontaneous IDD in parallel with a gradual disappearance of notochordal cells were commonly observed in tree shrews upon skeletal maturity with no sex differences, while age-related osteoporotic changes including bone loss in the metaphyses were primarily presented in aged females, similar to observations in humans. …”
