Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) in New World Monkeys (Primates) Reveals the Distribution of Repetitive Sequences in Cebinae and Callitrichinae by Vanessa Milioto, Vincenzo Arizza, Aiti Vizzini, Polina L. Perelman, Melody E. Roelke-Parker, Francesca Dumas

“…In particular, this approach determines balanced and unbalanced repetitive DNA sequence distribution and reveals dynamics during evolution. Capuchin monkeys are considered the most ancestral group with conserved syntenies compared to the hypothetical ancestral New World monkeys’ karyotype. …”

The Grasp Reflex and Moro Reflex in Infants: Hierarchy of Primitive Reflex Responses by Yasuyuki Futagi, Yasuhisa Toribe, Yasuhiro Suzuki

“…The phylogenetic meaning of the reflex remains unclear. However, the hierarchical interrelation among these primitive reflexes seems to be essential for the arboreal life of monkey newborns, and the possible role of the Moro reflex in these newborns was discussed in relation to the interrelationship.…”

A long‐term study on food choices and nutritional goals of a leaf‐eating primate by Patrick Lauer, Colin A. Chapman, Patrick Omeja, Jessica M. Rothman, Urs Kalbitzer

“…However, the general applicability of electivity indices in biologically relevant foraging scenarios is unclear. Our major aims were to find effective methods to estimate animals' food choices and to investigate long‐term food choices and underlying nutritional goals of the red colobus monkey (Piliocolobus tephrosceles) in Kibale National Park, Uganda, an endangered folivore. …”

Effects of early maternal care on anxiety and threat learning in adolescent nonhuman primates by Elyse L. Morin, Erin R. Siebert, Brittany R. Howell, Melinda Higgins, Tanja Jovanovic, Andrew M. Kazama, Mar M. Sanchez

“…Consistent with human studies, maltreatment by the mother (MALT) leads to increased emotional reactivity in rhesus monkey infants. Whether this persists and results in altered emotion regulation, due to enhanced fear learning or impaired utilization of safety signals as shown in human stress-related disorders, is unclear. …”
