African bush pigs exhibit porous species boundaries and appeared in Madagascar concurrently with human arrival

This study analyzes whole genomes of African bushpigs and Malagasy bushpigs, revealing recent divergence and gene flow, challenging species boundaries and linking their arrival in Madagascar to human migration.

Distribution and extent of suitable habitat for geladas (Theropithecus gelada) in the Anthropocene

This study models the impact of climate change on gelada habitat distribution, finding a significant reduction in suitable habitat by 2070 and suggesting anthropogenic pressures contribute to niche truncation.

Genome-wide coancestry reveals details of ancient and recent male-driven reticulation in baboons

Genomic data from 225 baboons reveal novel inter-species gene flow sites and local admixture effects across different lineages.

Multiple bursts of speciation in Madagascar's endangered lemurs

This study investigates the speciation patterns in lemurs, revealing multiple diversification bursts and high genomic introgression rates, which contribute to their diversity and have implications for conservation.

Adulis and the transshipment of baboons during classical antiquity

The paper analyzes mitochondrial genomes of baboons from Gabbanat el-Qurud and museum specimens to trace their origins to Adulis and the Land of Punt, suggesting ancient trade connections.

Male Guinea baboons are oblivious to their females' whereabouts

The study finds male Guinea baboons do not track the movement of their associated females, despite recognizing their voices.

MALE-MALE SOCIAL BONDING, COALITIONARY SUPPORT AND REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS IN WILD GUINEA BABOONS

The paper examines the relationship between male-male bonding, coalitionary support, and reproductive success in wild Guinea baboons, finding that strong bonds do not enhance reproductive success, but reduced social investment correlates with higher reproductive output.

Genomic Skimming and Nanopore Sequencing Uncover Cryptic Hybridization in One of World's Most Threatened Primates

The paper uses genomic skimming and nanopore sequencing to identify a cryptic hybrid marmoset with a C. aurita phenotype but C. penicillata mitochondrial lineage.

Post-copulatory behavior of olive baboons (Papio anubis) infected by Treponema pallidum

This study examines post-copulatory behavior in olive baboons with genital ulcers caused by Treponema pallidum, finding no impact of ulcers on post-copulatory interactions.

Coordination during group departures and group progressions in the tolerant multilevel society of wild Guinea baboons (Papio papio)

This study examines group coordination in wild Guinea baboons, finding that both males and females initiate departures, and affiliated individuals tend to travel together.
