The paper compares left ventricular phenotypes across humans, chimpanzees, and macaques to identify structural and functional traits associated with higher stroke volume in humans.

This study examines how early life adversity affects adult behavior in free-ranging rhesus macaques, finding that ELA correlates with increased aggression, reduced grooming, and submissive behaviors.

The paper shows that age and early life adversity affect DNA methylation across tissues in macaques, with distinct but overlapping patterns.

This study compares cardiac structure and function in free-ranging and captive rhesus macaques across age, finding that captive macaques show more pronounced age-related cardiac changes.

This study shows that early life adversity in rhesus macaques affects growth, reproductive timing, and lifetime reproductive success, with adversity intensifying trade-offs between growth and reproduction.

The paper tests the social buffering hypothesis across 66 animal species, finding social species have lower demographic sensitivity to environmental variability, especially in unpredictable climates.

The paper estimates realized relatedness in free-ranging macaques using IBD analysis from low coverage whole genome data, revealing genetic variation within kin classes and cryptic relatives.

The paper addresses bias in estimating edge weights in sparse animal social networks by introducing zero-inflation into a Bayesian framework, demonstrating improved performance over frequentist methods in elephant data.

The paper examines how reduced social connectedness in older primates can mitigate infection risks from a hypothetical pathogen, showing age-related changes in social behavior affect disease dynamics.

The paper analyzes sex-biased gene expression in rhesus macaque brains to understand its evolutionary and biomedical implications, finding similarities with human patterns and associations with neurodevelopmental disorders.

This study investigates how kinship composition affects social structure in rhesus macaques but finds no significant difference, suggesting larger sample sizes or species comparisons may be needed.

This study examines age-related changes in ocular features of rhesus macaques, finding associations between age and corneal thickness, axial length, refractive error, cataracts, and retinal drusen.

This paper reviews rhesus macaques as a model for human ageing, showing shared gene regulatory signatures in immune ageing between macaques and humans.
