DOI: 10.1007/s10764-021-00229-z
Abstract: Small-scale comparisons help us to understand how habitat features and food availability impact primate abundance. This is particularly useful at sites without human impacts, as it allows for the investigation of the natural factors influencing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001939
Abstract: In the comparative study of human and nonhuman communication, ape gesturing provided the first demonstrations of flexible, intentional communication outside human language. Rich repertoires of these gestures have been described in all ape species, bar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0208999
Abstract: That great ape endocranial shape development persists into adolescence indicates that the splanchnocranium succeeds brain growth in driving endocranial development. However, the extent of this splanchnocranial influence is unknown. We applied two-block partial least squares… read more here.
