Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23619
Abstract: In apes and humans, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be used as a predictive indicator of a variety of clinical conditions, longevity, and physiological stress. In chimpanzees specifically, NLR systematically varies with age, rearing,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2019.01.001
Abstract: Handedness, one of the most prominent expressions of laterality, has been historically considered unique to human. This noteworthy feature relates to contralateral inter-hemispheric asymmetries in the motor hand area following the mid-portion of the central… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhevol.2018.09.003
Abstract: Long-term male-female bonds and bi-parental investment in offspring are hallmarks of human society. A key question is how these traits evolved from the polygynandrously mating multimale multifemale society that likely characterized the Pan-Homo ancestor. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0263314
Abstract: Estimating population density and population dynamics is essential for understanding primate ecology and relies on robust methods. While distance sampling theory provides a robust framework for estimating animal abundance, implementing a constrained, non-systematic transect design… read more here.
