Natural history collections have long been used by morphologists, anatomists, and taxonomists
to probe the evolutionary process and describe biological diversity. These biological …

Baboons (genus Papio) are a morphologically and behaviorally diverse clade of catarrhine
monkeys that have experienced hybridization between phenotypically and genetically …

Obtaining high-quality samples from wild animals is a major obstacle for genomic studies of
many taxa, particularly at the population level, as collection methods for such samples are …

Human culture, biology, and health were shaped dramatically by the onset of agriculture ∼12,000
y BP This shift is hypothesized to have resulted in increased individual fitness and …

Primates have adapted to numerous environments and lifestyles but very few species are
native to high elevations. Here we investigated high-altitude adaptations in the gelada (…

Different human populations facing similar environmental challenges have sometimes evolved
convergent biological adaptations, for example, hypoxia resistance at high altitudes and …

The shift from a hunter-gatherer to an agricultural mode of subsistence is believed to have
been associated with profound changes in the burden and diversity of pathogens across …

In the endeavor to associate genetic variation with complex traits, closely related taxa are
particularly fruitful for understanding the neurophysiological and genetic underpinnings of …

Descriptions of primate diets are generally based on either direct observation of foraging
behavior, morphological classification of food remains from feces, or analysis of the stomach …

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has devastated health
infrastructure around the world. Both ACE2 (an entry receptor) and TMPRSS2 (used by the …
