#Obstetric constraints in six #monkey genera
'The genera Callithrix, Cebus, and Saimiri exhibit a much tighter fit between the fetal head and the narrowest part of the birth canal than the other monkey genera, actually exceeding the degree of constraint seen in humans.'

"We were even more shocked that they were doing their own spin on this by also inserting the grass and sticks in a different orifice."

This gibbon's expression perfectly captures the judgment of my third-year acting professor, while he watched me butcher A Long Day's Journey Into Night.

"Une étude publiée lundi bat en brèche l'idée d'une dominance des mâles largement répandue chez les primates. Cette recherche dresse un tableau bien plus nuancé des relations entre sexes opposés chez nos espèces cousines que sont les singes et lémuriens."

Our #study finds that #male #dominance isn't the norm among #primates, and starts to unravel what shapes flexibility in intersexual power

Challenging alpha male’ norms: new study across #primates reveals that power relationships between males and females are less clear-cut than expected. An intl. team including D. Lukas @mpi-eva-leipzig.bsky.social shows that context matters for which sex has power www.mpg.de/24986976/063...

The light was not great on these monkeys but... I have finally developed something to capture the mood of this family.
This infant with barely any hair on its head glazing curiously at the sub-adult who was springing between the ground and the branch. With her moist eyes filled and reclining on the lap of its mother, who is busy in grooming herself, this infant perhaps already knew one day she will be jumping like her friend. #liontailedmacaque #primates #monkeys #nature #wildlife #rainforest #endangeredspecies #WesternGhats

Lion-tailed macaques nurses and carry their infants under their belly until one year. Once they are matured, they are on their own. The age of females for the first birth is 6 years and the inter-birth interval is 30-36 months. The delayed sexual maturity and long inter-birth intervals is one of the factors for their low population turnover. #liontailedmacaque #primates #wildlife #nature #rainforest
