Sleep is often treated as a casualty of modern life. Artificial lighting, shift work, endless notifications and late-night ...

An often overlooked feature could give scientists new insight into the lives of ancient primate species. Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed formulas that can calculate the ...

The presence of a coiled cochlea is a unique feature of the therian inner ear. While some aspects of the cochlea are already known to affect hearing capacities, the full extent of the relationships ...

The order Primates includes more than 500 extant species highly variable in body and brain size, activity and locomotor patterns, diet, habitat and social system. A deeper understanding of the nature ...

Researchers determine that a primate’s tooth root, and not just its crown, can yield reliable information about body size, but the relationship between root surface area and diet isn’t as clear.

For decades, the story of primate origins seemed straightforward. Early primates were thought to have emerged in warm, humid forests before spreading across the world. The idea fitted neatly with what ...

Research suggests 66 percent of primate species are vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered and 85 percent of primate species are in decline. In many ways, humans are largely to blame. While ...

Q: What can living animals tell us about the behavior of extinct animals that we otherwise only know from fossils? A: When you look at the fossil record, all you have really is a pile of bones. It's a ...

An often overlooked feature could give scientists new insight into the lives of ancient primate species. Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed formulas that can calculate the ...

Researchers have developed formulas that can calculate the body size of a primate based on the root size of its teeth. The formulas could allow researchers to make use of partial and incomplete ...
