Delacour’s langurs are one of the world’s 25 most endangered primates, w/less than 200 animals in the wild. Given their critically endangered status, unsurprisingly, variation in the mitochondrial D-loop suggest low levels of nucleotide and haplotype diversity #2025MMM #RIP shorturl.at/Vh30c

Delacour’s Langurs–1 of 7 species of “limestone langurs” –thrive in karst formations, regions w/steep cliffs + little nutrients except metals due to limestone erosion. SNP data suggest limestone langurs diverged from their forest-dwelling langur cousins 2.9 mya #2025MMM doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msz301

The Tasmanian devil has been devasted by cancers that cause facial tumors. While animals have 14 chromosomes, their tumors only have 13 abnormal chromosomes and these abnormalities are consistent across individuals, suggesting the cancer is transmitted btwn animals. #2025MMM doi.org/10.1038/439549a

The MHC locus, key to immune response, was sequenced in Tamanduas across South America. Tamanduas from rainforests like the Amazon showed higher MHC allele diversity, likely as a result of exposure to more pathogens in that ecosystem. #2025MMM #RIP doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Watch what you eat! Sequencing of fecal samples from tamanduas at different locations showed that those that were fed a zoo-made diet had a much different microbiome dominated by the Lactobacillaceae family than those that were fed a commercial diet. #2025MMM doi.org/10.1186/s425...

Analysis of cytochrome B found that the Phoca complex separated into two lineages around 6 million years ago. One of them led to harp and ribbon seals, and the other one later diverged into all other extant species of the Phoca complex #2025MMM doi.org/10.1007/bf00...

White-faced capuchins could not avoid defeat but they do avoid inbreeding! By determining parentage of wild capuchins w/microsatellites, it seems like fathers–especially alphas who sire most offspring–and daughters avoid mating when they live together. #2025MMM #RIP doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2006.02.055
